We travelled all around the USA in different types of hotels from 5 star to 1, i do not care what the decor is like. But the most important thing is CLEAN SHEETS and clean room. Not the case in this hotel. Old Blood stains on sheets. Also gas smell in our room. Hotel close to beach which is a... More

This Inn is basic and a little funky but completely adequate for the traveller on a budget. There is access to the beautiful Crescent Bay Beach which is a 2 minute stroll down the hill through some pretty impressive ocean view properties. Rooms have a basic kitchen and flat screen tv and a shared balcony with beautiful sea views. Rooms... More

Prior to making our reservation, I inquired as to why the pricing for this hotel was so inexpensive. Katherine informed me that the property was "old" and the low pricing helped them stay full. I can handle an old property, so my next question to her was whether or not the rooms were clean. She assured me that cleanliness was... More

We discovered the Crescent Bay Inn quite by chance and had a wonderful 3 nights there. The manager Catherine was charming and couldn't have been more helpful. Our room #25 was tastefully decorated, clean and had a wonderful view of the sea. The beach was only a few minutes away by foot, has crystal clear water and was wonderful for... More

Pros - ocean view; I was able to stay only 1 night, not the 2 nights required by most Laguna Beach hotels on a weekend; my room was on the end of the building, and was quiet; it's near the free trolley stop; no charge for parking your car there Cons - I was able to write in the dust... More

I found the Crescent Bay Inn to be a charming little inn with some views of the ocean. The staff were friendly and super helpful and the Manager, Catherine, bent over backwards to make my stay pleasant.

We did not have a reservation and found this hotel late in the evening. I was pleasantly surprised with its old style qurikiness. Our 2nd floor room had 2 queen beds, wood floors, flat screen TV, small kitchenette with old style cabinets, frig, microwave, and coffee pot. There were no utensils, plates,coffee, or ice machine. We did get a small... More

Yes it's funky, yes it's old, a bit shabby, but that's what I like about it - man, look at the price! Nothing else in Laguna is that cheap. Having spent a lifetime of summers in Laguna, this place is a gem and very reminiscent of the "old days" of beachy houses. Don't forget that you have parking and that... More
