This hotel is situated in a quiet section of South Laguna Beach. Yes, it is right across the street from the Montage Resort in which one must walk a considerable distance down steps , through gardens, and then down more steps to reach a beach or cove area. really, it isn't a bad walk down, but the trek can be... more

Our first stay at this property was in 1999 to attend the Pageant. The grounds were so beautiful - every color of Begonia you could imagine. The rooms were clean and very adequate. Our next stay was in 2007 (again to attend the Pageant). As before, the room was clean and well appointed and the grounds and pool were pretty... more

This motel is an amazing value. The staff was friendly, the rooms were spacious and well appointed. The parking was ample, but most incredibly it was still free. The location was perfect for day tripping to San Diego amusement parks as well as the Disney Parks. We enjoyed taking a dip in the pool and using the jacuzzi in the... more

This was by far the most expensive hotel we stayed at during our recent road trip (including 4 star hotels) and the most disapointing. The courtyards looked very alluring at first and the room seemed ok - , but the bathroom was particularly tired with mucky old grouting and fixtures, and a very noisy fridge hummed all night. The breakfast... more

I thought the rooms very spacious and elegant feeling, with beautiful grounds. BUT the best part is the direct access to the beautiful grounds at the Montage without paying the big bucks. I've never spent any time in South Laguna, as I prefer to be closer in, but the free shuttle running often and the quiet area, and beauty made... more

The Inn is situationed around a lovely tropical garden with a swimming pool in the middle. Room with two double beds was spacious. Plenty of towels in the bathroom though the shower was a disappointment. Water literally tricked out. Ended up having to rinse my hair in sink! Car parking and internet is free and the free trolley bus into... more

We recently enjoyed several relaxing days at the Inn. The grounds are very lush, lending a tropical air to the surroundings. The rooms were adequate in size and clean - with very comfy beds. Best two things - price and location. Just across the street from a lovely protected beach cove and easy access to the rest of Laguna by... more

a more affordable option a little way out of the main part of town, fine if you have a car. We liked it here as it was quieter than the main area and easy to park your car. The hotel is opposite the Montage Resort and the walk through the resort down to the beach is lovely. The beach there... more

The lady at the front desk at first came off as though she was brash but as time went by it really wasn't the case. Her knowledge of local restaurants though seemed weak, maybe she isn't from the area or has only been there a short time. We stayed there last year too and she wasn't working there then so... more
