What a neat little place! I've been to a lot of the hotels in Laguna Beach, and I am adding this one to my list of "secret spots". Clean room with good amenities; short walk to the beach... all the little details make this a great getaway.

My husband and I spent a couple nights at the Crescent Bay Inn as we came into town for a funeral. The accommodations were reasonably priced. The room was sufficient for the price and time needed. We were given the option of upgrading our room to Building C, with an ocean view, for a very reasonable price, however, we did not think the upgrade was necessary for our short visit. We were located in Building A, Rm#111 in the end unit. With this building bordering the highway, it was a little louder at night. We used a white noise machine to drown some of the street noise out, so it was fine for us. The manager, Sal, was wonderful! He's incredibly friendly, gave us lots of suggestions for dining and site seeing. The hotel was located within walking distance of the Pavilions restaurants and within 3 minutes of the beach. We'll definitely keep this place in mind for future visits. The bed was comfortable, linens & towels were clean. The room came with a microwave and mini refrigerator as well. It would've been wonderful to have extra pillows and blanket, but we made it work.

Overall, this was a decent enough stay. The outside of the property looked questionable. The rooms were dated and the bed wasn’t very comfortable. However, it was in a nice and safe area and walkable to the restaurants and shops.

The room was clean but needed repairs such as the towel rack and toilet paper holder, some water damage at the door and but the shower. The room walls are thin and you can hear the neighbors clearly. The room also has a musty smell

From check in to check out, our stay was seamless. The location was great. Not downtown, but about a mile walk if you want to get steps in. There are also restaurants within walking distance.There's close access to the ocean from the hotel and beach towels are provided. Our host was very helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. Hotel/Rooms are older, but clean and the bathrooms had a lovely shower. We would definitely stay here again!
