This was our 3rd year staying at Crescent Bay and we love it. Sal and his family are wonderful hosts and the property is a short walk to a lovely beach. If you are seriously in Laguna to enjoy the beach, then this is a great little place to stay.
The young lady at the front desk was just super. She was so knowledgeable about suggestions for us in Laguna Beach. When we decided to stay an extra night, she made it work for us.
Fantastic location right on the PCH. Beautiful view of the bay from window in our room. Walkable to downtown area(about a mile) though there is a free trolley in the evenings. Conveniently located to Crystal Cove State Park. Beach is a two minute walk.
The owner and staff were very friendly, the room was clean and comfortable. Its about a 3 or 4 Block walk to the Laguna Beach Trolley and that was an efficient way to get around, once one figures it out. Not many restaurant options nearby, but we enjoyed the downtown area most of the day.
Parking is safe. Views are beautiful. Access to free trolley is close. Sal was very kind and shared lots of details for making our stay eventful.
This is an affordable and nice option in a very expensive beach town, so keep that in mind when booking.

Excellent location! Beach, cove is walking distance, small peaks of the ocean on shared front doors patio, if you’re six foot tall…., unfortunately room smelled bad.., chemicals.., aired out in a few hours after we came back, never closed the windows., just anticipated check out…
Very affordable stay and I loved that it was like 5-10min from the beach walking. Bed was super comfy and the management knew a lot about the area which was cool. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a more affordable hotel/motel.
Exactly as advertised ! Worth the extra $$ for the ocean front room since they are also the furthest from the noisy road making those the quietest rooms .
