This was our second stay with the Crescent Bay Inn, we love the location, easy access to the beach and the price for location. The staff were helpful and we had a great stay.
Great location and value; staff was super nice and helpful. Love that you can walk to the beach directly from hotel. Beds are comfortable, but rooms and bathrooms need some renovation. Also would be nice to have a kettle to boil water inside a room - there is a coffee machine, but what if you’re not a coffee drinker?

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.
This was a great place to stay! So close to the beaches!!

The room was comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room has only a peek of the ocean, but is a short walk to the beach. The bathroom shower door hinges were rusty and there were metal shaving all over the floor and toilet lid when we got there. It looks like they attached the towel rack to the wall and drilled through the metal brackets. The rest of the room was nice.
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.
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.
