10/10 Excellent

Wonderful hotel in Laguna Beach, conveniently located close to town and right on the beach. You can watch the sunset every night from your personal balcony. The hot tub is a nice addition. The staff are very helpful and friendly (shout out to the valet attendant Gabe!) . We will definitely return.
