We had a 3rd floor room with a partial ocean view, which was as good as it gets due to the road and other hotels being between us and the sea. However, we could see the ocean and waves breaking, so no complaints. the hotel is about 1.5 miles out from the centre of Laguna beach, which is a nice... More

Average hotel in a great location. In general, I guess Laguna Beach is expensive, if you can secure a discounted rate - do so. I attended a wedding and spent a considerable amount of time across the street and at various restaurants and bars. If you are looking for amenities, this is not the hotel but it definitely has LOCATION... More

The hotel is situated near a busy road and has no view of the beach. There is a private garage for the car. The lay-out of the hotel is rather strange: the lobby is in the cellar and rooms have only small windows towards a small open corridor. As a result there is a lot of noise from the neighbours,...

The Best Western was a decent place to stay. I was a little dissappointed in quality, but just because I'm used to newer hotels. The rooms felt clean, the jet tub was lovely, and the staff was nice. The hotel is in a great location and right across the street from the beach. It was fantastic with an 8 month... More

Thank you for staying with us! The beach access is especially nice as there is a walkway with no stairs leading you right to the beach. Unless you are at busy Main Beach, all other beach access requires use of stairs which can be a challenge for strollers. Thanks again! More

We stayed here due to its location, which is right on PCH. The hotel has an undercover parking which is convenient and the staff was helpful.

I had to book this hotel at the last minute. The place looked inviting from the outside and it caught our eye from the beginning. However the intrigue was soon over.
