Everything was great. It smells like flowers on the whole property. The place is so well kept. You can tell the owners and staff take pride in this place. They also have beach stuff for you to use. Pool was great and the outdoor fireplace. Zero complaints.

Our room was great! We loved having a little kitchenette! The beach was super easy to get to and the hotel staff was very nice and helpful with beach towels and boogie boards! This is definitely an older motel, but our room was clean and we couldn’t beat the price. We loved that there were coffee shops and a grocery store nearby as well.

This is a great place to stay in Laguna for the price. It's super close to everything and even though it's not right on the beach, it might as well be! We enjoyed our time here. I just wish there was some outside seating, it looked like some units had it but our top one did not. Otherwise 10/10

It was clean and convenient. In our particular room, the shower was as tiny as in a cruise ship and the door’s location could make it inaccessible to a larger person. Only stayed one night and it was more than adequate.
