Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room had a comfortable warm temperature and was prepared upon arrival, but the location was a bit out of the way. The service was friendly but lacked experience to solve issues efficiently.
Even though the room did not quite deliver the promised ocean view, my stay was still wonderful. The service was exceptional, with personal touches at every interaction. The location was stunning, perfect for relaxation, but the dining experience left something to be desired with overpriced small portions.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and lovely with a veranda, albeit a bit noisy when on the balcony. The location was spectacular with breathtaking views, but the service, especially at the poolside, left much to be desired.
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's location, nestled in Laguna Beach with breathtaking views and clean surroundings. The rooms, although a bit noisy on the balcony, were spacious and well-appointed, making my stay comfortable and cozy. However, the service had its ups and downs as there were some mishaps with orders, but the small thoughtful gestures didn't go unnoticed, adding a nice touch. The dining experience was excellent, especially the hot sandwiches, and the facilities were top-notch, catering to all my needs.
The hotel offers very spacious and comfy rooms, though the ocean view was only partial and often foggy. The service was exceptional overall, except for a minor issue with requesting extra milk. The location is stunning, with beautiful surroundings and friendly employees. Dining was noted as overpriced for small portions. The facilities are good, but the rooms could use updating.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very well designed and comfortable until 3:30 pm, offering privacy and spaciousness with a bathroom, living room, dining table, wet bar nicely appointed, and another full bath. However, the service had its ups and downs, with some staff being nice while others, especially one of their managers, came off as condescending. The location was clean, well-maintained, and had some spectacular aspects, but there were some letdowns with the room situation and a disappointing experience on Thanksgiving in Andrea. The dining was excellent, but the portions were very small and definitely overpriced. Overall, it was a stay with highs and lows.
