    Room 111, king bed, tv, desk, AC

    Perfect little spot to stop and stay while in town for a conference. Front desk was helpful and went out of their way to assist me upon arrival, and again with a quickly resolved technical issue. Absolutely will stay again at this hidden gem. Thank you!

    Great mom and pop hotel for a quick stay!! My bf and I needed a quick place to stay while my parents were in an Airbnb nearby, we book this place last minute and it was affordable, clean, and comfortable! King sized bed with a tv. You can tell that the bedding is new! I forgot to take pictures of the room but the other ones represent. Nice bathroom and pretty spacious.

    Had a nice experience at the Crescent Bay Inn! Was greeted and helped out with checking in early. So close to the beach! The place has character and it feels homey :)

    The bottom on all of the furniture was like this. Not a good choice for a beachside interior.

    Icky and uncomfortable. I stayed here years ago when it was very old but it was still clean and in good repair. The place has an unsettling odor as if the only cleaning product being used is ammonia. This does not remove the soap scum from the shower floor or clean the shower curtain which has probably never been changed out since they installed it. The towels are child- sized and not exactly new. There was no hair conditioner, no hangers and there was no housekeeping. One of the things about any beach property is that it's necessary to replace anything that gets oxidized from the salt air. Additionally there is the risk of roaches so the place should be able to be sealed well, not have a large gap at the front door. We were very dissatisfied with the PCH sidewalk location with heavy traffic. There is basically no difference between sleeping on the street or in the room in terms of noise. Horrible!

    First time staying here, but won't be our last. Not a fancy hotel, no pool or jacuzzi, but rooms are comfortable, with mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and air conditioning. We paid to upgrade to ocean view rooms, and glad we did; these are in Building 3, which are furthest from street, closest to beach (Building 1 is on the street, and I imagine would be loud). We had two 2-Queen rooms: 309 - which had the nicest ocean view, and 306 - semi-blocked by a huge Torrey Pine, but ocean view through the Torrey Pine was lovely, too. No balcony, but outside the door is a walkway, which you could stand on and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine. They also have a nice sitting area downstairs, with a table, chairs a couple loungers and a fire pit, plus beach shower, and some chairs and beach towels to borrow. Easy walk to beautiful Crescent Bay Beach and park. Manager Sal was very friendly and helpful, too. Look forward to our next trip!

    View from room

    Great place to stay! We had room facing ocean view, beautiful and quiet. Short walk to beach, hotel has chairs, towels. Trolley in Laguna Beach is great, up and down main streets to get to restaurants and pageant of the masters! Trolley is close to hotel. Outdoor patio is nice as well.

    Walk way to the cove

    We love staying at Crescent Bay Inn. The clerk was incredibly helpful and friendly. He helped us find a better parking spot for our bigger vehicle. The parking is a little challenging so be careful. They room was clean, the air conditioning worked great and we loved that the offer beach towels to use. The beach shower is very helpful when you return from the short walk to the beautiful cove. We look forward to staying there again, affordable and fantastic location.

    We, I was there to celebrate my sister's birthday!

    I was a little worried when we saw the facility, but the rooms were nice and clean! The management are very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the area! My family and I needed to understand that coastal beachfront properties have been around for many many years and that the buildings are older!

    walk to beach

    This place was pretty great! I paid 140$ for four nights. It was really close to the beach, walking distance. The location was great as well. Everything was nearby about 10pm items away. I would come here again. You get what you pay for. I have no complaints.

    Ocean "view" off to the left. Building in front of this one.

    See all

The service was excellent and can see that staff takes great care and attention to making sure everything is taken care of. We very much appreciated all the amenities this inn had to offer such as the welcome drink, evening cookies (delicious!), sauna, sunblock at the pool, towels, lovely breakfast.. all complimentary (breakfast with resort fee). We also appreciated the 10% military discount. We stayed in room 23 which was a standard queen bed with garden view and liked that spot because it felt central, private, and quiet. The room is on the smaller side but it was fine. It does not have a fridge but they provide an ice bucket. We ended up putting our bottled waters on top of the AC box and that kept it cool. Being that the inn is beautifully historic, there weren't many outlets inside the room. The bath robes were very plush. Both lamp shade knobs didn't seem to turn properly but we made it work somehow. Otherwise, we felt well taken care of throughout our stay and so glad we came. Aside from the inn, there is a walk to get to Victoria Beach. We walked south along Coast Highway to Victoria Place and found the underpass from there. We also took the free trolley outside of the hotel to get around town. It could be quite a wait for the trolley as we waited 30 mins. There is a QR code on the sign to track the trolley locations.

The staff were friendly and attentive while we hung out at the pool. They even offered us a free upgrade for the jacuzzi wellness spa which comes with a whole bottle of champagne! The rooms had character, a comfy bed, and came equipped with many fun bar items for purchase. It was a bit musty but I think that is expected with being so close to the beach. One of my favorite parts of the hotel that was unexpected was the free breakfast. The breakfast was seated with a server where we had many options from a delicious, light, and healthy menu. Definitely recommend Casa Laguna for a celebration, staycation, or a relaxing weekend getaway. :)

    Where do I even start?…read more Surf & Sand Resort was everything I hoped it would be ... and more. We booked just one night on 3/21/26, and honestly, I'm already wishing it had been longer. From the moment we arrived to the very last second of our stay, the service was nothing short of phenomenal. Valet, check-in, room service, pool staff, etc. Every single person we encountered made us feel genuinely welcomed. A special shoutout to Splashes Restaurant. Their brunch was easily one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. And then... the room. Management graciously upgraded us to the penthouse, and I was completely speechless. The ocean views alone were unforgettable. To make it even more special, the room was beautifully set up with flower petals and candles everywhere. Tt felt incredibly romantic and thoughtful, and truly elevated our anniversary celebration. My wife's reaction was worth it all! My wife and I also treated ourselves to a spa day, and it was just as incredible. Lana was my therapist, and her hands were magic. I've had plenty of massage therapists in my life, but she has to be the best one yet. As a blue-collar worker, I carry a lot of tension, and she left me feeling amazing after our appointment. Lana, thank you as well! I truly can't thank the team enough for helping my wife and me celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary in such a special way. This trip gave us a core memory we'll never forget. To everyone there, thank you. You were incredible. We'll definitely be back soon.

My room appeared to be next to what sounded like a utility or service room, and there was loud equipment noise running throughout the entire night. Sleeping was nearly impossible. I reached out to the hotel by both text and email after my stay and was told the matter would be looked into. It has now been over a week with no follow-up or resolution whatsoever. For the rates Surf & Sand charges, guests should not be placed in rooms with constant overnight noise issues, and concerns should certainly not be ignored afterward. Very disappointing experience from a hotel that presents itself as a luxury property.

From the second we arrived, everything just felt easy and welcoming, no pretense, just a really warm and genuine vibe. Our room was beautiful in that coastal style that doesn't try too hard, and we found ourselves at various moments just absorbing the atmosphere, having coffee in the morning, sitting and talking longer than usual, and just enjoying the quiet view. One of my favorite moments was watching the gorgeous pacific coast sunset together from the property. It feels like the hotel is designed to help you slow down and actually be present. The service throughout our stay was thoughtful but never over the top, and the whole hotel has this calm energy that made it perfect for an intimate birthday that wasn't about having a big bash, but more so being somewhere beautiful with someone I love.

You can take the beach path on the ocean side of the hotel (there are a lot of stairs) or take the sidewalk on the street side of the hotel. We stayed in the Sunset Suite on the 5th (top) floor. The view from the room and balcony was incredible, especially at sunset. The room was very nicely decorated and extremely comfortable. The bed, pillows, and towels were perfect and felt very luxurious. The cleaning staff did an exceptional job - everything was spotless and nicely tidied up.
