The hotel was great. Sal and his wife were very accommodating and helpful. The room was very comfortable and the location was great. It’s 3 minutes walking from the beach They provided beach chairs and buckets and beach toys for the kids. We will return to the hotel if back in Laguna. The only downside was some early evening road traffic noise if your room is close to the road.

Great stay overall. The owners were very sweet. Close to the beach and a quick drive to restaurants. Gave 3 stars because it’s very outdated.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. Location was close to all main attractions including the beach and a free trolley that runs throughout Laguna. A big highlight was SAL who runs the Inn. Absolutely a pleasure. Friendly, knowledgeable and has everything you need as well as great food referrals. It's rare staff is such a high point.

One of the main reasons I booked the hotel is that it's site stated breakfast is provided. Management told me on arrival that there is no breakfast, and that it shouldn't be on the website as they stopped serving breakfast during Covid. I believe they updated their website since. The photos of the firepit are not accurate. There are no cushions at all so the seating is uncomfortable. We were told the fire would be lit from 8-10. It was not and seems to be lit at the discretion of managment. There is a very bright flood light that shines directly on the outside seating area so it would be hard to enjoy a fire regardless. The posted office hours states it's closed at 10 pm. We arrived at 9pm to pick up teabags and ask about the firepit not being lit. The office door was locked and no one came out despite knocking. (The door was locked earlier in the day at 6 pm but the manager did come out when I knocked then.) We were told next day to have called which we didn't do at 9pm so as not to disturb the manager. Finally, there is little to no ocean view in room 304 due to overgrown trees and bushes behind the motel.This said, you can hear the ocean at night which was great. I would not stay here again due to the discrepant (wrong) information posted on its website and onsite which a reasonable person would not have anticipated, including my friend and me.

Convenient spot for getting to a run in Crystal Cove state park. Had to find a place to purchase decaf coffee for the Keurig coffee maker since they only provide regular coffee. I had no idea how difficult finding parking was on a weekend in Laguna!

Booked this last year and this year for my April birthday. Sal is very willing to take care of you and is a very good property manager. Very nice stay if you want to stay in the northern Laguna Beach area. Trolleys easy to get to to take you downtown. And Crescent Beach access is very close. Will do this again.

5 Stars – Perfect Laguna Getaway

My wife and I stayed at Crescent Bay Inn for three nights and absolutely loved it. The highlight of our trip was being just a 3-minute walk from Crescent Bay Beach—perfect for peaceful morning strolls. The location couldn’t be better: you’re within walking distance of all the charm Laguna Beach has to offer, and if walking isn’t your thing, the local trolley makes it easy to get around. If you're looking for a more lively nightlife scene, Newport and Costa Mesa are just a 20-minute drive away. What truly made our stay special was the incredible hospitality from Sal and his team. Sal went above and beyond, sharing local tips and must-visit spots that really enhanced our trip. Friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming—exactly what you hope for in a host. We’ll definitely be back!

Sal (the owner). Was very helpful and gave good advice about the area. The block we stayed in was a bit tired. But at this price point and location. A lot of these things can be overlooked on a short stay as they were outnumbered by the positives.
