Crescent Bsy is the place to stsy!
Pros:

Sal and the ladies were very kind. Sal told us how to catch the trolley, and showed us the paths to the beach and a beautiful vantage point overlooking ocean! The price was quite a bit less than other hotels. The room was quiet, secluded, and perfect for our needs!

Great location near beautiful beach at a great price
Pros:

Had a great experience at the Crescent Bay Inn. I had stayed at a much more expensive hotel for the first two nights and needed a more budget friendly option for the last night. It's definitely a motel, not a fancy hotel, but if you get building C you will have a nice ocean view and the rooms are clean, well appointed and modern. But the real stars of the show are: 1. Cost---MUCH more affordable than most other options. 2. Management--the manager (owner?) was friendly and responsive to all my requests 3. LOCATION!!!! This motel is a short (1/4 mile? ) walk through gorgeous neighborhoods down to the most beautiful beach I have ever seen! No crowds, the most beautiful crescent shaped beach flanked by sheer cliffs and palm trees...just gorgeous! and it even had a lifeguard on duty!

If you want to have a Laguna Beach experience at an affordable price, look no further!

Disappointing and smelly.
Pros:

The girl in reception was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

This was not what we expected. The sea view was over the top of buildings and trees and the balcony was the walkway in front of the room. No lifts so 1st floor involved lugging our luggage up stairs.
The room was big and looked tidy but it had a very old, urine-ish smell to it.
We didn't stay, we paid for a better place down the road.

Comfortable, well-located, friendly - beach nearby!
Pros:

Sal was very lovely and friendly - I have no doubt that had we had issues, he would have resolved them. Location was great - just a short walk to the beach, stores and a couple of cafes. Bed was sooo comfortable- I slept incredibly well.

Cons:

Nothing in particular was negative. In hindsight I would have paid extra for a view, as we fell sick and so spent more time in the room than expected, but you cannot predict these things!

Great experience!
Pros:

Great guest service. Room was super clean. Only issue was that we had to wait for someone to come to the office for check-in. Otherwise, really satisfied with the stay overall.
