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!
