We were there in late April 2012 for a wedding in Newport. We did not expect much but this turned out to be a lovely property. Our room was large with a Bay Window. All the rooms are around the pool, with lovely lush vegetation, tables, chairs, umbrellas, chaise lounge. Though no breakfast is offered (unlike most Holiday Inns), there... More

Last year we stayed at the H.I. Dana Point, and while the location was ideal, we had some issues that forced us to look at other properties. Generally, we didn't feel safe, and couldn't sleep with the windows open there due to people smoking (all sorts of things) on their balconies and the street noise was really bad at that... More

We found this Holiday Inn by chance What a wonderful place. It feels like a Spanish hacienda with the rooms arranged in courtyard style around the pool. There were pretty flowers all around the pool that was heated even though it was February We loved the location of this special place,walking distance to the village and just across the street...

Our daughter is living in Orange for a few months so this is our second stay in Laguna within the last 6 weeks. We love Laguna!!! The first time we stayed at the Inn at Laguna Beach - loved the location right near Main Beach. But for this last trip rates much higher there and when we walked by the... More

If you set your expectations that you are in Laguna Beach, across from the ocean, and that you won't be in your room often, then this is a perfect hotel for you. Our team was on business and opted for the Holiday Inn Express in Laguna Beach because of its location and price. We looked at other (off brand) hotels... More

Just wanted to say we had a lovely stay here. The front desk was so helpful and really friendly. Great staff. My kids loved the complimentary lemonade. I loved easy access to bottled water and coffee. The hotel is not large, but the lobby area is a really nice meeting place. I was happy every time I walked in the... More

We stayed in suite, room 49. It was very roomy and comfortable. The bathroom is quite big, almost as big as the bedroom, with a step-up whirlpool tub/shower, but only one sink. The hotel is centered around a pool courtyard and the rooms can only be accessed through locked gates or staffed lobby. (the pool must be original to the... More

Very nice hotel. A Holiday Inn with a bit of a boutique hotel feel. Nice rooms, comfortable bed. Only thing is the carpet is alittle dated. Very good location, within walking distance to the beach, all the good restaurants and shopping destinations. There is also a supermarket across the street. They also offer drinks and popcorn at the lobby for... More

I normally tend to stray away from holiday inn and would prefer more boutique style places, but I was really happy with my stay here. The grounds were really nice and the Location is great. The staff was really friendly and helpful and next door is a super market for late night snacks. More importantly the beds were comfortable. I... More

My wife and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Laguna Beach for ten days from March 19 to 29, 2012. I am Priority Club Platinum member and I decided to use my reward points for a California vacation, using this hotel as our home base.

Thank you for your comment. I just would like to clarify the priority club members benefit on room upgrades. As a member of priority club which is Holiday inns reward program, a platinum member gets a room upgrade if its available and that does not include any suites just the next level room up. Since we are a small property... More
