Expedia did not deliver. The pictures they showed pertaining to this hotel was clean and a place that we would want to stay in. What we got was quite different. Pacific edge would not change our room unless we paid more. And Expedia would not make things right for us. I have received at least 10 different emails from Expedia all with different replies. They state they want to make things right, but will not do anything about it. I told them I would write a poor review and never utilize Expedia again. That’s when they offered me $75 in credit but then resend it. Expedia is horrible. Don’t believe the pictures they show it’s false advertising. All I’m getting at this point is an AI response. It’s no customer service. Do not use them.

Everything was great as always. I’ve been here about 6 times. Beach access is the best part. However, for the prices we pay— especially when booking an oceanfront room, PARKING SHOULD BE INCLUDED. Your only options are, park outside at your own risk of meters running out and getting a ticket. Or pay $45 for valet parking. I find this ridiculous. Be advised when booking here. Parking will hurt your pocket.

This whole experience was such a pain and ruined my peaceful feeling. After arriving and settling in we decided to sit on the porch while our child went to bed. When we went to open our door at around 8pm, our key card would not work. We ended up with 4 more sets of keys before we were able to get into our room where our child was unaware that we couldn’t get in. He’s 7. The key cards proceeded not to work 7x in total over 2 days with over 7 sets of key cards made. Cost to me = time, money, pain and suffering, and ended up feeling at fault and lied to by front desk staff. Over all experience was poor. Ruined my sense of safety and security. Made me worried my key wouldn’t work next time I go out. Made me really suffer about the whole experience especially with customer service telling me they wouldn’t be comping a night because my kid supposedly locked the door. Which he did not.

The hotel said they ARE NOT responsible for Expedia photos. So essentially the hotel room you see is NOTHING like the hotel room you get. This place is absolutely filthy with horrible rude staff. Any positive reviews come from those who can afford the most expensive rooms they offer which are decent at best. We paid extra for an upgrade out of necessity because the first room was awful. Second room was a huge disappointment as well but hey the view was nice

Great value and location in Laguna Beach

You can't beat the location, the price and SoCal beach vibes this property offers. It's what a beach hotel should be. Clean, convenient, charming and functional. We really appreciated our small kitchenette, large spacious room, ocean view and incredible walkable location to all the beaches, restaurants and shops without being in the middle of the chaos. Far enough away from main beach, but not too far.

Some rooms not great

We booked a standard room. Unfortunately, some of the standard rooms are better than others. We were on the first floor behind the pool, a walkway and lots of pillars so it felt like we were in a dungeon and weren't able to keep the curtains open without being in full view of anyone walking by. The curtains were also too long so we had to prop them up so they didn't block the air conditioner which was already barely adequate. The bathroom was cramped and did not have a place for toiletries or a place to keep towels accessible. The dresser had a broken drawer and the room was generally dated and needed some improvements. The valet parking was a nightmare and far too expensive. Check in went well but checkout took forever and they did not provide the promised receipt. The location was convenient but I've stayed in far better places in Laguna.

Because we booked through Expedia we were given a very crappy room. Keys didn’t work after multiple key cards were issued. Phone didn’t work so we couldn’t call front desk. Curtain covered the air conditioner. We complained and were moved. Manager didn’t want to talk to me about it. Only one of three front desk people seemed to care. Will never stay there again. Every thing is worn out and needs to be replaced. Bulldoze the place and start over. Only positive were the people at the valet parking.
