Top Soka University of America Hotel Reviews

The Mara Laguna Beach an AvantStay Hotel

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the Mara. We had a double queen room for my husband and I are our teen son - it was a little on the small side, but it was fine for 2 nights. The rooms are simple - no desk/chair - just the beds, we had 1 ottoman, beverage station and instead of a closet - there was a hanging rack. Bathroom was spacious. Loved the pool area - chairs and towels all well maintained ... and the 4th level offers sitting areas with views of the ocean - very nice. The hotel has nice beach chairs and umbrellas to take to the beach at no charge - that was definitely a nice touch. And also had complimentary croissants and other breakfast pastries each morning & free coffee in the lobby - another nice touch. We did have an unfortunate plumbing issue on our last morning but the hotel was amazing about it and more than accommodating - went above and beyond to take care of the issue and us. Also loved the location - in walking distance to loads of restaurants and shops. Overall, a nice stay but I'd probably see about a larger room if we ever return."

Casa Loma Beach Hotel (formerly The Inn at Laguna Beach)

10/10 Excellent

"Super cute hotel in Laguna for the weekend. Staff and amenities were top notch. Will definitely stay here again when I’m in the area. I won’t even look at other places!"

14 West Hotel

8/10 Good

"The older style of this boutique hotel and rooms around the courtyard were charming and cute. The grounds are lovely and the location is perfect!! The rooms themselves need new carpeting badly and a few touch ups to paint and wallpaper. The beds were comfy, but our TV didn’t work the first night. They did fix quickly once informed. This is our 2nd stay here and we’re probably lifers when we come to Laguna, but room upgrades on the older part of the hotel would be great!! Always a great value though!!"

Laguna Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious rooms with comfortable beds and great towels and amenities. Loved Happy Hour and the Chocolate Chip cookies were delicious. Great staff, very accommodating. Would definitely recommend."

Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo Laguna Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Will stay here again for sure! Very clean, very inviting, great staff, walkable, great gym and very easy to use free laundry facilities."

Casa Laguna Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Room was very small and no where for luggage but it was very cute and very quaint. I'd stay again but get a bigger room."

Surf & Sand Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, great views, good staff, great location, easy parking. Everything was great but we got unlucky it rained the whole day we were there. The restaurant was alright I expected better food but overall great experience."

The Ranch at Laguna Beach

8/10 Good

"Na"

Blessing Cottage: A Vintage Cottage 2 blocks from the beach

10/10 Excellent

"Lost track but think this was our 8th stay at Blessings Cottage. It’s exactly a described. Perfect location to walk to shops, downtown, restaurants, and the beach 2 blocks away; beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, cooler provided. Short drive to Crystal Cove-Newport Beach for lunch or hiking. Walk to Las Brisas for happy hour; good drinks and food - gorgeous view. Beautiful back patio to enjoy take out or everything you need to cook at the cottage. Excellent host, very clean, casual and comfy. Washer/dryer is a bonus. It is on a somewhat busy street, but quiet at night. We’ll be back..again!"
