Laguna Surf Lodge

Amazing location, we stayed in the king room with balcony + patio. Close to a lot of great food places, Ralph’s was down the street, friendly staff! Remodeling was not loud at all, one thing was we got charged for amenities the day we left even though we never used them. I think this should only be charged if it’s used, hopefully this is something that can be adjusted in the future. We will be back!

My favorite place in Southern California! Love love love this location, the view, the beach access and walkable to everything in Laguna. Been coming since 2017 and seen this place improve so much! Piece of Paradise on Earth!

Hi My family has been staying at Laguna Riviera since 1979. We absolutely love everything about it. (We are the DERISO family)
We can’t wait to see you the week of the 16th in April. My mom and I always stay in 302 and my brother and his wife always like 508. We are so excited to see the remodeled rooms. I spoke to John the other night when I made our reservation. He was telling me all the remodel and the changes. John was the best in helping me with all of my questions. He was efficient, very friendly and professional. He was also very funny. 😄 Not sure if we have met him before but are very much looking forward to meeting John.
We gave dealt with Juanita many times and she also is terrific. We are looking forward to our 4 days in paradise in a few weeks! See you soon.

Update.
We returned yesterday from our 4 day stay.
As always it went way too fast.
We stayed in a brand new remodeled room. (303). It is so beautiful. Yes the hotel is under construction and was a bit noisy at times but with that being said we were told that when making the reservation. The entire staff was so apologetic and accommodating regarding construction.
Speaking about the staff. Oh my goodness we felt like we were important people. ANYTHING we asked for was done immediately and staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay wonderful. Thank you so much to everyone! I know I will forget some but special shout out to Danielle,Makayla,Kyle,Juanita,The 2 Valet guys. I can’t remember there names and another frontdesk guy I can’t remember his name. Housekeeping, Construction crew we thank you so so much! Our stay was great. We can’t wait to return when all of the construction is done and see the finished Hotel. Thank you again everyone!
The DeRiso family!

We had a perfect last minute getaway here. The staff was super friendly and helpful with minor things that came up, as well as recommendations for around town. Sunset is absolutely stunning from just about anywhere on the property! We also really enjoyed spending our evening in the enclosed heated pool and Jacuzzi; floating around watching the hanging plants sway above you with palms swaying along in the background was a definite vibe. I loved how plush and green everything is here.

The property itself is quite unique, the angled balcony rails had my hubby singing the LoveBoat theme song every time we walked back up from the beach. I think it's adorable. They are currently undergoing a renovation but the room we were in has clearly not yet been redone. The minor maintenance issues we had I'm sure will be addressed as they update each room, but it was clean and comfortable which is all I really need. Bed was comfortable, water pressure was good and we did not experience any construction noise the night/morning we were there.

Almost everything you need is within walking distance: coffee shop and grocery is one block, yummy Mexican food is 2 blocks, multiple bars and restaurants within 4 blocks. The Laguna Beach trolley runs all along highway 1 from downtown all the way to Salt Creek with a stop directly in front of the property, so you have easy access to any beach or cove you'd like to explore. Take advantage of the parking you're already paying for here.

We are looking forward to our next stay here and would recommend it to friends.

Love this place! The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The room was more like our own apartment with all of our needs exceeded. We spent more time at our place than we ever have before, having a beautiful view of the beach, ocean, and sunsets. We easily walked to many of our destinations and took the trolley to others. Beautiful location, beautiful place, great staff. Highly recommend!

Very nice place to stay. You can see and hear the ocean from most rooms. We had a balcony and a little sun room. The sun room was painted very nice and helped to dry wet clothes. There were two chairs on the balcony with two chaise lounge chairs also available.
The room was nice with a queen bed and plenty of pillows. The room also has a ceiling fan with light, plus there is heater for the cooler season.
Bathroom is a nice size with a decent size corner shower. They don't have sample size soap, shampoo, conditioner, or lotion, but full size containers of all. There stuff smells great.
They are currently doing room improvements (October 2022), so I would expect prices to go up a bit next time we come down.
Another plus is they are located a block from The Orange Inn, so morning coffee, breakfast and lunch are not far.
Overall, a great place to stay when visiting Laguna Beach!

Laguna Beach is our go to destination when we want to get out of town for a night and listen to the surf. It has many hotels that serve our needs. Most have become prohibitively expensive. The good news is that Laguna Riviera is still affordable and is the best value with the best views currently available. Hopefully this will remain true when their current renovations are completed.
We had the best of rooms and the best of views, and that is why we go.
The staff were great, from the valets to the desk staff. All did their part to make us feel welcome.
They are, at this time, renovating the property, it did not disturb us, but it is ongoing and we were only there for the night.
Unless the price goes crazy, I will be back.

Celebrated my birthday from an ocean view room. Staff was welcoming and efficient, bed was comfortable, the room had a heater. Newly redecorated. They have a saltwater pool and a sauna. I love falling asleep to the sound of waves. This place is from 1948, vintage style, no elevator. Try to get a room near parking level if walking can be an issue.
