I had a lovely stay at Holiday Inn Laguna Beach. the location is fantastic, just a quick walk to the beautiful beach. The staff was incredibly friendly and always accommodating, which made a positive impact. However, my room felt a bit dark and cramped, especially being next to the dumpster; I didn't love that aspect. Overall, it was a great visit, and I appreciated the convenient amenities.

I had a great stay at Holiday Inn Laguna Beach! The suite I shared with my friends was spacious and felt super cozy, just like a grandparent's home. Being so close to the beach was a huge plus, and there were plenty of great spots for breakfast nearby. On the downside, the WiFi didn't quite reach the bathroom. Overall, I had an awesome weekend and can't wait to visit again!

My stay at Holiday Inn Laguna Beach was a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic, just a block from the less-crowded beach and near shops, my room left much to be desired. The decor felt dated, and I struggled with a stuffy atmosphere due to the lack of opening windows. Overall, it was a decent price for the area but lacked some essential comforts.
