Ocean view? What ocean?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/1/07
Be very wary of this place! We splurged and booked a room with an ocean view. What a rip off! The only way to see the ocean--no exaggeration--was to stand on the bed! Otherwise our ocean view room had a view of the roof building in front of us! When I complained, my room rate was promptly dropped $100. Ok, so no ocean view, but I could still fall asleep at night to the sound of the waves. Wrong again! There is a bar a few doors down from the hotel that was playing loud music until late at night. That was all that we could hear--no lull of ocean waves. The other reviews sum up our other experiences as well--run down, musty smelling, most of the lights in our room didn't work... Also, there was no fan in room and it got very hot in there. No clock either--no way to tell what time it was in the morning. For the price we paid, even with the lowered rate, this place was not worth it! We were in Laguna Beach for the Pageant of the Masters. Next time we go to the show, we will stay in a nearby town for lower rates and better accomodations.
