Spoke with Paul on the phone. Mentioned the two poor reviews listed here. Simply said it is not only a bargain, it is an unpretentious , clean (very clean!), beachy, hip, no frills, pace to stay! It was our anniversary, and the owners also own Picayo's restaurant. We took a room and made dinner reservations! Home run for both experiences. Most helpful and informative staff for things to see and do as well! Stay here! Tim and Kay

to put it simply the room is cheap and so is the bed and pillows but if you dont care about a good night sleep its ok

Finding the "Art Hotel" was an accident-Staying there was a vacation treat. Besides the immaculate room, the pleasant comfortable atmosphere, the close, easy walk to a dynamite little beach, the free trolley right out the door and the reasonable rates, the owners/managers, Gail & John are just a delight. Both are so helpful & ...

My nieces and I had a wonderful time staying at the Art Hotel! Gail was so very helpful with everything! She suggested activities for us, helped us arrange for transportation, guaranteed parking for my nephew and his family who came from Temecula for a day's visit, provided a continental breakfast and was just always kind and welcoming. I would definitely go back there and stay!

My sister and I are remodeling my mom's condo in Laguna Woods and we stayed here for 3 weeks in March-April 2008.

As a business traveler I am always looking for quality hotels that meet my company's budget, provide business grade wireless Internet service with VPN support and meets my families needs. John and his staff go out of their way to serve and over deliver recently adding high speed wireless service that "really works," and its free to ...

What a great experience. Management was wonderful. Very accommodating, helpful and very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is located only one block from a very nice small stretch of beach. What a great place to relax. No crowds on the beach during the Labor day weekend when we were there. What a nice change of pace. The hotel ...

I just spent a week in the Best Inn in Laguna Beach, California, with five of my best friends. We went primarily to see the Pageant of the Masters but also had a wonderful time exploring the area. There was a free trolley 1/2 block from the hotel that would take us almost anywhere we wanted to go.

John, the manager/owner was just delightful! ...

I would just like to say that we had an awesome stay at this hotel. I was there for a bachlorette party and the hotel manager was super accommadating to us. Everything we asked for was taken care of immediately. The group that I was with was 8 21-23 year old females and not one time were we treated any different than the other hotel guests. I ...
