"Location is great and the size of the room and bathroom were great but the actual condition of the room was old and there were suff and pencil marks on the walls. Our room was not ready until 3:30pm and in general "old" but location was worth all that!!!!!!!!!!"

"An older hotel - not your 5-star, but a great deal. Clean, close to the beach, friendly staff, great location. We'll definitely come back."

"My husband and I chose this hotel mainly for the location. Our room was ocean front and we had our own private balcony. Upon arriving at the hotel, the lady at the front desk (who was very nice by the way) tried giving us a room that shared a deck with about 4 other rooms. Since we were on our honeymoon, I asked if it was possible for us to get a room with a private deck, after all, we were paying good money to stay there. If you are planning on going to this hotel for a romantic get away, I would suggest making it very clear that you want a private balcony before they put you in a room that shares a balcony with a bunch of screaming kids"

"For the Price of the rooms, the rooms weren't that nice. Kind of an older model hotel room. Towels were very hard. Was hard to find a parking spot and they charged you for parking. Other then that, everything else was great."

"We had a room facing the street, on the 2nd floor, it was very clean, well kept, and the bedspillows were fabulous. The staff was alway friendly and the location was perfect---on the beach."

"The best thing I can say is that you get what you pay for. You are paying a lot for location but less than other hotels in Laguna Beach - all for a reason. Please understand this is a 2.5 star hotel, not 3, or even 4. If you keep that in mind, you'll be very happy with the large comfortable rooms, the great bed, and the outstanding location. The bed really was great and there was some simple artcolor in the room that made it a tad bit less hotel-feeling. We made sure to get a beach front room - that doesn't mean you can walk out on the beach, it means you have an amazing view of the ocean and you can hear the crashing waves at night. The beach isn't much in front of the hotel, but a short walk down and you'll find plenty of sand. Also, the balconies overlap and you'll find yourselves feet from your neighbors in plain view. That would probably bother some, so be prepared. It's not a big deal and the trade off is that instead of dividers between the balconies for pricy that would limit your ocean view, you have a huge panoramic view. That means you can see far and wide from inside your room, and more outside on the balcony. Again, it's a 2.5 star hotel so someone with high expectations in general or based on what they paid should be warned. Little things like the back of the AC for the room next door is connected to your balcony. Meaning if they use it (they shouldn't, but our neighbors did), you'll hear it drone on. A little annoying, but it shouldn't get you down - it's a hotel, and it's 2.5 stars. Besides potential views for a beach front room, every room is ideal because the free L.B. shuttle stops right in front of the hotel, you can walk down the beach forever, you can walk to all the great stores and galleries and restaurants, and you can park (it's $12 a day, but you'd pay the same in L.B. for the day). So be patient, understand what you are getting, and enjoy all the good things about Laguna Beach from a really nice and convenient hotel."

"location location location ? three times the price it should be."

"As places meant to make your beach visit fun and memorable go, TPE does a credible, if not fantastic job. It's very convenient for downtown Laguna, and at least part of the property fronts a shorebreak with a sandy bottom. It's not large on atmosphere, but you'll get a comfy bed and serviceable -- if not completely private-feeling -- balcony, stuff in the room that works and enough lighting easily enough accessed to serve its intended function as solid background for a sunbathing holiday. There's a restaurant in the grounds, as well as a pool, though the latter isn't very fun because it's overheated. The service is polite but not enthusiastic (I had to gently keep asking for more help each step of the way in a small but significant matter to keep my helper from abandoning me to go back to the front desk, even though she had a partner she knew would be able to stay there). Last but not least, this place skimps a little on easily providable conveniences -- there's no ATM on-site, for instance, assumedly because they figure (as they told me) these are so readily available in the immediate vicinity. In short, TPE is OK if all you want is a quick beach stint, just don't go looking for character, or too much in the way of high class. In other words, it's a hotel, not a resort. Keep that in mind, get your best price deal, and TPE will almost certainly fulfil your needs and expectations."

"The hotel was OK, beach was VERY close, less than 30ft from room. If your looking just for the beach GREAT hotel. If your looking for comfortluxury look someplace else."

"The hotel is located right on the water and is very modernized. The rooms were a bit small, but the bed and the pillows made up for it. There are several local resturants and stores located within walking distance...you will not get bored. They had two heated pools available and a hot tub. The downside is that we had to pay for parking! We got a view and paid very little for it. We would love to come back and stay our whole vacation here next time we go back."

"Will definitely stay there again. Nice variety of rooms and rates, making a beachfront stay affordable. There's nothing like having the sound of the ocean to fall asleep to."

"Do not go for the cheapest rooms. You hear road noise and they are rather small. We upgraded and had a pleasent time."

"The bathroom unbelievably small - faucet in showertub had stripped threads so temperature of water did not adjust easily. No air circulating in bedroom part of the room. Noisy location - actually like sleeping on a busy alley where the garbage trucks drive through. Oh yes - that is what happened. Neighbors played drums, had a bunch of screaming kids and young adults who also did not know how to use their "inside voices." But that was okay because power tools being used for renovation work started up outside our room early on Friday and Saturday mornings. We could not wait to get out of this place."

"The hotel location was great. Staff was wonderful. The room was clean, not facy or up to date, but clean. It was VERY VERY noisey. We were street side, across from a late night sushi restaurant. It got quite loud around the 1am hour. Traffic noise was prevelant too. Otherwise, it served its purpose...a comfortable place to sleep and get ready."

"The hotel location was perfect - right next to the beach and the venue of a wedding we attended. Guest service was excited to let me know they upgraded our room, but when we went to our room, I couldn't find an elevator for that particular bldg. When asked one of the staff, they just smiled and walked away. It left me alittle dumbfounded. We had our 7 month old grandson traveling with us and needed the refrigerator. When I opened the refrigerator there were wires hanging and it was plugged in. The maintenance guys came in and said "oh yeah, we'll get another one". The rolled in another portable refrigerator and plugged it in. The appliances and the bathroom were very outdated, but the bed was very comfortable. My daughter booked their room at the same time and requested 2 Queen beds and they gave them an "upgraded" room with a beautiful view of the ocean, but with one Queen bed. They asked for a roll away bed which was never delivered until the next day. Therefore someone had to sleep on the floor that night. The hotels only compensation was a cheap bottle of wine, they probably bought the grocery store across the street. The hotel was a disappointment for the price, but the location was perfect."

"Stayed in a street-front room. Those rooms are close to the highway so if traffic noise bothers you try to get an inner room. Room was clean but small. Excellent location within walking distance of park, shopping and restaurants. Very limited parking and I was surprised when I checked out that they charge $12day plus tax to park. This is not included in your room prepayment. Hotel is dated and could use a remodelupgrade, although the overall upkeep is good. For this place it is all about location, and you cannot get a better location than this."

"I was recommended this hotel being that a friend was getting married at this location and I needed somewhere CLOSE because I was doing the hair and make-up for the wedding. I read the reviews and weighed out the good and bad, I figured I'd take a shot being it was convenient to my needs. We arrived and I went to check-in, first off my reservation was wrong and they proceeded to do NOTHING about it. They told me they where going to give me a hid abed free of charge since they were unable to place us in the CORRECT room. Second, we checked into our room and proceeded to get ready being that we have prior engagements later that evening. As we where getting ready I figured I'd call and ask them to have someone bring up the bed before we leave for the night. That way when we return to our room later that night we wouldn't have to worry about it. Upon our arrival, we realized the bed was no where to be found. I called and demanded to have someone bring us a bed or else someone would be sleeping on the floor. The gentleman proceeded to tell me it was out of his hands being that the managers had left for the night and they hold the key to all extra storage. So the next morning I went up the guest services and complained, they apologizes and said, "We are very sorry about this and we will send you a basket of something to your room." Later in the evening, all was sent was a CHEAP bottle of wine and No compensation. In the END, I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend this hotel being that they serve very bad costumer service. The view was nice but in no way would I ever go back again!"

"We paid the extra money to have a view of the ocean. SOOO worth it! The view could not have been more perfect. Nothing between us and the beachwater. If you want to go down to the beach, it is about a 30 yard walk from your room door. They provide beach lounge chairs and large umbrellas for you. We will be staying here probably onceyear for the forseeable future. We went for a romantic getaway, and we walked everywhere, because everything was so close. Shopping, lunch, dinner, beach, Starbucks, art galleries, bars, bookstores. A large HEATED pool and spa, game room for the kids with air hockey etc. Perfect for family or romantic getaway. Room was not the nicest room every, but was very clean, had a good size fridge, stove, microwave, and a magnificent view. If you are very picky about having a NICE beautiful room, don't stay here. If you want the beach proximity and view and a great location, it doesn't get better than this."

"The location is great, they cleaned up the rooms and have better beds. Still kind of a run down beach hotel, but for LB and the price, it was good."

"It's a Motel thats been partially upgraded. The regular rooms are tiny but I think the suites look nice size. The beds linens wall art are better than average but there is still a motel feel about the place, though I get the impression they are working hard at fixing that. If you have a room at all close to the larger poolgame room area, or the soda ice machines - you better not want quiet or peace because you will not get it. These areas all noisy all night long, have a lot of foot traffic and loud guests. They have a nice patio area on the beachfront as well as lovely beach access and they hotel staff is very nice and helpful. I secured a room for half price thru Hotels.com which was good however, I'd have really felt ripped-off if I had paid full price for the small non-view room. I think that they are really trying so I give them credit for that."

"Stayed there back in the late 1980's and was satisfied with the acommodations. Decided to stay again and for the price, it was a good value. The room was clean, although it could use some attention to details. Overall, for what other hotels were asking, for Laguna Beach on the water, it's worth it."

"We had the ocean front room so the view was amazing. The staff was great. The rooms can use a bit of work. Considering other local hotels and the price point, I will not revisit the Pacific Edge."

"My two teenage daughters and I stayed a couple nights during Spring Break and loved the hotel. We stayed in room 71 which is on the 3rd floor on the end over looking the pool. To our surprise we also got an ocean view towards main beach out of a small window. The sound of the crashing waves at night was amazing. This hotel is right on the sand with umbrellas and lounge chairs for everyone. We were just the right walking distance from town as well as the other small beaches to the south. All three of us highly recommend this hotel to others."

"The room was very nice until we had an unexpected guest. When we sat down on the bed a cockroach made an appearance. It was horrible, but you are right on the beach. Also, the jets didn't work in the jacuzzi, which made the romantic bath a little harder, we had to paddle our feet!"

"The room itself was great, clean and everything. The TV made a hissing noise when turned on, it was very loud. The street bellow has bars across the street so at night until about 1:30am its very loud, difficult to sleep. To get a room on the ocean side you have to pay extra $100 per night."

"When my husband and and our 5 year old first arrived we got the "village" room with double beds. The room was very small and the beds were so small that my husbands feet would have hung over the bottom. He's only 5'10.It was cozy though if you're not very tall. We upgraded to the ocean front room immediately, but I had a feeling we would because the hotel is "literally" right on the beach! The oceanfront room was bigger and MUCH better!!Cute decor,clean,not the Bellagio but what do you expect for a beach resort at this price! The view was fantastic, we could sit out on the balcony and look down at everyone on the beach.The sound of the crashing waves were so wonderful and a great background when you're sleeping.We will definitely come back to this hotel and the water in the shower was HOT, unlike some of the past reviews.We ate at the BeachHouse next door and it was delicious and affordable.Drive a small car though, because the streets and parking are very narrow.Once you get there, you won't need to drive at all. The neighborhood is so cool and eclectic with all of the shops,restaurants and art galleries within walking distance.It's a winner!!"

"The Hotel its self was ok. But, the service of the staff made you feel like you were at a five star resort. Friendly, helpful, kind, anything you want attitude. When you are at the beach you don't need a fantastic room because you are never in it. You remember the staff. I have already suggested this hotel to people I have met. The beds are comfortable and that IS important."

"Surpassed our expectations for our romantic getaway. We walked everywhere and enjoyed lounging on the supplied beach chairs and umbrellas on the private beach. Beautiful setting, great simple no frills rooms. Pool and spa were perfect. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others."

"If you are in the middle like us then this is the hotel for you. We aren't super picky or frou frou and we like the beachy atmosphere, Pacific Edge is the best of both worlds. Staff was super nice and helpful in recommending restaurants. We walked everywhere. The Beachfront restaurant behind the hotel was delicious and the perks of the discounts was even better. We will def. stay at Pacific Edge again and recommend it to friends and family. Worth every penny, attentive staff and great rooms with kitchens, balconies and plenty of room."

"To have a room that doesn't put you over the noisy street, they'll up-charge you, another $80. Even when they have very light occupancy. They have a lot of rooms off the street and overlooking the beautiful ocean, but they want to double your room charge to let you enjoy that experience. That's bad business."

"We had no running hot water in our room. We were offered another room that was comparable, but it was not. We decided to stay in the room we were in and take tepid showers."

"We have stayed at this hotel twice now, and both times, it was a good value for the money, has a great location, and we'd definitely stay there again. It isn't super fancy, but the beach is beautiful, the town is great, and who sits in their room all day anyway? It is clean and has everything you need (pool, jacuzzi, and the ability to walk to beaches, playgrounds, restaurants, shopping, movie theatre, etc.)."

"I stayed here for 10 days. I didn't get ocean view or ocean front, but for me it made no difference. Easy parking, awsome location. It is not your 4 star hotel, but that's not what I was looking for. Basically, really enjoyed my stay."

"The hotel was right on the beach and just a few blocks from downtown Laguna!"

"You can't beat the location and the room was very clean. Only problem was the heater in our room was not warm enough, so the hotel provided us with a space heater. We would have been upgraded, but they were all booked..."
