My husband and I, plus another couple stayed here for 2 nights in May. What a great find! We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very friendly and the rooms are great! We got a deluxe room I think, and it was huge and beautifully decorated! We loved the area and wished we had more time to spend... more

We stayed at this property shortly after renovation a little over a year ago. Unlike some properties, this one has improved with age and rooms still seem brand new. The decor is equivalent to a Fairmont hotel, but in a renovated motel style building surrounding a clean pool and hot-tub patio. There is plenty of parking below the building and... more

My daughter and I are in Laguna Beach for spring break. We were very pleased with the hotel when we arrived, an above average motel. The rooms are modern and very clean, the continental breakfast is adequate. The pool is small, but nice. The property is very well kept up. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a wedding to go to in Laguna this past weekend and didnt want to spend alot of money on the room. After doing much research and reading many reviews we decided on the By the Sea Inn. I hate to say it, but I am quiet the hotel snob, and was greatly concerned about staying at a motel.... more

Very nice place, good customer service. Do not book ocean view room. It is overpriced and all you see is other rooftops, not worth the extra money, rooms are very nicely remodeled with modern furniture and flat panel TV on the wall. more
