I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice, clean, and well-appointed, feeling almost like a studio apartment, although a better fridge or kitchenette would have been a bonus. The service was exceptional, with a special shoutout to Lauren at the front desk for going above and beyond. The location, nestled in a beautiful canyon, was breathtaking, but I wish it had been tidier upon arrival and that the closure of certain areas had been communicated better. Dining options were good overall, but the experience with Tuscan bread was a letdown.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were excellent for a family of 5, very clean, cozy, and conveniently located next to each other. They were well appointed and spacious. The service was fantastic, with the staff going out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The location was nice, close to Laguna Beach and the Montage resort, with beautiful surroundings. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with some meals not up to par. Overall, a great spot with friendly service and a few dining letdowns.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were charming and full of character, although a bit noisy due to the parking lot traffic. The service was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The location was stunning, surrounded by mountains and offering easy access to the beach. The dining experience was delicious and accompanied by a majestic view. However, there are areas that could be improved for kids' experiences and some minor inconvenience with the sofa bed.

I must say that my stay at this hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were beautifully designed with a rustic modern decor, definitely a work of art, and very cozy. However, the lack of proper curtains to keep out the bright sun made it a bit challenging to sleep in. On the bright side, the hotel's location offers an idyllic mix of remote tranquility and the vibrant energy of Laguna Beach.

The rooms were very clean and cozy, a true work of art with their beautifully designed rustic modern decor. The lack of curtains to drown out the sun was a small inconvenience but didn't overshadow the overall comfort.

The staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly, making our stay pleasant. However, the service at the restaurant left something to be desired with difficulties in accommodating guests. On the positive side, the staff ensured outdoor seating was socially distant and adhered to safety measures.

Location

The hotel is wonderfully located, representing the past and present of the area. While it may lack privacy due to its layout, the proximity to Laguna Beach and the Pacific Coast Highway is a major plus, providing easy access to all the attractions.

The dining experience, specifically at the beachside restaurant, was a letdown with limited options and some issues. The Swiss cheese was a highlight, but overall, there is room for improvement.

The hotel facilities offer various conveniences such as car hire, laundry, and shuttle services. However, the absence of animals on the ranch premises might have been disappointing for those expecting a more authentic ranch experience.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were so comfortable and nicely decorated to fit the beach atmosphere, and I even got treated to 2 complimentary drinks while waiting. The service, from the valet to the housekeepers, was fantastic. A special shout out to Lauren on the front desk who really went above and beyond to help me out. The location had great beach access, which was perfect for enjoying lazy days by the ocean, but the area felt a little crowded and lacking in privacy at times. Overall, a wonderful experience filled with great memories.
