What guests think

At Pacific Edge Hotel, guests consistently praise the unbeatable beachfront location and ocean views, while noting that many rooms and facilities feel dated, maintenance is inconsistent, and fees like mandatory valet parking can add up unexpectedly.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and accommodating, but service can be uneven with slow follow-ups, key-card problems, and occasional disagreements at the desk. Cleanliness and upkeep are mixed, with recurring reports of worn interiors, stained carpets, musty smells, and occasional pests, alongside some clean rooms. While noise from thin walls, delivery trucks, and events bothers some, the onsite restaurants draw consistent praise. Overall, expect stellar beach access and views, with variable room quality.

The hotel was nice though old. The bed was very comfortable and the restaurant on site was very good. There is also a great taco shop right next door. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I would love to go back. Easy access to the beach, but lots of stairs and very few elevators.

We really like the view, that’s the best part and the reason we stay there. We were shocked by the $45 a night forced valet parking. It’s off season and there is a ton of parking available. We never had forced valet before, so that wasn’t something we expected and put a small damper on the trip.

Air conditioner in my room was screaming loud. They sent someone down to fix it who did get it half as loud but it was still really loud. Came back from my job to find my room door open. Cleaners didn't close the door properly but it didn't close right so I don't blame them. Luckily nothing was missing. hand rail going up to the room were rusted through. 45 dollar a day valet only parking bothered me as well. Never a good surprise. View was incredible from my room.

The room smelled very old, and was outdated, there were short black male curly hairs everywhere on the floor, the bathroom walls had splashes of liquids everywhere, it felt like a cheap motel room on the side of the highway. I did not book a beach front room, so I did not expect beach front. The beach front rooms may be better but the regular rooms were 0/10. Will never book here again. In addition, early checkin would have been 50$ (i was an hour early), and I was not able to park my car until after I checked in otherwise they would charge 16$ extra (car park was already $45 and I parked 4PM-8AM). So I paid for street parking and went somewhere else for the day. I paid a lot less for other hotels that were a LOT nicer! The only thing that was really good was the restaurant, which was absolutely fabulous. Overall, don't stay here and book literally ANY other hotel. But definitely check out the restaurant. The pictures literally look NOTHING like the room i stayed in.

This was the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. There was mold on the bathroom wall, a piece of the wall that was open to the plumbing in the shower was also open to the garage below. The toilet overflowed without anything except fluid in it, the water went all over the bathroom floor. They did send someone to fix it, but maybe that’s a usual occurrence which would explain the mold on the wall. DO NOT believe the photos on the website. It is clearly false advertising. And if I wanted to be very proactive I could have called the health department to report them (which I didn’t). I alerted the hotel staff to my concerns and they were very considerate but there wasn’t much they could do. They sent me a bottle of wine and removed the resort fee from my bill. They did offer me a different room and I should have moved but I was away from the property so it would have meant coming back to move my bags. They didn’t offer to move them for me, and quite frankly I was concerned that they would just put another unsuspecting guest in the room so I resigned myself to staying there.

Room is incredibly rundown. No screen on the bathroom window. Patches on the walls in the bathroom that are so messy and old and no paint over them. Wi-Fi was terrible. We could barely use it. For 530 a night plus a resort fee I feel like I got ripped off. They offered to move us the second night, but we were already impact and did not want to have to deal with packing things up and moving to another room. We came out for an event on Friday night and did not have time to deal with the terrible room that we had so we could make our event.

We booked a standard room. Unfortunately, some of the standard rooms are better than others. We were on the first floor behind the pool, a walkway and lots of pillars so it felt like we were in a dungeon and weren't able to keep the curtains open without being in full view of anyone walking by. The curtains were also too long so we had to prop them up so they didn't block the air conditioner which was already barely adequate. The bathroom was cramped and did not have a place for toiletries or a place to keep towels accessible. The dresser had a broken drawer and the room was generally dated and needed some improvements. The valet parking was a nightmare and far too expensive. Check in went well but checkout took forever and they did not provide the promised receipt. The location was convenient but I've stayed in far better places in Laguna.

The sound of air conditioners from surrounding buildings was very overpowering. All in all it felt very over priced. The only upside was that it was roomy and close to downtown

Because we booked through Expedia we were given a very crappy room. Keys didn’t work after multiple key cards were issued. Phone didn’t work so we couldn’t call front desk. Curtain covered the air conditioner. We complained and were moved. Manager didn’t want to talk to me about it. Only one of three front desk people seemed to care. Will never stay there again. Every thing is worn out and needs to be replaced. Bulldoze the place and start over. Only positive were the people at the valet parking.

This is a difficult review to leave because we have stayed at Pacific Edge a few times, and it’s a beautiful oceanfront property, which is where I want to be! But we had a terrible experience on this visit because we had extremely rude and thoughtless guests in the room next to ours. At 6:20am, they were playing VERY loud music, singing, drinking and smoking weed… all things I wouldn’t object to at a normal time of day. I called the front desk, they only made one call to the room, which only resulted in a brief moment of quiet. Because of the way the balconies/rooms, that are oceanfront, are designed, if you have a situation like this, it’s going to be a problem because they are very close to each other. I wish the front desk would have sent someone to the room to handle the situation. We’re pretty sure there were more than the average number of guests staying in the room. Ruined our visit!! So just know, if you have crummy guests in rooms around you, it won’t be a pleasant stay!!!

This place is a scam. Trust me when I tell you not to stay here. They tell you that Expedia is at fault and they blame them, but that is not true. I spoke to Expedia, and they said the pictures came from the property. The worst part about this is that the management knows exactly what they are doing. They have two buildings: one building with a view that you have to pay double the price for, and the other building with the pictures I attached is considered an ocean view. I spoke to two people, and they both hung up the phone without offering any solution. I highly suggest that you pick any other hotel. It's the saddest thing this was my mother's 75th birthday.

My arrival was perfect, and the gentleman who checked me in was exceedingly kind. However, since the telephone was not functioning and the hotel wished to send someone to my room to repair it, I politely declined out of consideration for my family's comfort. Shouldve worked upon arrival. We had breakfast at the Deck and requested a slightly later checkout time, but the hotel refused due to noise complaints. They should have come to my room to inform me, considering my phone was not working.. My family and I hurried back to our room, aware that we had 30 minutes until checkout. To our surprise, we found our keys had been locked. Went to the front desk, staff treated my family like hoodlums, and even yelled at my kids just because they were vocal about us still having time to check out. They checked me out and charged my card before I requested it, even though I still had time. We waited almost 30 minutes to return to our room to collect our belongings. The front desk attendant, after giving me another key, threatened to charge me for another night if we weren't out within 15 minutes, causing us significant stress. Because I had my children with me, I had to hurry, as we needed to go home to prepare for our vacation later that night. I am a busy travel nurse, which explains the delay in leaving this review, which I will also post on other platforms.

With a balcony room literally over the waves, we could not have asked for a better view. The room was spacious and comfortable. The two restaurants on site served delicious food and the staff were friendly and professional. The half-mile walk to downtown and the Pageant of the Master's site were easy to negotiate. Just a few bumps in the stay. The phone and bathroom fan did not work (neither were deal breakers). The air conditioning unit next door is mounted on our balcony and was rather loud. (Similarly, our unit's AC was probably very loud for our next door neighbors.) The one sticky issue was amenities on the beach. Since it is first come, first severed, we went down early to set up our lounge chairs and umbrellas. Since it was still overcast, we went back to our room to wait for the weather and when we return to our chairs, someone had taken them. There was not way to indicate that they were reserved. I hope Pacific Edge sees this and sets up a better system. For future stays we will make sure to leave some person items so there is an indication we are returning. Overall, a very nice stay.

Right on the sand, you walk to restaurants and shops, and play at the beach all day. Wonderful. A solid room service option would be awesome. We tried to order food but no one ever answered the phone. I paid extra for a balcony overlooking the ocean. It was a walkway that the led to the corner room, so no privacy or chair to sit. Not an actually balcony. A coffee shop close by would be awesome.

Replace the the warped baseboards. The pool and Spa are in dire need of re-plastering. Otherwise, pay the extra and get an Oceanfront Room! The views are breathtaking. The Front Desk Staff is very courteous and the Maids were very attentive. The staff at the Driftwood Restaurant were also terrific. IMHO, the good outweighs the not-so-good...but, with the right touches, this place could give the Surf and Sand a run for the money!
