I've stayed at La Casa del Camino several times for the past five years, and it's become one of my happy places in Laguna Beach. The hotel has a unique charm, and its location just steps from the beach is hard to beat. I especially enjoy the rooftop restaurant, where the ocean views are stunning, particularly at sunset. It's the perfect spot to unwind after a day by the water, and even a short stay feels like a getaway. What truly sets this place apart is the management and staff. They're consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, making guests feel appreciated and cared for. If you're looking for a cozy beachfront hotel with beautiful views, a great rooftop experience with delicious food, and exceptional hospitality, I highly recommend La Casa del Camino. I sleep better there than I do at home. It's the kind of place that has you planning your next visit before you check out. Jim, Spencer and Steven are so great!! 10/10 every time read more

From the moment you step into the hotel you are greeted by a warm hospitality staff, who is ready to answer your questions, check you in and provide some helpful recommendations for getting around Laguna Beach. This hotel is a handful of steps from the most perfect beachfront where a day of play in the sand with little ones is as picturesque as any Pacific Ocean view can get. Don't forget to make a reservation or go up early to one of the hotel's restaurants where a delightful menu will satisfy your culinary cravings. Last but not least, nothing beats a beautiful view of blue ocean waves as you turn down for the night. The rooms are modern and designed with just the right touch of coastal chic. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this hotel. During my stay, my vehicle was damaged while parked in the hotel's parking lot. When I reported the incident, I expected at least a professional investigation and clear communication. Unfortunately, neither was provided. The most frustrating part was the lack of communication from hotel management. I had to follow up seven separate times before receiving any meaningful response regarding my claim. Even then, the information I received was inconsistent and contradictory. One hotel associate told me that security cameras were being reviewed, while another later informed me that there are no cameras in the parking lot at all. This lack of coordination and transparency made an already stressful situation even worse. When the hotel finally responded, they pointed to a limited liability disclaimer allegedly printed on the parking placard. However, the placard I was given was already torn when I received it, and I was never asked to read, acknowledge, or sign anything related to parking liability. Using a damaged placard as evidence that guests were properly informed feels misleading and raises serious concerns about how these policies are communicated. While I understand that hotels may have policies limiting liability, I expected better security measures, more professional communication, and a genuine effort to assist a guest whose property was damaged on-site. Instead, I encountered delays, conflicting information, and a complete lack of accountability. Based on this experience, I would strongly encourage future guests to exercise caution when parking here and to carefully document the condition of their vehicle and any parking materials they receive. The hotel's handling of this situation has left me with little confidence in its commitment to guest service and customer care. read more

This adorable boutique style hotel, literally steps from the beach, is the best. Nathan went over and beyond when we arrived and found out The Rooftop restaurant was closed for a private event and it was my birthday. He had chocolates and a birthday card sent to the room. So sweet. We didn't get to spend any time on the beach because of Hurricane Marie, but the next day we had an amazing lunch at The Rooftop and watching all the surfers. So much fun. And the skateboard designed room with an ocean view was so cool. Thank you. Oh yeah, the bed and pillows were sooo cushy. read more

Steve our server was awesome and very attentive and charismatic. And the mojitos were spot on. Was on a business meeting with person from Kansas and she loved the service, view and drinks. Up until a Karen showed up demanding to seat by the rail to have an ocean view table and Steve was Super Nice and apologetic advise them that they couldn't change tables because they were reserved. Even though she thru insults Steve kept his cool and was still very apologetic but Karen her new name was not having it. But I wanna thank the restaurant and Steve for the great service and drinks read more

I was very disappointed with my stay. The location was great....just steps from the ocean....which was honestly the only highlight. Thankfully, this was just a staycation to celebrate my birthday, because I don't think I could have tolerated more than one night here. The room was extremely small, to the point where it felt more like camping than staying in a hotel. The air conditioning wasn't working, so I had to sleep with the window open just to stay cool. On top of that, the sink faucet leaked water onto the counter and floor, creating a mess, and the shower pressure was so low that washing my hair properly wasn't even possible. Overall, the condition and comfort of the room did not meet expectations at all. read more

I had a short one night stay here and really enjoyed my time. Just steps from the sand and central to everything you'd want to do for a chill but fun night. The front desk attendant I believe Noah or maybe Aaron (so sorry bad memory) but he was super welcoming and helpful. They also let you borrow beach chairs and umbrellas which was awesome. Thanks Laguna! read more

The main thing to remember when booking here is that you are paying for the location, not the room. Definitely not the room. It is an older hotel and the room we had did reflect that. Pros: The staff were great, the rooftop at sunset was beautiful, and you are steps from the beach. Cons: The number one thing that made it so we won't return is that that when we were there (August) it was hot and humid, however no one had turned on the portable AC in the room before we got there. The room didn't really become bearable until the next morning. read more

Had a great stay with my wife for our baby shower. Huge shout out to nathan who helped make our stay a 5 star stay!

Spiders... Spiders and more spiders!! This is the spot if your looking for a small unkept infested with spiders hotel. I paid good money for a hotel that the sink was not even attached!! There is no parking onsite so there is no ADA. There is a side drop off they use and then parking is down the street in a lot that is first come first serve. I can't imagine eating at this place and the bar on the roof closes early. really dissapointing I was moved to another room at my request after the clerk had to come to the room to get a spider over my door after there was two in my bed...and still more spiders!!! I had to leave and never was compensated in any way!!! after numerous calls to management.. Don't waste your money on this place!!! read more

Lost 3 separate hotel reservations our wedding party had. Now we have multiple people unable to spend the night for our wedding.

Nathan was beyond accommodating to my family and our needs were met tenfold. He cares about his job which i appreciate so much. All of the staff have been helpful and kind. I would love to stay here again next time I'm in the area read more

We love Laguna Beach but this hotel is disappointing. They call our room a suite but putting a twin bed & a full bed in a shabby room decorated like a 12 year olds nautical theme bedroom doesn't make it a suite. The AC is a loud portable machine, the bed is uncomfortable (pillows are good), lighting dim (including in the funky dated bathroom), furniture is tacky & dinged up. Neighbors played loud music late & we had to get up & ask front desk to address it. You can hear loud noises from the rooftop deck. Parking is down the street in an open lot & you have to drag your luggage back & forth through the intersection- the drop off spot seems consistently full & they don't have luggage carts. No coffee pots or other amenities in the room. Thin scratchy towels. You can walk to restaurants & the village which is nice. The lobby is spacious & has a fireplace which is nice. read more

So this place is from 1927, it's charming and has a ton of Spanish character. The staff was nice. It just needs some tlc. The windows didn't work right, the a/c was a massive unit in the middle of the floor, bed was uncomfortable, hot water heater broke, hallway smelled bad. Also, $30 resort fee per night, I never figured out what that was for since there was no pool area or workout room or any lounge area. Rooftop bar was nice. read more

This unfortunately was a very disappointing experience. The hotel over the weekend was $400 a night. Although the people that worked there were excellent. The room was something you would expect at $100.a night 1) The rug in the room was filthy 2) The reading light over the bed did not work and " couldn't be immediately fixed". 3) The overhead light in the bathroom did not work. 4) There was no hot water for over 24 hours 5) Not one shelve in the bath room 6 Windows did not open except for the bathroom which had no screen. All and All a very negative experience for a lot of money. read more

Great experience! The young girl with curly hair (sorry i forgot your name) but she was SO nice and accommodating, went over and beyond for us. Place has so much history, it's old but clean and staff is very friendly. Will definitely go back. read more

Our stay at La Casa Del Camino was wonderful from start to finish. My husband and I have shared some beautiful sunny weekends here, enjoying meeting great people, fantastic service, and unique experiences like the Rooftop Lounge. All the people are so kind. Every interaction felt genuine, welcoming, and focused on making our experience special - mission accomplished!! The Rooftop Lounge is definitely a highlight. Watching the sunset over Laguna Beach with great food and drinks is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. The Patron Margarita tree was so fun at an unbeatable price - four margs served in Patron bottles displayed on a gold tree - perfect for sharing and trying different yummy flavors! The K'ya restaurant is also exceptional. I had a delicious pear martini and we shared yummy appetizers. You truly cannot go wrong with La Casa dining. We are so grateful for the relaxing and vibrant atmosphere, along with the excellent service the hotel provides. The location is perfect - just steps from the beach, cute stores, coffee shops, and many restaurants, making every walk around the area exciting. La Casa Del Camino combines lovely people, a gorgeous atmosphere, exceptional service, delicious food, and one of the best rooftop sunset experiences in Laguna Beach. We can't wait to return with the whole family soon! read more

We weren't staying here @ the quaint La Casa Del Camino but one of my sponsors who helps out with my Pageant endeavors was so we decided to meet for some appetizers & cocktail hour(s) to discuss branding & the up coming pageant festivities. I decided that I would share with them today's photo shoot we did for fun to get their input & I was actually waiting to hear something totally different than the responses I did receive although they still felt it wasn't right for my brand but it made me hold my head higher and y'all I too have insecurities so some of them questions I would have about myself actually were answered today. This Rooftop lounge has beautiful scenery and the staff are fun engaging personable & are very knowledgeable about their menu. I highly recommend that if you want a staycation come check in I guarantee you won't want to check out ! read more

It was one of the best Valentine's Day/Anniversary meals that my wife and I have had in our 39 years of marriage. Giant shrimp cocktail, crispy calamari, ahi poke tacos and Korean short ribs were amazing! Every dish was just fabulous. Jim, the general manager greeted us and guided us upstairs to the rooftop restaurant/bar, which was a very happening place. The views are outstanding and the service was impeccable with the best cocktails menu. The vibe was great. We ended up with the most delicious long, stemmed chocolate covered strawberries. The attention to details in the preparation of the food and drink was perfect and we would highly recommend this place for any occasion. We will definitely be coming back time after time! read more

We just had a great long holiday weekend at La Casa Del Camino.  It's got the California beach vibe we wanted in an authentic historic building on the main road thru Laguna Beach.  Conveniently located just outside the busy main beach area, so it's more relaxing and literally steps from the beach.  Plenty of coffee shops, shopping and restaurants in either direction.  The staff was friendly (shout-out to Rachel & Kayla) and the rooftop restaurant has amazing views and a great selection of food & drinks.  Loved hearing the waves, smelling the sea salt and watching the sunsets.  Can't get back soon enough. read more

Beautiful old school ambiance. I must recommend if you have a large group or family please ask for the "casita" 3 bedrooms 3 bathrooms full kitchen, indoor dinning and alfresco dinning in the private courtyard, sundeck for views and a private parking spot. Comes with beach furniture and a large BBQ. All this is great and fantastic BUT what REALLY sealed the deal was our concierge.... his title is front desk but he really takes customer service to the next level. The absolute perfection of knowledge, sharp whit, and true concern for the customers well being and comfort. I'm speaking of Nathan! Thank you Nathan! You simply crushed it in our book, absolutely love your sharp whit and how much you truly were concerned for our enjoyment of our stay. The roof top bar/eatery has stunning views and yes there is an elevator just ask. We also loved the free trolleys running everywhere, very convenient, park the car and someone else do the driving while enjoying all Laguna Beach has to offer. Again Thank You NATHAN! read more

This charming, older hotel is in the perfect location in Laguna Beach! We booked a queen-sized room; it is definitely small. The room has one small nightstand, the bed, a small desk along one wall and a little armoire. There is a TV on the "far" wall, with a small fridge which was a nice bonus. The bathroom was super tiny. Under the sink, there was a small cabinet that housed a blow dryer; you could put some belongings there as there is zero room for anything in the bathroom, except for maybe a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste. If you stood up from the toilet, you were right at the sink. The tub shower ran along the length of the toilet and sink. One thing that was a little frustrating was you cannot fully open up the bathroom door because it hit the furniture that housed the fridge. There was an AC /fan unit on the floor that worked pretty decently. Thank goodness, because we had it on the whole time to help drown out the sounds of the people above us. The floors were a little thin, and we were on the bottom floor. The place is just steps from a stairway down to the beach (a rocky beach, but there's still a bench for sitting and great views for the sunset.). The lobby is super cute, And a lot of people would sit there and drink coffee, tea or read. You can buy small things in the lobby, or head up to the rooftop bar, which has amazing views (and gets packed by visitors and locals, so make a reservation!), and while they were there, they were having a soft opening for the bistro that they're opening right off the lobby. There is only a curbside to park out while you check in and unload. Parking is free, but is across the street, about a two minute walk. The lot is super tight though; glad we brought our smaller car. I felt that the communication was where this place shines! Everybody was pleasant to work with, and so helpful. They communicated throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well! They had chairs and towels that we could use for the beach (know they are more of a camping style chair, not a beach chair, but still it was one less thing we had to pack). Many places to eat and shop are just a few minutes walk away. Or jump in the car and head down to Main Beach. I like that they are continuing to make this place better! read more

I'm extremely disappointed with my stay. I paid a lot of money expecting a nice room in Laguna Beach, but what I got felt more like a jail cell than a vacation spot. The room was small, dark, and had absolutely no view whatsoever--definitely not what you imagine when booking a place in Laguna. For the price, I expected something comfortable and enjoyable, but this was far from it. It felt closed in and nothing like the photos or the experience you'd hope for in such a beautiful location. Unfortunately, this stay was a huge letdown and not worth the cost at all. read more

I went there on Valentine's Day with my wife and even though it was really busy, the service could not have been better. The food from crispy Calamari, Korean BBQ ribs, giant Shrimp cocktails all were just delicious. Great atmosphere and what a great spot to enjoy a magnificent view of the Ocean at Laguna Beach. I give The Roof Top 100% , go and enjoy this spot. read more

My wife and I checked into the hotel two weeks ago to attend Pageant of the Masters. As soon as we walked in my wife found the bathroom floor covered in water because the bathroom curtain rod was bent. Apparently the cleaning staff had either not bothered to walk into the bathroom or just didn't care to clean it up. The bathroom sink also did not drain very well. Not a great start, but we cleaned up the water and went about our day. When we returned from the Pageant I went upstairs to ask for another blanket. The man behind the desk said he would bring a blanket right down. A half hour later I walked back up and was told that he had forgotten about me and then went to get the blanket. Even with all of that, we were just going to let it go until the following happened. We paid for parking and I was told to go across the street and park in the parking lot. I did just as I was told and parked in that lot, putting the parking pass on my rearview mirror facing outwards. Even though we paid for parking and did what was asked, I still found a bright green warning sticker on one of my windows because the manager didn't bother to look for the parking pass and thought I wasn't supposed to be there. These green stickers are designed to not be easily removeable. At this point I was understandably upset and went back to the hotel and ask the woman behind the desk for something to remove the sticker, only to be told that she has no way to take it off. The manager put the sticker on the driver side passenger window, so it was blocking my ability to see cars in my blind spot, making it dangerous to drive home and find something to get the sticker off. The woman behind the desk did give me the manager's email and I immediately sent him an email when I got home. It has been two weeks and he still has not responded to me with even so much as an apology for our experience there. I will never go back to this hotel and will never recommend it to anyone I know. There aren't many hotels that I would give only 1 star to, but this experience has made this hotel one of them. read more

My wife and I stayed at La Casa Del Camino for our SoCal honeymoon and had the most incredible experience! The staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were warm, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Before arriving, I called ahead to arrange roses, chocolates, coconut water, and a few of my wife's "favorite things" to be in the room as a surprise for her. They had everything set up beautifully! It was such a sweet, personal touch and made our stay feel instantly special and romantic. The updated rooms were comfortable and stylish, the ocean view was STUNNING (especially being from WI!), and being right on the water with walkable access to Laguna's shops, restaurants, and beaches was unbeatable. We also loved the 24-hour coffee and tea station, such a thoughtful amenity for tea lovers like us! Unfortunately it rained during our stay but we made it a point to come back a different day for the Rooftop restaurant. I was surprised to see how many locals were there, enjoying the same view we traveled 2000 miles for. Once the food and drinks came out, we instantly understood the hotspot hype. They also have a rockin' happy hour- be sure to catch a sunset while you're up there!! Between the service, location, views, and attention to detail, La Casa Del Camino was the perfect place to celebrate our honeymoon. We'll absolutely be back again and again. Thank you La Casa Del Camino!! read more

Had a great lunch experience last week. This quaint rooftop bar and grill provides an amazing view of Laguna Beach while serving up tasty meals and delicious cocktails.

Will definitely be keeping this in my short list of places to dine and unwind. read more

La Casa Del Camino - Rooftop Dining - Hotels Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Pros: location is excellent - close to beaches, shopping and restaurants; rooftop bar is a great place to catch the sunset; afternoon desk guy was friendly and helpful. Cons: There are no screens on the room windows; there is a portable air conditioning unit that did not work so we kept the windows open to get some cool air. Ended up with flying bugs coming in the screenless windows. Stay away from the meatballs at the rooftop bar as they have a very mushy and inedible. The morning desk person is not friendly and could use some customer service training. read more

We love to come escape from reality over at La Casa Del Camino. I've stayed here once before and that's why we felt to come back and enjoy again. It's nice to have the customer service part through the text messages to communicate any questions or concerns that will be answered in timely manner. The beach is right outside your room window and it's wonderful to hear the waves crash all night long. Lots of history and shops to check out right out the front door. The rooftop restaurant is pleasant and provides a good quality of food and service. Lots of places nowadays give minimal attention to detail because of the views. Staff is friendly and welcoming which should be a standard not a plus. Hospitality is key and running a hotel is very important to touch all areas and I believe they did. Some people can't afford to do much and when they get that opportunity it should be worth every penny. Always room for improvements with that said.... Thank you for taking care of my family and I. Great job and hope to return next year. read more

La Casa Del Camino - An appetizer from the restaurant. Baked Brie - Hotels Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

This was a last minute wkend getaway with my hubby. It's one of the nicest experiences I've had considering it was done out on a whim. Lol! Anyway, check in was easy. The people were friendly and not snobbish at all! They seemed down to earth and easy to talk to. The roof top bar was packed at dinner but, we found seating in the bar where we started drinks! The wait time was fast and as I am an observant kind of person, I noticed this one gentleman that was working hard to clear tables and my husband even spoke to him for me, and thanked him for doing such a great job! After dinner and drinks, we walked to get gelato and chocolates. We came back and decided to go back up to the bar. They were so nice, that even at closing, they still served us! It was a beautiful night under the stars. Parking was across the street which made it easy breezy! We'd definitely go back again. I can't say anything bad about this place. The charm and Spanish style somewhat reminded me of a stay in Italy. It did get a little loud at times and perhaps there may have been some spirits around or electrical short circuits, whichever way you see it, as our TV turned off and on by itself. But hey, that's what you get from an old building right? What do you expect? read more
