Hotels near Shaws Cove Beach

"Great location, big room. Free parking and area to warm food. Mattresses are really bad it was like sleeping on a water bed! Shower could be cleaner, small areas of black mold. And Kirkland coffee was not good. Would stay again if there was absolutely no other place to stay in this price range. This property which was built in 1949 could be stellar with just a few changes!"

"Hotel was exactly as described. Sweet touches like wine at 5 and cookies at 6, and the fire pit was on in the evenings without having to ask to have it turned in. Close walk to restaurants and Urth Cafe"

"Excellent hotel in a great location in one of the most beautiful locations in CA. Amenities were a plus; heated pool and hot tub, easy access to Heisler park and downtown Laguna. Upper rooms have a view of the ocean. Breakfast was great. Will come back again. "

"This property is uniquely located near the heart of downtown Laguna Beach close to restaurants and bars and on the sand. Excellent sunset views and very nice staff and the restaurants are excellent too."

"A terrible experience. Expedia and the hotel both charged me for a one night stay. I contacted the hotel when I returned home to let them know that we were double charged and they blew me off and told me to contact Expedia. I called Expedia and they called the hotel when I was on hold. The representative came back and said the hotel will be refunding us. They never refunded us and when I directly contacted the hotel again, they refused to refund me. One night stay and 2 hours of trying to figure this out. Expedia and this hotel are terrible."

"Hotel Joaquín was lovely! The staff was very attentive and friendly. "

"Well, this isn't the Ritz and the room was very old, musty with a loud air conditioner; I will not stay there again. The location, however, was terrific! Needs mucho upgrades, and if done properly, this place can be awesome!"

"Quaint place close to the beach and shopping. Parking was a cinch. Had an elevator which helped with luggage. Staff was very friendly and helpful. "

"The gentleman at the reception when we arrived was very nice. The room was very disappointed. We booked an ocean view and it was not. It was a very partial view between 2 buildings. The room had a smell and we saw a cockroach in the room. The breakfast was not good."
