Overnight getaway.
The accommodations and location were excellent. Enjoyed morning coffee from the ocean view balcony. Beach access directly across PCH. Great restaurants within walking distance. Friendly and helpful staff. Just a few areas of concern...The check-in process was more involved than expected, requiring an almost intrusive level of providing identification. Additionally, the TV operation required way too much interaction, downloads and fussiness required to simply watch local programming. Once we checked in however, all was good and our stay was quite worth the effort. We'll be back.

Highly satisfied with Sonder!
I had an incredible stay at Sonder La Ensenada in Laguna Beach! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the beautiful beach and close to great restaurants and shops. The room was modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. I loved the self-check-in process, which was seamless and convenient. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a beach getaway. The bed was super comfortable, and I appreciated the small touches like the quality toiletries and fully stocked kitchen. The staff was friendly and responsive whenever I needed assistance. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to experience the best of Laguna Beach.

Overall ok, good location
After 2 nights, we had to change rooms as we could not sleep due to a very loud cricket in the air conditioner. The staff were friendly enough to help us switch rooms, which had a nice little view of the ocean next to the PCH. We did go from a King Bed (new bathroom) to a Queen Bed (old bathroom), but it was ok, better than the first room as we had no natural light coming in. Location was good, easy to walk to nearby coffee shops and straight across the road was the ocean. Downfall - You have to pay for parking downstairs which really should be included in the price of your stay. The carpark was empty! Being international tourists, we parked on the street, finding a free park a block up and ended up getting a $60 parking ticket. Staff were friendly, place was somewhat renovated but still kinda dated.. photos make it look better than it was. Probably paying for the location more than anything.

Disappointed - tired hotel with dirty rooms
The whole place is tired and rundown and desperately in need of renovation. We were disappointed and had expected more. The hotel was reasonably inexpensive but as they provide very little in the way of staff and extras I still expected a clean and well maintained property and, sadly, this was not the case. In addition the air conditioning system was ridiculously loud. So you either got too hot at night or couldn't sleep because of the noise of the air conditioning system.

Trenton checked us in and was especially friendly and helpful. We heard early morning construction, hammering, drilling etc. next to our room, but overall it was a pleasant stay. Staff onsite were gracious and very attentive, providing extra towels and toiletries when needed. We'll be back again.

The only reason to stay here is because of location. This room was so deep in the basement that there was 0 light and no cell phone service - the phones were literally on SOS. The wifi at the property does not work well, so despite staff efforts to give alternative options, we could not connect our cell phones to the wifi and basically had to deal with having no connectivity to the outside world when in the room. This did not feel safe nor did it make it easy or comfortable to do/schedule/communicate with anyone or anything. Additionally, the floors were really dirty, you can't walk barefoot and coming out of the shower left literally black prints all over the floor. I wouldn't stay here or recommend it.

Great for the price
The Hotel is excellently located. If your plan is to stay in Laguna this will do it. close to the beach if you want to walk a flight of steps. If not, a short trolley ride north or south to flat entry beaches. I would definitely recommend traveling south to Aliso creek beach, much better access. Walk to town for restaurants and shopping.

Great location however the gate access didn’t work and we had to walk to the lobby for entry. The A/C unit was leaking outside and cables and wires were exposed on the edge of the balcony. The bed and comforter were clean and plush. The room was difficult to find as it was on the 4th floor but we had to access it from the 3rd and climb stairs. Lastly, the shower attachment was missing.

Our was very comfortable and met our needs. All of the staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Parking was very convenient. Being near a beach it was hard to keep sand out of the room.

First off, we were excited to stay at this property. Proximity to the beach is amazing. PCH has plenty to offer. Trolley line is extremely close to the hotel. The roof top has a nice view of the ocean. The room on the other hand was a huge disappointment. The room was on the 1st floor which had a huge amount of street noise. There is no insulation in the walls so we can hear everything our neighbors were saying at night. The room stated there was a white noise machine which we couldn't find. The room smelled damp. The vent in the bathroom turns on but feeling the vent, you can tell it is barely working. When we got into the hotel, the bathroom smelled like it was recently used and continued to stay like that even with the vent turned on. Other small details such as purchase UPC stickers showcased on the planters, and the art in the public hall being hung with the artist name upside down. Obviously this is not a hotel that pays attention to detail. I am not sure what the other rooms are like, the ones that have their own balconies seem much better. However, I suggest anyone staying here makes sure they will not be staying on the 1st floor which is below street level.
