Top hotels in Laguna
Casa Riviera
"Very nice comfortable unit, in great central location. We had a problem with keypad after returning in the evening, but a text and call quickly remedied the problem. Evidently internet had crashed and none of keypads worked. Plentiful underground parking a real plus in this neighborhood."
