We are a family of 5 and booked into room 516 at the Riviera. After reading some of the reviews I was slightly unsure if this would be one of those Hotels you check-in, then after seeing the room check-out.

This was our 3rd and so far best stay at this wonderful hidden gem in Laguna Beach. The rooms are fresh and clean, the views are unbelievable, and the staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive.
