My wife and I spent two nights in one of the beach view rooms and it was very nice and comfortable The a/c unit probably knocked out any outside noises so no complaints there We met the owner who was running the office and he could not have been more accommodating

I needed a couple bandages for a scraped foot and he gave me several Super nice guy The location is a bit of a walk from downtown but the trolley stop is not far away or the walk is pretty nice too The beach is a down a short path to a public street then some stairs down to the ocean Beach chairs and a couple boogie boards are available free to guests, a nice surprise For the price this is really a nice option and if I were to come back to Laguna this would be the first place I would check for an available room Enjoyed our stayThanks

J. Levy

really great little place The beds were very comfortable and the pillows were nice white linens

Nice towels and awesome shower wish we could have stayed a little bit longer so we could have enjoyed the beach walk but had to be in overnight and go def recommend if you need a centrally located place in Laguna Beach had fridge and microwave

Antelmo Lara

Stayed for a quick 1 day trip with the family and I have to say unbeatable price you get absolutely everything with this place, the peace the view and the spacious room that is renovated Anyone looking to stay anywhere else look no further this place is definitely a little gem PS don’t go based on how the place looks from the outside I almost looked away while booking because of it and now I know it would’ve been a great mistake

Cannot recommend coming here enough! Every member of staff was extremely friendly and made it a priority to greet us Natalie at the front desk was super sweet! We received a complimentary sangria upon arrival and breakfast in the morning Worth mentioning that the blackened chicken tacos were AMAZING! We had them for lunch and dinner because they were that good! If you get a chance checkout the pool and the hidden sunset overlook

So glad we chose to stay here and hopefully we’ll get the chance to come back! 🤍

Blake Hannas

I cannot say enough great things about Casa Laguna My wife and I absolutely loved our stay here If you’re looking for a unique, quaint, quiet, boutique, private resort feel, and a place with some history & character, Casa Laguna is for you

One of its most unique features is it feels as though you’re in a big garden – the property is covered in beautiful flowers, trees, and other shrubbery The staff provided exceptional service The food was incredible, especially the burger and chicken tacos 10 minute walk to Victoria Beach Short trolley ride to the main part of town Towels, chairs, and umbrella for beach included Breakfast included We would recommend Casa Laguna to anyone One of our favorite places we’ve stayed while on vacation anywhere

Sheree Cloer

This place is a hidden gem Driving past it on coast highway I never would have known how beautiful the property is Much of the historic building has been preserved but also upgraded to modern amenities in the rooms

I loved walking slowly through the grounds because of the attention and care given to landscaping with native and exotic plants- everywhere I turned was another sight to enjoy, along with seating areas that are so inviting Every staff member that I encountered was friendly and hospitable Complimentary breakfast options are delicious and made to order

Rebecca Meyer

This was my first time staying at this darling property I am a Laguna Beach gal and this is truly a hidden gem The grounds give you a feeling of being on an island

Very quaint, quiet, clean and tropical It surpasses all the big fancy-schmancy hotels by far!!! The upper deck that overlooks the pool was my go to place, with the cutest 2 rocking chairs to share a bottle of wine and watch the sunset The owner Chris goes above and beyond to accommodate, always a text or phone call away I will definitely be telling my friends about this amazing spot and cant wait to come back Thank you Chris Keller for 3 very relaxing, enjoyable days

Kevin Bunce

My wife and I (and pup) found this hotel last minute and couldn’t be happier The place was freshly renovated with nice Adirondack chairs outside our first floor room The pool was great and only 5 minutes to the beach

It’s unassuming from the road but once on site you will not be disappointedWe can’t wait to be back!

Sheila Mann

We stayed at the Laguna Beach Lodge in order to attend the Winter Sawdust Festival There is a trolley stop right by this hotel and we took that to the festival I hadn’t stayed at this hotel for about 10 years – WOW

may I just say this is an absolute top choice to stay in Laguna The whole place got renovated a couple of years ago and it was so nice we truly did not want to leave The interior design is beautiful and our room had an ocean view There was a kitchenette that had more than what we needed for our quick weekend stay The owner Chris responds to any and all concerns very quickly Plenty of towels, beautiful decor, and perfect location This hotel is across the street from one of my favorite beaches – Treasure Island Don’t hesitate to stay at the Laguna Beach lodge!

Meghan Wilmesher

Wow I had SUCH a lovely stay here quite honestly my stay may be the best at any hotel It was so clean and comfortable I almost felt like I was staying at my own home I have to say what really did it for me was the front desk staff – holy cow they went to above and beyond helping me with all of my requests (even switching rooms a few times)

They were patient and kind beyond words The rooms were comfortable, there were so many great amenities that came with our stay like tickets to the mission and dining credits I will most certainly be back and I cannot say enough nice things about this beautiful hotel, it was a treat to stay here

Patrick Madden

A relatively new property in a cool and historic area The design of the property is excellent and fits in wonderfully with the surrounding area Staff throughout the property were top-notch, especially the valet staff and bartenders in the restaurant

It’s a great place for a short weekend retreat to unwind and relax That said, I found the room to be quite small and I didn’t feel inclined to spend an extended period of time relaxing in the room beyond sleeping at night Fortunately, the property is walking distance to some great restaurants, a historic museum, and the train station if you want to take a quick ride down to San Diego for the day

Success Expressed

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful resort! I remember the plot of land empty and neglected for decades And now we have a Wonderful resort with beautiful architecture in old San Juan It’s amazing what you can do with the proper planning

The rooms and interiors are authentically designed to the mission and SJC style, just beautiful!We enjoyed the pool amenities and the sunshine with the proper positioning under the sunWhat we really liked about the hotel was the staff They are so friendly, down to earth, welcoming and attentive One of the managers, Michael passed by the pool and checked in on each guest and we had a lovely chat with himDuring brunch on Sunday, another manager, Rod, rolled up his sleeves and helped to bring umbrellas for the guests, the bar tender knew all the trivia of the hotel as he had been here from day oneFrom the valet guys to housekeeping, to waiters, front desk to managers, service was top of mindThank you, we highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway!

Misty Barber

This was our first time staying at Montague Laguna Beach and will definitely not be our last We had an amazing experience The staff goes above and beyond with absolutely everything from valet, to the restaurant, front desk, the spa, pool attendants, and room attendants

Everyone here makes it their mission to provide a wonderful customer experience We ended up extending a day because we didn’t want to leave The grounds are well kept and you can see they take pride in all areas of the property Their private beach is stunning and just a short walk from the rooms I’m already looking forward to our next trip here

Candice Horde

Where do I start? First and foremost, this is the best customer service experience I’ve had since moving to California 5 years ago No age or racial bias that my partner and I have experienced in the past at resorts, just kindness, patience, and attention to detail The view is breathtaking, peaceful, and colorful

The beaches are clean and not overpopulated The rooms are clean and meticulously designed, and the tech & COVID friendly way they have their menus the remote set up is pretty innovative The concierge knows what they’re doing and will make whatever accommodations happen In love with this place; will be absolutely returning

Jedi Master ASU

We spent 4 nights at the Montage The place was wonderful, clean and relaxing pace It was a perfect quiet vacation that we wanted

The room was clean and it smelled good We appreciated the little things They had a lady that came out with different animals at the pool The day we found out about her, she had a hawk that scared away some birds They also had live music on the pool and it was really nice The beach was almost empty and the place feels really high end The food was also great The staff was kind and nice and the valet would get our cars out very fast We never had to wait long on anything Had a great time and will come back soon

Staff was very friendly and always helpful Room service was extremely fast and always cooked properly and fresh Prices were high as expected

This hotel features nightly entertainment and seemed to be very busy entertaining many guests The hotel over looks a nice fashion square Known for it’s shopping and good eats The hotel is beautiful and the room was very nice My only complaint would have been the dirty bed in our room We didn’t need it but the sheets very clearly needed washed and contained someone else’s hair Other then that the service we received were very enjoyed We will be back

Suzette Sanz

We enjoyed the hotels location It was great to be walking distance to Fashion Island Our room had a nice view of the ocean and the private golf course

Although you can’t walk to the beach it’s very easy to drive there and enjoy the surf and the sand The pool was crowded but felt homey with a family friendly environment The kids enjoyed the ping ping table right off of the pool

Arcenio Reyes

Fantastic Hotel Beautifully appointed Rooms, great view of the pool, Fashion Island and Ocean from the 8th floor 2 day work session and all catered lunches and breakfasts were absolutely delicious

We found this little gem on our last trip to Laguna, CA It is a very cute older style hotel that has has recently had a makeover Our room looked fresh and had new paint, and cute decorations

We had a nice size room with a king bed, bathroom, outside sitting area and a small kitchen It is just steps from the beach and you can hear the ocean Just what we wanted The staff was friendly They offered breakfast We will be staying here again

Josie Ciaciuch

I really would’ve loved to give this place a 5 star but after my experience, I cannot My family and I stayed at this hotel the same time last year and we had a pleasant experience So, when we returned this year we were expecting the same thing

However, we were surprised by the lack of hospitality/service, cleanliness etc When we showed up the service was perfectly fine However, we got into our room and noticed that the floor was quite dirty to the point where we could tell it had no been swept or mopped since the last customer had used the room Along with that, when we went to use the shower there was no hot water We even left the shower running for a good amount of time, and it still was not working right We called the front desk and in the morning maintenance took care of it After this, we did not have any issues until the day we checked out of our room We were thankful that we got to leave our luggage at the front desk of the hotel however, when we came back to retrieve our luggage, my grandmother needed to use the restroom The lady at the front office refused to let her use the restroom and told us that we would need to find an alternative place across the street After not finding a public restroom nearby, we came back to ask again thinking that since we were PAYING customers at their hotel for MULTIPLE nights that they would have some resolution to help us The lady at the front desk was not kind and had no sense of hospitality and was the least bit helpful She claimed that she would get in trouble by her boss if anyone used the restroom in the office area and claimed that all of the rooms were being used or checked into early (it was 1pm at the time) After seeing that our room was just being cleaned (the door was open), we finally convinced her to let my grandmother use the restroom in the room we had just stayed the night in She left us with a snarky remark as our “goodbye” and refused to give her name when I asked to say thank youAll in all, with mine and my family’s experiences this time, I do not recommend the seaside inn any longer

Patrick Brown

We had an absolutely wonderful time here! I was sad it was for only 1 night The staff was so kind and thoughtful, and attentive to our every need, and excellent communication! We even came home from dinner to find a nice snack board and wine in our room, which was a very nice surprise! The room was a stunning 1br suite, just yards from the ocean with killer views! My wife and I will definitely be staying here again next time we’re in town!

Beau

Pros: Great location, beautiful venue (roof top), affordable, staff were beyond kind / gracious / helpful I celebrated a wedding here and loved everything except the roomCons: Rooms were small, ocean view was blocked by cables / electrical wire

No chair for ocean view window Nail sticking out of bed head board Mold growing on bathroom walls Small fridge that didn’t work No coffee maker available upon request They didn’t allow us to have early check in and made us wait until 4 pm for check in Despite this the room seemed very dirty other than the bedding changed

Maia Aman

Wonderful place to stay! Historic and quaint charm with laid-back vibe Staff were very friendly and everything was clean The location is amazing as it’s just steps from the beach with lots of dining and shops around

They have a coffee bar with pastries for breakfast in the morning and you can enjoy their rooftop with great ocean views

Mike Girardin

I have stayed at Casa Del Camino many times for both work and pleasure It’s a nice little hotel, with cozy rooms, friendly staff, and a good breakfast It’s close to many shops, the beach, and restaurants

Despite it’s proximity to the main street, it’s also relatively quiet Some of the rooms may be a little small for families, but for couples, it is idealThere’s a reason I keep going back I highly recommend

This renovated hotel is located only 5 minutes from arguably the best beach in Laguna According to my kids, South Crescent Bay has the highest waves of all the beaches Isis, the manager, was exceedingly friendly and accommodating

Everyone at the hotel was incredibly sweet and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area

Bill Morrow

We spent one night here in June, and everything was wonderful! The room was extremely clean It looked like it had been remodeled recently as the paint looked fresh, and the shower was beautiful! The staff were very friendly and accommodating! Our room had two queen beds with lots of pillows (a must for us!), a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, plenty of storage, lots of charger plug-ins, a balcony, two sinks, tv, and an iron and ironing board Plus, the beds were comfy! The hotel provided free parking and has a swimming pool

We crossed the street and walked down to the Crescent Bay Beach (02 miles) We walked to several other beach areas including Divers Cove, Heisler Park, and Main Beach It is about a mile to walk to the downtown area to hit the restaurants and shops The hotel provides a free breakfast of bagels, yogurt, cereal, and bananas I highly recommend The Art Hotel!

Stephanie Marder

Came in a few minutes late and called the number on the door several times and waited an hour We are now looking for some where to stay this evening THE ATTENDANT, called back within an 90 minutes

She was on her lunch break It is now 1230 pm When she called back we were booking another hotel We can only hope the rooms are nice We are amazed at the lack of timely customer service and frightened by the other reviews we just read

Ashley Atkinson

I stayed here for a meeting in the Laguna Room but enjoyed it so much I decided to stay another night on my own! You can’t beat the location — I believe every room has a coastal view and it’s steps from the beach and downtown Laguna The only thing I’d caution is that some rooms and the pool are very close to the public walking trail on the cliff, so you will hear and see the foot traffic, but I enjoyed the people-watching Service was helpful and unobtrusive, and the decor is neutral and understated (doesn’t scream “hotel!” which I appreciate)

Since they don’t have a big lobby or restaurant, it’s a pretty quiet place other than the complementary rooftop happy hour The catering provided for our meeting was simple but nice I liked the sustainable touches such as cloth towels instead of paper, and a reef-safe sunscreen dispenser at the pool Really felt like a getaway, definitely would visit again!

Patrick Minns

Beautiful hotel, absolutely stunning beach view from our beach facing room The bad was among the most comfortable we have ever slept Staff was extremely friendly, and the rooms are modern and cozy

Many choices for eating are within walking distance as are art galleries and shopping choices The beach is unique, there is traditional sand, but also tide pools which are sadly devoid of the sea life that one would expect We had a wonderful dinner at Nicks Laguna Beach and a memorable anniversary celebration This is now an anniversary destination for years to come

John Moore

Every summer for the past five years my mother has stayed at the inn to attend the Laguna pageant It has a wonderful location with views of the ocean, beach and park and is just minutes to walk from to restaurants and shopping As an older property it has had some renovations done

The common areas are very nice, the rooms are clean and the beds comfortable Occasionally there is a bathroom door that doesn’t close properly or a slight odor but overall this is a nice place I do find it a bit pricey but after all it is Laguna Beach

Margo Diebold

The room and overall facility was nice The staff were friendly and the front desk employees were prompt The breakfast was typical for a hotel, though I believe they may have cooked eggs to order, but I didn’t observe this and the person responsible was usually in the back

The bartender wasn’t friendly Aside from not being friendly, she told me I had to get silverware from the front desk, which was ridiculous as they serve breakfast in the same area and use plastic silverware; I think she just didn’t want to get it, though there was only one other customer in the restaurant I’m giving only give 3 stars as housekeeping was far below what I would expect We stayed Mon-Sat and our room was taken care of one time I understand staffing shortages, and don’t need my room cleaned daily, but access to towels and toilet paper would have helped a great deal Daily, I had to search out towels on my own Luckily the housekeeping office was just up the hall, so if the door was open, I could retrieve towels If the office door wasn’t open I had to wait on the front desk to send someone up, which often took a while Unfortunately it wasn’t until the middle of the night, 2am, that I realized I should have stocked up on TP I’d recommend if there is a lack of staff, have guests put their towels outside the door and someone could go by with a cart, take them, replace them and leave TP I would have been okay with that

Jack Gold

Was not worth $200+/night Took 2 hours to check in Got charged an extra $125 for no reason with no notification

Breakfast was okay but options were limited as was access to the breakfast room If paying this much for a room, guests should be able to grab a cup of tea or other snack outside of breakfast hours Hot tub at pool was drained despite being advertised as openWouldn’t recommend staying here

Beautiful hotel room The couch is the only downside it’s not great But the view from the patio is stunning

The bed was firm, pillows comfortable, front desk guy was super nice getting us checked in very late Breakfast had some tasty pastries, juice, milk, coffee, yogurt, cereal and boiled eggs Fridge and microwave in the room is a nice addition Very happy with our stay here

Femme Fatale

If I could give a negative rating i would For starters, they didn’t give me the room I booked Second this place is not clean at all

the toilet was dirty and the bathroom smelled Oh and don’t get tricked with the beachfront more like street front There is nothing close to the beach about this place The personal did not comeOff as friendly or helpful at all Breakfast sucks Basically spend your money elsewhere

Marycruz Serrano

We booked a beachfront suite for our anniversary An hour in the suite my fiance comes out of the bathroom soaking because water was pouring out of the ceiling They moved us to another “suite” before we saw it they told us it was going to be better and bigger

It wasn’t it was partial view and smaller Which is fine but they still wanted to charge us the same I looked on their website it was at least a $30 difference per nightThe next day I’m in my room and a man came in my room through the balcony, please note this happened on the 3rd floor Its been a hassle trying to get this fixed We stayed 4/13-4/15 They really didn’t seem to care or take anything into consideration

We stayed 2 nights in room 114 and it was so fun The front desk staff ladies and gentlemen were absolutely great We were treated like family

There is wine at 5pm and cookies at 6pm What a great time We had to leave in a hurry for San Diego and could not thank the team properly Thank you so much to the team! This is highly recommended for all to stayThanks

Out of all the places we stayed on our trip to California this was bay far the best Nice smelling lobby with a chess board and free wine from 5-6pm The rooms were clean and bright and ours had a private patio area

The cozy pool hot tub and fire pit was a great spot to relax Just a quick walk to the beach and another short walk to lots of restaurants shopping and other beaches and museums Will be back again with our kids next time

I’d give it more stars if I could First the great:-The most comfortable beds in a hotel EVER You just sink in and crash

-They offer free wine at 5pm and hot and fresh cookies at 6pm-Free covered parking-The attention to detail in everything they do is so refreshing-Hot tub and pool are great-Balcony off of room is cozy and inviting to listen to the waves crash-The morning coffee and teas are great to take down to the waters edge in the mornings-The staff was so kindThe only things that could have been better is:-The doors and windows don’t block sound that great so if there’s someone walking in the courtyard and they’re talking you’ll hear it inside-The big beach is actually down the road to the south Down the Jill from the beach house is waterfront but it’s rocky So swimming there could be dangerous But it is beautiful and they sounds of the waves crashing onto the rocks are amazingBoth of those are so minor that I wasn’t even sure I should mention them We loved our stay here We only booked for two nights and then headed to Vegas for two nights We wish we would have just stayed here for all four nights We loved it here

This is a great hotel that touches the water in Laguna Beach The tower rooms on the top floor are the best views in my opinion Not a lot of the rooms have air conditioning but they give lots of fans and being on the sand can be breezy so it’s perfect

Great location and delicious coffee in the hotel The restaurant and bar also have great sights but get reservations And the pool can be a fight for the best seats that face the water, so if you want prime seats, get there early

A few weeks ago my husband and I decided to do a staycation at Surf and Sand When we arrived the entire staff was very welcoming Lisa checked us in and we told her the purpose of our vacation

She really went out of her way to make sure our stay was memorable She went above and beyond to accommodate us and get us the best room (which was a beautiful upgraded room) If that wasn’t enough they also sent over a bottle of wine and chocolate as they knew how important this time was for us Nicky, who was also at the front desk, checked in on us multiple times to make sure we were doing and that we were enjoying our stay One of the best experiences we had by far!!! This will be our go to place because the property is so beautiful and the staff is very attentive and do their best to make your stay amazing

Tracy Brunetti

This hotel is absolutely amazing I had a client residing at the hotel and wanted to do something nice for he and his wife The Concierge, Sandra, and Michael at the front desk, both strategize together to help me quickly plan a wonderful gift for my client

They both stayed late and went well out of their way to assist me and I cannot thank them enough!These two employees exemplify customer service Since I work in a customer service centric industry, multi family, I wanted to commend them both for going out of their way and providing the superior service! Thank you again for all your help to make my clients stay even better! Hats off to Sandra and Michael!

We stayed in a suite with a King size bed and whirlpool hot tub The tub was amazing and well worth the upgrade The room was clean and freshly remodeled, more modern than cozy, the bed could use a couple more pillows, and because I really liked the citrus scented soap and face wash wished there was more in the room along with a bubble bath option for the hot tub

The hotel is directly across the street from the ocean and you could walk there after complementary waffles and yummy coffee along with other breakfast options The service here is awesome, friendly and professional I’m coming back as soon as possible

Sandyy Dii

I’ll start by stating that Phil and Xandria were both so very welcoming and their hospitality outshines the sun rays on the water We stayed here for 3 days and from the views to the beautiful large rooms, were all above our expectations The rooms were clean and well kept up

Both Phil and another employee personally came to our room to make sure we did not need anything and when we did they were right on it Customer service this superior is hard to come by these days we truly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back

Dwayne Favors

Yes, this is an updated older hotel Yes, the shower isn’t as hot as you probably have at home I read reviews of every hotel in Dana Point before booking for our trip, and they all have similar good and bad

This one seemed to have the best good reviews, and I’m glad The owners are amazing, gracious hosts We got a room with a beach view, so there was no one above us, and the view was great Breakfast was typical, and not something I choose a hotel for, anyway The room was clean, but there were spots of age in the bathroom Nothing of any concern, even to my extremely picky wife (who bristled harshly when I told her we were staying at a Best Western) Even she was pleasantly surprised by the hotel All-in-all, I doubt there is a better place to stay with an ocean view in the area, so book here with confidence

This was a lovely hotel with amazing amenities The fitness center is free to use if you’re staying at the hotel, and it’s not your standard hotel gym The fitness center is essentially its own full blown gym, with a great pool to boot

Rooms are clean with a lot of space The only thing that was off was the cleaning staff kept asking when we were leaving so they can clean the room despite us having late checkout

Rodney Ibrahim

Stayed 3 nights here while in town for some meetings Everyone in the area knows about this hotel because of the gym which is attached to the hotel The hotel is in a good area with a parking garage next door which is $27 a day

Rooms were a good size with very comfortable beds However there a few things that could use improvement First, the bathroom was very dimly lit Would help if there was a light in the actual shower Also there was no safe in the room There may be one in the room but I didn’t see oneIf you’re a gym person, the gym is legit Has most types of equipment along with nice locker room with steam, sauna, and jacuzzi They also have a nice lap pool outsideThe bar and restaurant are good and there is happy hour starting around 4 which is fun to take advantage of The food at the restaurant was actually quite good If I’m in the area I’ll be back here

I have no patience with being charged full price and then getting the “no service” speech upon check in! They claim staffing issues…Additionally, I noticed that the two complimentary waters that come with every Marriott property on planet earth were not in my room I called the front desk and they said I had to come down to get them Irritating, but fine

But then it was like trying to convince a toddler to share their Tonka truck when I asked for more water since there was no daily service to replenish them He told me I could come back to the lobby and refill them at the water stationLook… I hate giving bad reviews Most of mine are positive However, my recent streak with Marriott brands is making me question my loyalty!Anyway… this is a great gym with a waterless hotel with no service attached… the tacos were pretty good too…

We booked a weekend over Christmas weekend with the hope of spending a lot of time inside and order in-room dining to stay safe covid wisePros: Very dog friendly hotel with tons of green spaces for doggies to roam around and do their business We loved our room with its private fireplace

The room was clean and very comfortable Tons of movie choices and just an overall great TV app selection Great staff and serviceCons: The thing that disappointed us the most was the in-room dining food quality The taste was just awful Over the weekend we almost tried everything on the menu and literally everything was just barely eatable including the burger and chicken noodle soup! How do you mess up a burger or a chicken soup? The only item that was OK was the mac and cheese I really hope management reads this review and tries some of the food for themselves Given the in-room menu price points, your clients really deserve better than this

It was fun two nights, the kids had fun in the pool and we made new friends with other nice families with children The servers and the housekeeping staff were very polite and had great customer service skills For the price we paid, unfortunately it did not measure up! I booked the hotel for 4 adults they gave us a tiny room with one king bed once they saw we were two adults and two small children at check in

I had to go back and question that so they gave us a new room with two queen beds Just didn’t feel welcomed at that moment and we probably will not go back there just because for the amount of money paid it’s not worth it We went there to relax and it was very noisy ac compressor maybe? And in the morning 8 am drilling noises and construction sounds The property is really beautiful, with a nice view of the ocean and the coast line The beach is nice too they have sand toys for the kids to borrow and will set up chairs and umbrellas for you The food was delicious!

First visit at this Ritz-Carlton and it was an excellent stay We were upgraded to the Club level and our experience was superb The staff were helpful and offered suggestions on restaurants and local attractions

The food was great along with the drinks I would totally do Club level again at the Ritz! Loved the fact that the support staff was diverse and mingled with all of us
