Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa
There is major construction at this hotel. I was advised the only way to avoid some of the noise was to pay for an upgraded room on the other side of the hotel. Once there it was where they parked the construction equipment and once that started was far from quiet!

Rooms are nice and very clean. The beds are a little hard, but not bad enough to be an issue. I would stay again as the price is a good deal.
