Only took a couple months for the Smith family to realize the Inn needed more rooms. One item in front of them that was a challenge was the need for sewer. Thus plans to add the second story between the front hotel rooms and Grandpa’s suite began. So the 1926 paved road through Laguna Beach ended right here, right at Cypress (Mountain Rd.). The road further south was dirt, as was Cypress down to the ocean cliff.
