The front desk staff is not polite and friendly and we felt like not welcome upon checking in.. Poorly attitude assisting us in setting up the cellular phone WIFI system… My understanding that I made my reservation that the breakfast is included… We were charged with our breakfast for our 2 days stay…Please verify and thank you..

Comfortable hotel

This is a very comfortable hotel. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. They serve cookies every day at the front desk. My room was nice and came with a refrigerator and microwave. There is a small pool and jacuzzi outside. It is close to restaurants, stores, and the tollway.

When we checked in, the roll-in shower room we reserved was not available. None of the keys worked & you had to hunt down staff anytime you wanted to get back into your room.my nephew was issued the wrong key and someone was already in the room. There was a constant smell of burnt wires in our room and the smoke alarm was wrapped in plastic. One elevator was inoperable. The pull-down shade had holes & gashes. 2 night stay and room was never cleaned.

Not the best but ok

I stayed for two nights. Booked a king bed room. But was given a double bed room. The walls are so thin so you can hear everyone and everything. If you’re there for business might be ok. I was there for a visit with my family. But I didn’t want to be up at 6am with all the loud sounds.

It feels like a third world country of staffers with no training. The Asian girl at the front desk has an attitude, the housekeepers apparently speak no English as they never understand come back in an hour to clean the room and simply never come back. The management is running the hotel into the ground. The laundry room machines do not work and apparently it has been this way for quite sometime and they simply do not call to have them replaced or fixed. Stay here at your own risk but I strongly recommend avoiding this area and the hotels in this area. Stay north of Irvine spectrum because people in this backwards town of Lake Forest obviously never got the memo that customer service is everything.

Excellent hotel. However the staff had taken my credit card at check in. Then after a few minutes asked for a card to secure the stay. Not sure I didn’t remember they already had a card I gave them another. Thought I had lost the other when I went to pay at a local restaurant. Later they called my room and said they “found” my card. A mix up for sure but am grateful for them returning it. Other than that? I recommend this hotel!

Upon arrival at the property I was not greeted by the front desk personnel. The front desk employee tinkered with the computer while I stood there waiting to be acknowledged for check in. Also my AMEX Platinum and Visa cards were declined even though it had sufficient funds. Luckily another Visa card worked. Not a good first impression of the property upon check in. The hotel room floor looked dirty with shoe marks. This will be the first and last time I stay here.

We experienced a very disappointing situation. A month ago, we made a reservation for two queen beds to accommodate our party of four, as a sofa bed was not a suitable option for us. Even though we completed an online check-in the day before arrival, our room was changed to one bed and a sofa bed without any prior notification or explanation. This was extremely inconvenient and frustrating.
