Laguna Hills Lodge

Laguna Hills Lodge

8/10 Good
"I’ve stayed here several times. It’s in an ideal Orange County location. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. This time the air conditioning wasn’t working in the first room they gave me. Went back to the lobby, and their computers were down. So I had to wait a little bit for a new room. But I really enjoy the convenient free breakfast spread they offer in the morning."
