Lemon Heights Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Lemon Heights Inn. The prices were reasonable, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The facility was exceptionally clean. I look forward to my next stay. E. Carey"

Pacific Edge Hotel

4/10 Poor

"There is not a ton of privacy in your room. I could hear everything from the room next door and I’m sure they could hear us. Also, the connecting door to the other room was left unlocked and someone walked into my room from the connecting room which was startling. The beds are not comfortable at all, and to top it off we found a small roach crawling up the glass shower on our first night. Oh, and there is no parking here unless you pay $45 a night for valet. The worst hotel I have stayed in at Laguna. I did like the ocean view and staying right on the beach, but you can find that almost anywhere in Laguna. Also, the staff was friendly and helpful overall, but I would definitely not book here again. Not the experience I was hoping for at all."

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

4/10 Poor

"The room I got was suppose to be not smoking but it smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. There is no actually stove or dishwasher in the room. They have a one mini countertop stove that they take to your room upon request as well as the dishes and silverware. They do not take out trash, fill towels, toilet paper, or soap during duration of stay. Unfortunately it is very poorly maintained. Upon opening one of the room darkening shades one of the handles fell off. The bath tub faucet and shower head are barely hanging on for dear life. You have to be very careful when using them. The TV does not have any Internet so you just watch what's on satellite TV. They use vouchers for breakfast which I actually prefer as to avoid any breakfast chaos with a family of 6."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Santa Ana Orange County Airport

2/10 Terrible

"I am sorry to say, I was pretty disappointed with our stay at this hotel. the hotel was dirty and very outdated. the bathroom faucet was coming off the sink, and the pillows and comforters had stains on them. this hotel is a pet friendly hotel so we did find urine stains on the balcony. the only thing that we did enjoy was the complimentary breakfast they serve, the staff was super friendly and professional on their work. I hope that for the price they charge, they do a little better on the care they give to this hotel"
