Well for starters the bed was not made correctly Instead of a comforter there was a fitted sheet in its place It made for a horrible sleep

We also needed some towels so we decided to ask for room service after the third day They said we needed to stay 5 nights to get that service and it has to be scheduled 24 hours in advance On the fourth night my son decided to yell through the door we were out of toilet paper! Soooo I had to walk my happy rear end downstairs to get my own re fill of paper I just it was so weird that a hotel at this price you don’t get your room cleaned, have to get towels and re fill your own soap and toilet paper Not to mention it was a little dirty when we arrived but decided when they service the room we will let them know but that didn’t happen Luckily my wife brought Lysol wipes and cleaned the gross spots and floor herself If you like paying top dollar for a room and doing all your own housekeeping I would say this is definitely the place! Although the breakfast was delightfully good

Very nice hotel, the location is near a bunch of little shops you can walk to and it was near a small park that goes to a nice shopping center, Also only 15 mins from the beach! The hotel itself was clean and spacious had everything you needed to cook! The only reason I gave 3 stars was because the carpet in there was really dirty and brown and had dirt spots all over it definitely needed to be cleaned and was kind of Gross & The couch looked as if it needed to be cleaned as well!!I also would like to mention the breakfast is not great for this location, Not much of a selection you’ll definitely have to go somewhere for breakfast! I’ve been to Hilton suites where the breakfast was amazing a little disappointing in this one!

Audrey Luo

Pros: the hot tub, bigger roomCons: not so clean I found a long white piece of something in the coffee maker filter which looked like a worm (it’s too gross to take a picture)

There’s problem with the sink drainage too and it smelled bad The breakfast was over at 9am, way too early I was lucky to finish my business call at 8:50am so I had the chance to eat a few things The location was not convenient It’s far from the highway and main streets Would not stay there again

Vedant

Good budget hotel with no frills The location of the hotel is good and the rooms are clean and well kept The front desk staff is courteous and helpful

But, basic amenities like housekeeping services and complimentary refill of water bottles, tea/coffee pouches are not provided in the room The guests are asked to refill water bottles from the gymnasium (where you get only chilled water) or purchase them from the vending machine on the ground floor The breakfast menu is limited and very basic Overall good for a short weekend stay, but would not recommend for long stay

Syed Aftab

The hotel itself was great Nice and clean in a good location The reason for the low review is because of one of the employees there

He is an Asian man (for description purposes) He yelled at my aunt and other guests that were staying with us for a wedding because they were having a normal volume level conversation in the hotel lobby This employee threatened to call the police and have us kicked out of the hotel without a refund Again, the conversation was at normal, indoor-appropriate volume, away from guests rooms, in the lobby This kind of behavior is unacceptable The employee didn’t give a warning about the conversation at all and went off on my family out of nowhere Apparently this guy has been working there for 2 decades Get it together management It’s a shame that such a good hotel is tarnished by a bad employee

Ela Moskovich

The hotel is extremely dated, everything is old and smellyWe booked a week through Hotelscom

After checking in and seeing with our own eyes how horrible this place is we tried to cancel the remaining 6 nightsThe hotel refused to give us a refund and Hotelscom is useless… now, the consumer needs to find the way to fight two huge corporations:Marriott and HotelscomWhat are the chances???!

Neal Benson

Another great stay at the Hampton Inn and suites for me I really enjoy staying in these kind of placesThe rooms are bigger than your typical hotel room and I enjoy that

My room has a king size bed, a nice desk, and a couch that you can relax on The bathroom is super spacious and this one I don’t know if this hotel is brand-new or it was just recently remodeld but it is very nice I like the decor in the room and everything that they got going on hereWhat you also get with this places you get breakfast in the morning I stopped in yesterday and had waffles and granola You can also get some hard-boiled eggs there too They also have a nice variety of fruitThe grounds are really well kept also I wish I would’ve had a chance to make it to the pool or the Jacuzzi but I didn’t get there So maybe you’ll have to check it out for me on your next day

Cem Ozar

Very spacious room, room and bed clean and comfy Tv was good Breakfast was poor

We have waited 5mins for cream to have a white coffee Lady , taking care of the breakfast area appeared very rare, so we had to investigate in the breakfast area for spoon, eggs etc Hotel was very quite and relaxing till students arrived 🙂 The man at the reception was really helpful

Crisrael Lucero

This was a lovely hotel with amazing amenities The fitness center is free to use if you’re staying at the hotel, and it’s not your standard hotel gym The fitness center is essentially its own full blown gym, with a great pool to boot

Rooms are clean with a lot of space The only thing that was off was the cleaning staff kept asking when we were leaving so they can clean the room despite us having late checkout

Rodney Ibrahim

Stayed 3 nights here while in town for some meetings Everyone in the area knows about this hotel because of the gym which is attached to the hotel The hotel is in a good area with a parking garage next door which is $27 a day

Rooms were a good size with very comfortable beds However there a few things that could use improvement First, the bathroom was very dimly lit Would help if there was a light in the actual shower Also there was no safe in the room There may be one in the room but I didn’t see oneIf you’re a gym person, the gym is legit Has most types of equipment along with nice locker room with steam, sauna, and jacuzzi They also have a nice lap pool outsideThe bar and restaurant are good and there is happy hour starting around 4 which is fun to take advantage of The food at the restaurant was actually quite good If I’m in the area I’ll be back here

David

I have no patience with being charged full price and then getting the “no service” speech upon check in! They claim staffing issues…Additionally, I noticed that the two complimentary waters that come with every Marriott property on planet earth were not in my room I called the front desk and they said I had to come down to get them Irritating, but fine

But then it was like trying to convince a toddler to share their Tonka truck when I asked for more water since there was no daily service to replenish them He told me I could come back to the lobby and refill them at the water stationLook… I hate giving bad reviews Most of mine are positive However, my recent streak with Marriott brands is making me question my loyalty!Anyway… this is a great gym with a waterless hotel with no service attached… the tacos were pretty good too…

Great new hotel Well worth the price Clean, spacious rooms with kitchen area

Lobby area served a good free breakfast While we didn’t take advantage of it, there is a very good bar with a very friendly hostess, that was very lively when I looked at 10:00pm and don’t know when it closed There were also two beer taps with good beer for free!

Brad Pesnell

Our stay was much better than we had even hoped We originally planned to stay for a few days go my daughter’s soccer tourney, but enjoyed our time there and decided to extend our stay It was clean, good breakfast, beautiful modern rooms, great shower, and the staff was very hospitable and professional

Very good hotel and very well run

Louie AG

Overall, my experience here at the Hampton Inn Suites was a good one Clean room, great breakfast, and nice view from the room The housekeepers did a great job with the room being as clean as it can be

I will still give this hotel a 5 stars since the hotel, itself, was a very nice one at that However, my only issue was the front desk receptionist I wish I had got his name so that the manager can talk to him about being more precise when it comes to booking online All I know is that he is a Latino man and he was a little rude and disorganized Anytime I check in with the Hilton hotels, I always come at 3:00pm sharp When I checked in, I got this sweet young woman who checked me in and was very precise about the pricing (even the ridiculous 24$ parking per night) and she was fairly new at her job And, the Latino man was next to her trying to inform her that she kept doing certain things wrong So, mind you, when it was time to check out, I checked out like I usually do and they usually let me know that everything is set and fine then I go on my day That same Latino man was informing me that the booking online didn’t necessarily take my card; even though, my email said I had a reservation for that day and they already charged my credit card I usually check it just in case for reasons like this He then goes and tells me that next time I should double check that and inform the front desk receptionist to other hotels to make sure that my credit card went in thoroughly in the system Like what? I never had a problem with my credit card in the past and I know it still works I never have to do that I have been to many Hilton hotels and it goes so smoothly He was trying to prove a point that didn’t make sense or was not clear Please talk to the Latino man (and I am a Latino man myself) and if I knew his name then I would of said his name, but I forgot to ask him what his name was My hotel room was perfect, but he is just awful and I needed to mention this Let’s hope my credit card was not charged twice or I will have a problem with him myself

Cathy Nicdao

Clean, organized, friendly environment and more importantly everything works I had to booked my room last minute since my first one wasn’t great I checked in, everything was explained thoroughly

The next day, I see some people cleaning the rooms, the hallways and even the people that worked at the breakfast buffet checks on the food and immediately refill it without anybody asking The turn the table around right away too Checked out was so fast and easy as well They made you feel welcome and they were all helpful My overall experience was amazing Hopefully, it’s the same treatment to all their facilities cuz I am looking forward to checking in again

Melissa Mastrangelo

Overall had a really nice stay here The room was clean, breakfast was tasty, and it was quiet on the top floor All the hotels in the area seem to charge a parking fee, so don’t forget to mention if you have a car parked

It’s $24/night which I thought was pretty steep, but it looks to be average for the area I’d recommend staying here if in the area!

I have stayed here on 3 separate occasions for business and personal reasons Once again The property, rooms, amenities and staff are all 5 star in every way The rooms are contemporary and outstanding for cleanliness and comfort

Every part of the property is maintained perfectly The front desk people, house keeping, and everyone that works here does a wonderful job They all define “fine hospitality “ Better than the Ritz or Waldorf Go out of your way to stay It’s perfect

Lena Castles

Definitely staying here again! Rooms were spacious, quiet, very clean with nice decor The bed was very comfortable Location was very convenient

Staff was friendly, although I didn’t have to go to the front desk or ask for anything from housekeeping or maintenance Whenever I walked thru the hotel, all staff greeted me and other guests I’m a Hilton Honors member and I used the app to check in and out and used the digital room key The app is great! Overall excellent stay!

Lauren Gonzalez

MAJOR thank you to Angelo (I believe that was his name) working the evening of Sunday the 10th I came in very exhausted after finding a cockroach in my room at the best western across the street at 10pm and he was so kind and helpful He was personable and very nice, and made me feel so much safer and better

The hotel is clean, modern, and easy to navigate Room was very cozy and perfect for a business traveler like myself

Jose Ruvalcaba

Summary: For the price, I would not stay here again unless there wasn’t anything available around I would have rather gone to Holiday InnCons:- Cost of parking was about $36 for inside the garage

Staff did not offer other suggestions (apparently across the street was cheaper)- Breakfast was too expensive at $26 per person for a buffet I’d rather go to a restaurant and be waited on- No microwaves in rooms- Ice machine not working- No valet because “Covid”- Floor was outdated The place needs a remodel- The patio door was heavy to open Trees blocked a potential view- No laundry room- No garbage bags in trash bins This must result in extra work for the housekeeping- Water from sink does not taste good- Swimming pool was closed during the time frame it was supposed to be open- Even credit card machine was not working at check in- Internet was not greatPros:- Friendly staff- Location Gas station across the street and freeway and shopping very close by- Starbucks in lobby- Parking is secure

Caroline Parsons O’Keeffe

A huge thank you to Carolina and Katherine for their absolutely above and beyond customer service I called from Australia to arrange a surprise birthday gift for my sister who was staying as a guest Both ladies were not only professional but kind, generous and went out of their way to make my sister’s birthday special

If I could give them 100 stars I would! Thank you so much for your hospitality

Brian Crane

The room was fantastic! The location was great! And the amenities were great as well! However, I had a not great experience with the check in staff I had booked 2 rooms on Hotel Tonight, and I thought they were both “double queen” rooms When I went to check in they only had one “double queen” available

They said the other rooms were being cleaned and that I could come back in 1-15 hrs to get it The front desk gentleman even wrote down a note I called a few hours later and they went on to tell me there were no double queens available and I feel like they didn’t work with me nor try to go any extra out of their way to see if there was some sort of compromiseOther than that, great hotel

Sandee Creager

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay for a trip that was both business and pleasure I was welcomed to my room with complimentary snacks and beverages along with a handwritten note stating I had been chosen as the guest of the day What a delightful surprise! The staff was professional, friendly and attentive

The room was very clean and the bed and bedding was extremely comfortable I appreciate all the room amenities, especially having both a mini refrigerator and a microwave, as well as a coffee maker The complimentary hot breakfast is a must for any stay! There were plenty of food options and changed day to day for variety I encountered great staff from the front desk to housekeeping to the dining area

Diana Breslin

We are sorry to have to write a review that is not positive, but we did not have a good experience It started with the front desk Checking in and out, we did not have anyone greet us, they continued to sit down and besides being unfriendly, their attitude was not one to try to accommodate us

Our key did not work when we tried to get into our room The phone in our room had another room number on it so it was confusing to try to get help to our specific room since the phone was pulled from another room evidently There was no “do not disturb” placard We had to once again go to the front desk to get our DND placard before we could leave the roomOur room itself had a leaky shower head, a torn shower curtain, low water pressure, slow sink drain, and our broken chair was replaced by another broken chairThe door to the bathroom opened into the room At night, if the door was left open to get to the restroom we would have run into the door We had to keep a light on and crack the door to use the bathroom at night The pillow were lumpy and the clock in the room still had the time from the Fall and Winter It had not been changed to daylight savings time even though it was in May that we visited the hotelLastly, the parking lot was empty but the front desk clerk said we could not have a late check out Regardless of how nice we asked She finally gave us one additional hourWe’re never going to stay at this Hampton Inn again They need a lot of work on courtesy, both from front desk personnel and staff Not once did anyone greet us with a smile or offer any kind words Their rooms need quite a bit of help as well

tabitha morales

Pro: Rooms and facility were clean upon arrival Good safe location Staff were nice

Breakfast was good Beds were comfortableCon: I asked for the bathroom shower drain to be fixed three times We could not take a shower without it filling up with gross water You can see hair clogging it in the drainThis is unsanitary and quite frankly- disgusting especially when paying $200 a nightNo housekeeping the whole week we were there I had to call for fresh towels and empty the garbage myself even after telling the staff I was leaving for the day and asking for it to be done It wasn’t so I got garbage bags and did it myself

Rooms are clean Staff is helpful Location is superior

Pool is inadequate and boring Parking is exceptional Kitchenette was perfect for our family during the 7day stay Room cards worked perfectly; unusual for many budget hotels Would highly recommend to anyone with a family or doing business All the essentials you need for working and relaxing Gas stations nearby Irvine Spectrum, Costco, Target, Home Depot, various banks, 405 & 5 & toll roads are nearby Already bragged to friends and family about this place Will definitely return here

Rosalyn Lomack

Nice hotel, a 4 is as much as I can give The thermostat was hard to keep the room comfortable Too cold at night and too warm during the day

Are room faced a office building, so we couldn’t open our curtains for natural light The breakfast omelets are gross They should toss these out and replace with something else, maybe a boiled egg option The front desk was not as friendly, as they could be and mainly men, but I guess they are doing the best they can This was my second stay The first was better than the second

Jennifer Hopkins

We had a wonderful stay at the Hampton inn Irvine Newly renovated hotel is absolutely pristine! Clean modern aesthetic, quiet, comfortable beds, quality linens and sparkling new bathroom! Staff was gracious and helpful is all aspects Super dog friendly, we brought our Goldendoodle, 70lbs, no weight restrictions just an extra room fee which we were happy to pay for our fur baby to be welcome! Thanks we’ll be back!

RiLee Andros

We loved staying here and had no issues! Room was clean and had plenty of space, beds were comfy, staff was helpful, and the breakfast was delicious As a traveler on a budget, I have stayed in a lot of Super 8s and Motel 6s, and this was a huge step up from that for a very good price The pool and jacuzzi were great, we had them to ourselves on a Sunday night and it was lovely

The breakfast was hot and delicious, and the staff stayed really on top of making sure all the breakfast items were refilled/stocked The couch in our room pulled out to be a bed, and it was not nearly as comfy as the beds, but worked great for our group of 3 adults who each wanted our own bed space Parking was easy We would definitely stay here again

Alex Hyer

I’d say everything here is pretty good There’s a pool and spa as well as a pretty good breakfast overall They deserve a solid 5 stars for service

One of our rooms had some condensation dripping from the A/C which is above the room They immediately checked on it and—when they determined they wouldn’t be able to fix it immediately—switched us to the closest room they could find without hesitation Great staff overall!

California Jones

It’s decent A bit stale smelling Breakfast was good

Won’t touch the pool or jacuzzi here but jacuzzi doesn’t look bad Room was clean Carpet was not the best; wore sandals because I didn’t trust it Shower was clean and room had a balcony Why can’t we smoke in hotels like this? It’s 2022 and they need to stop acting like the place already smells like roses(it doesn’t) Weight room open 24 hours which was Awesome and clean But the door doesn’t lock; I’d hate for my girl to go there alone… Out of the 3 25-3-star hotels in this area, this was the cheapest and feels like it

The staff was exceptional Todd was so friendly, going above and beyond to make our stay more enjoyable He recommended an excellent restaurant and suggested a beautiful place to walk where our children could enjoy the wildlife

The room was clean, breakfast was good, and this hotel is in a great location, sharing a driveway with Starbucks! I was also able to use the on-site washer/dryer (for a small fee) to take care of some laundry I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a simple and relaxing stay!

Best service ever!!! This was genuinely the best service that my family and I have ever received, not just for a hotel but any place that we’ve visited All of this is thanks to Todd! As soon as we walked in Todd made sure that we had everything we needed and really helped us get settled in He has to be one of the nicest and most amazing people I’ve ever met, I’m super grateful for all that he’s done for us in our stay

Thanks Todd!The hotel itself is super nice too, with spacious bedrooms and nice, clean bathrooms Complimentary breakfast was amazing as well!All in all, I definitely look forward to coming back to this hotel whenever I visit the area again

Room was very clean, and the hotel grounds were very nice and cleanBeds were comfortable and the sheets and pillows were great and you could tell that they were fresh and cleanThe staff was very friendly and helpful in all aspects especially Todd at the front desk

Todd went above and beyond for myself, and the 15 guest (Hockey Team) that stayed at the hotelThe staff at the hotel immediately rectified one issue I had with my room and made it right for my stayOver all this is a Holiday Inn Express You are not going to experience the amenities of a luxury resort hotel, nor are you going to pay the price of a luxury hotelThe breakfast that was included with our stay was very acceptable Hot and fresh and I can’t stress how clean the hotel is Clean hotels are the most important part of my stay and this hotel nailed itOnce again a shout out to Todd and the staff for making our stay enjoyable after traveling from Alaska

It presents a fancy place when you 1’st walk in It’s an older hotel, room needed minor fixes, we just did without Bathroom door would not lock, and sliding door track was held down with tape and came up with use

The beds are good come with 4 pillows and comfortable Nice cold fridge, but no microwave It was fine for our needs, and they accept pets at $50 a night

Susan Ranahan

About 80 women were there for a celebratory luncheon The service was outstanding and all did an excellent job attending to so many with so few The food was served hot and fresh, and the servings were not skimpy

Taste and presentation were great!There was a lot going on and timing was important The microphones worked, the table set up was lovely and it was a very enjoyable time

Brian C

Unfortunately, didn’t even get the opportunity to stay here Had a family emergency and needed a room for the night For some reason the website was allowing us to book any room, so when I called to book the room, I was quoted significantly higher than their own site

When I asked why, she said we needed to book on the site to get that price, even though I explained that the site wasn’t working Again she said we needed to book on the site and to have a nice dayclick Hopefully they will get their site working so others won’t run into the same experience

Rooms are clean and hotel is nice – unfortunately I can’t say the same for a front desk staff member who made my experience less than ideal I had been staying two nights previously and just needed one additional night I walked in said I’d like to book a room to which the night front desk clerk Informed me that he is not able to make a reservation and I would have to do it online

I thought I was being punked because I’m literally standing at the front desk of the hotel and in a less than pleasant fashion repeated “online, online, yes online” I asked for anyone else that could me and their name and number and they let me know that that person wouldn’t be here until Monday Which means they don’t have a manager Saturday and Sunday and conveniently they’re out of all the contact information for this person This really ruined my experience that was so great for the first two nights that I stayed here That’s very unfortunate And both outlets at the bed only work if the light is turned on in this room

Kevin Neuer

Nice location clean hotelStolen items from room by housekeepingDeposit wasn’t released for two weeks and 7 phone calls ( must have slipped through the cracks they said )Stay at Hilton across the road not as pretty but a comfortable clean quiet stay

Desiree Garcia

We stayed in a suite with a King size bed and whirlpool hot tub The tub was amazing and well worth the upgrade The room was clean and freshly remodeled, more modern than cozy, the bed could use a couple more pillows, and because I really liked the citrus scented soap and face wash wished there was more in the room along with a bubble bath option for the hot tub

The hotel is directly across the street from the ocean and you could walk there after complementary waffles and yummy coffee along with other breakfast options The service here is awesome, friendly and professional I’m coming back as soon as possible

Sandyy Dii

I’ll start by stating that Phil and Xandria were both so very welcoming and their hospitality outshines the sun rays on the water We stayed here for 3 days and from the views to the beautiful large rooms, were all above our expectations The rooms were clean and well kept up

Both Phil and another employee personally came to our room to make sure we did not need anything and when we did they were right on it Customer service this superior is hard to come by these days we truly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back

Dwayne Favors

Yes, this is an updated older hotel Yes, the shower isn’t as hot as you probably have at home I read reviews of every hotel in Dana Point before booking for our trip, and they all have similar good and bad

This one seemed to have the best good reviews, and I’m glad The owners are amazing, gracious hosts We got a room with a beach view, so there was no one above us, and the view was great Breakfast was typical, and not something I choose a hotel for, anyway The room was clean, but there were spots of age in the bathroom Nothing of any concern, even to my extremely picky wife (who bristled harshly when I told her we were staying at a Best Western) Even she was pleasantly surprised by the hotel All-in-all, I doubt there is a better place to stay with an ocean view in the area, so book here with confidence

My car was towed!!! It cost me $56500 to get my car out of the impound lot That was not my big frustration

My first frustration originated out of NO ONE being able to tell me why I was not contacted I registered late in one of the 7 ADA rooms I did not leave the hotel (Seven quick phone calls, asking the night crew)My second frustration originated from not finding anyone to drive me to the impound lot Not one taxi responded My husband asked a friend of his to take me the next dayMy third frustration originated from having no car and no food Did I mention I was diabetic? I mentioned this to the hotel Assistant Manager I was not even offered a protein bar—-nothing Did I mention the restaurant and bar were closed? Not only was I frustrated, I now had a headacheWould I stay here again? NOSonesta wants their guests to feel good staying at one of their properties Do I feel good? NOSonesta wants their team members to “communicate honestly” Did anyone communicate with meNO!!!Sonesta wants to be “synonymous with unrivaled hospitality” Huh????? What did you say??? Did I experience thisThis gets a HELL NO

My wife and I spent two nights in one of the beach view rooms and it was very nice and comfortable The a/c unit probably knocked out any outside noises so no complaints there We met the owner who was running the office and he could not have been more accommodating

I needed a couple bandages for a scraped foot and he gave me several Super nice guy The location is a bit of a walk from downtown but the trolley stop is not far away or the walk is pretty nice too The beach is a down a short path to a public street then some stairs down to the ocean Beach chairs and a couple boogie boards are available free to guests, a nice surprise For the price this is really a nice option and if I were to come back to Laguna this would be the first place I would check for an available room Enjoyed our stayThanks

J. Levy

really great little place The beds were very comfortable and the pillows were nice white linens

Nice towels and awesome shower wish we could have stayed a little bit longer so we could have enjoyed the beach walk but had to be in overnight and go def recommend if you need a centrally located place in Laguna Beach had fridge and microwave

Antelmo Lara

Stayed for a quick 1 day trip with the family and I have to say unbeatable price you get absolutely everything with this place, the peace the view and the spacious room that is renovated Anyone looking to stay anywhere else look no further this place is definitely a little gem PS don’t go based on how the place looks from the outside I almost looked away while booking because of it and now I know it would’ve been a great mistake

I honestly wanted to like this place I tested it out for 7 nights to see if I could tolerate living here for 2 months for work

I couldn’tCons:*Little tiny bugs everywhere in my bathroom, even when I called the front desk to have housekeeping clean it, the bugs kept coming back They were crawling around in the bathtub and on the bottom of the toilet floor The sad thing is, front desk didn’t believe me Said, “We’ve never heard about any bug issues from any rooms before so this is new”*Old place The whole place needs remodeling but I hear they are in the works of it in fall at some pointPros:*Comfortable beds- on the soft side of you like that*Soft sheet linens*Free washer and dryer use*Free parking*Large TV*Decent size kitchen*Kitchen Supplies includedOverall, it would have been better if the place looked newer and there was an absence of little black bugs in my bathroom

Tim Musa

For a 2⭐️ hotel, this was actually very nice Fairly quiet clientele The laundry facilities were free and clean (but bring your detergent since I didn’t see any in the mostly empty “pantry”

) the room itself was clean and functional The kitchenette did everything we needed, with just enough dishes to get the job done for the three of us All in all a nice find when we were in a jam with our previous hotel plan

Vincent Jacobo

The people working the office were great But the room smelled of disinfectant Loose tiles in bathroom, broken door latch on entry door, broken lock on bathroom door, chair needed to be reupholstered

First time at this hotel Wanted to be close to Lake Forest as my son lives nearby Next time I’ll stay by the airport and drive Really not a bad location or hotel just needs some pride of ownership
