Laguna Hills Lodge

8/10 Good

"Things were a bit shabby on the edges_molding missing, door stuck, toilet too close to wall_ but by-in-large a pleasant experience."

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

8/10 Good

"The night staff was extremely helpful. We came in pretty late and she helped me with obtaining the item I forgot to bring and it was free. Breakfast was hot and was served in large portion. The pool was clean and quiet. We were right next to the pool area."

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point

8/10 Good

"The location is nice because the hotel is right in front of the beach, although access to beach entry is still a little ways down. I stayed in the 1 bedroom suite with an ocean view and the room was like a little 1 bedroom suite apartment. It was comfortable and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen even had plenty of dishes and some cookware. The only downside is that it can use some very needed updates and repairs. The sofa in our room was very dated and not very clean. It was comfortable to sit on but I did feel the need to put a sheet over it as sitting directly on the stained cloth felt uncomfortable. The balcony sliding door does not lock, So for small children this may be a problem. But overall it was a nice relaxing room and area."
