Hotels in Lake Forest, CA

“The rooms are clean as well as the entire hotel. A variety of food for breakfast with Kerig coffee makers. I loved the down -like pillows and comfortable beds. The linens were cozy.The staff is friendly and customer service oriented.”

“Best hotel experience I've had in a while. Beautiful and well maintained hotel. Big comfortable and clean rooms. Good breakfast and even dinner and drinks are included Mon-Wed. Every staff member was friendly.”

“Very clean place. Seems to be fairly new. Breakfast was typical of this chain. I would gladly stay here again. It's convenient to the freeway and several local restaurants.”

“It’s in a great location near some restaurants. Down the street is an Albertson’s to get some groceries because this room comes with a kitchen and a full size fridge and freezer. The room was clean and had fresh towels and sheets. Service was great too but my only complaint is the free breakfast had a small selection of hot foods. Other than that it was perfect.Food & drinks: They have a bar inside the hotel and the drinks were very good and the service was great.”

“Lovely hotel in the midst of orange county. Close to the beaches, close to UCI and UCSD. Rooms are spacious and the service was lovely. Thank you for an amazing time.Rooms: Clean and big.”

“We had a quick overnight stay and the hotel did its job just fine. Would recommend and try again if needed. There is a restaurant and bar on site but we ate off site. Most of the guests seemed to be business travelers so the hotel is quiet. Easy access off the freeway too.”

“We really like this hotel in Lake Forest. We've been here a few times. It's very clean. The employees are courteous. The daily breakfast is nice. It's location is central to many amenities. There are several restaurants across the street and shops just down a few blocks. Easy freeway access. We highly recommend this location.”

“This is our 3rd week at Sonesta Lake Forest and I can only recommend it.As I knew we would be staying here for a month, I wanted a place that’s quiet and comfortable. The neighborhood is nice and safe, some fast food restaurants are 2 blocks away and the nearest grocery store is just a 5-min drive (30 min walk).The rooms are very clean and spacious with new furniture and carpet. We are staying in a King Suite (one bedroom), both the living room and bedroom has a TV with lots of channels (even HBO) and USB, HDMI outlets in case you want to connect your laptop to them. Wifi is fast, I have video calls every day from my room and it always works fine.The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, there is no oven but the stovetop, microwave oven, toaster, coffee and tea maker, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, plates, cups, bowls, pans and pantry cabinets are enough to make meals and feel like you’re in an apartment, not a hotel room.The bed is comfortable, the bathroom suprisingly big with a tub, they even have body wash, shampoo and conditioner so you don’t need to buy/bring your own.The gym has several machines and laundry is $3 through an app, which isn’t that expensive. You can request which day you want your weekly housekeeping (they do a great job!), and you can get clean towels and sheets any time at the front desk. The staff is amazing, Chris, Alrich, Alex, Vivi and the others are all very friendly and always helpful.Money saving tip: as in every hotel, there are taxes you have to pay, but ask about pricing directly from the hotel for your dates, they may have better prices or discounts than on other sites.As you can tell, I’m enjoying staying at this place, you won’t find a better, safer, cleaner and still affordable extended stay hotel in OC!”

“I was very worried after reading these reviews. I was swayed by my pocketbook. It's difficult finding a hotel for 2 adults, 4 kids and 2 large dogs. We also had 2 cars and most hotels in Orange County charge for daily parking. I came into this hotel with very low expectations. It is a Best Western and I have Diamond status. The gentleman who checked me in acknowledged my status with a gift bag. He also apologized profusely for the pet fee. I knew going in the policy for their pet fee. $30/ day wasn't that bad. However, what it didn't say on the website was that it was per pet so I did end up paying 60 per day which I did not contest at the end of my stay. The only hiccup I had during the stay was that I asked for a blanket. The front desk said he'll send it up. After an hour or more I called down asking for the blanket. He said it'll be 10 minutes. I didn't get it for another 45 minutes. The next day the body wash dispenser ran out and I called for that. They came within 30 minutes. I don't feel this was a deal breaker for me. The price I paid was a great value for this place. The exterior of the building was well manicured. The room was clean. The heater was working. We had a balcony with no view but it gave us fresh air. There was a coffee machine in the lobby that serves mocha, espresso and cappuccino. The breakfast was plenty and varied. There were even toppings for the waffles. The gym had a brand new Peloton. There was a large business Center. The lobby was clean . I can go on and on. I think those with negative reviews need to remember that you get what you pay for. You can pay double and stay across the street at Hampton Inn or Homewood Suites (I have elite status there as well) but might still find problems over there. I find that this hotel is the best value and best location. It is close to Laguna Beach, restaurants and malls.”

“I stayed here and it was fine, there's a good amount of parking. Everything in the room was working. It wasn't too busy when I was here. I recommend this place if you need a room in Lake Forest.”

“Very nice place. Looks to have been remodeled. Rooms are good size. Lots of modern decor. Bed was very comfortable. Will stay here again. Only negative was we thought breakfast was till 10, it was 9. We got our food but the person started putting things away before everyone had left. They usually don't do that.”
