Top Downtown Laguna Beach Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim Orange

8/10 Good

"The staff is awesome…I’m big on customer service and I saw almost every employee engaging with new guests & current guests. The most friendly I’ve ever been to a hotel. Cleanliness can do a little better…I walked in my hotel room & I did a quick clean & there was still a lot of dirt, someone’s old make up lipstick on doorknobs, and stickiness on counters. I understand the staff has a lot of rooms to clean but I think they should do a deep clean every 6 months or so, especially the floors since it’s carpet. My baby was walking around barefoot & her feet were black after the first 30 minutes so we just put socks on her the rest of the stay & luckily my fiance & I brought slides. AC was good, but it would shake the wall so at night you can hear it through the wall & just have to get over the sound. But the vents need cleaning…they were DUSTY! Food was great! I loved how they had options & it was easy access. The only thing…THE BED!…the beds suck…they sink in & also the pillows. I would wake up with a headache every day & my fiance slept on the couch inside & he got bit up all around his legs & arms by some bugs we found on the couch. I think I can handle everything else but I wish they would’ve had nice beds, because that is a deal breaker for me. Other than that, it’s not a bad stay…just looking for my hotel room that I can confidently know they keep up with cleanliness & update their beds."

Hotel Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The hotels since the Hilton org franchised them out has gone downhill a little bit. I've stayed at this doubletree now Fera many times and the rooms have gotten a bit older - as they would with normal wear and tear. I will continue staying here the value is wonderful for the price, if it was much higher not sure I would stay here continuously, but it is very close to places like Disneyland etc. The hotel also might be understaffed, certain requests were not met like extra towels being brought up and such and the bathroom was a bit unclean upon check in. However, I do recommend this hotel, the staff is helpful and friendly and they are doing what they can with what they have!"

Sonesta Irvine John Wayne Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We were there for five days and everyone from the front desk to the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. Great location, in terms of the airport and expressways. The restaurant prices were reasonable, given it's a hotel. Just know that the menu is limited. The one downside is that they charge you $50 a night for parking. Overall, this is a good place to stay."

ALO Hotel by Ayres, Orange

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend. The location was great - near outlet malls and Starbuck's, only two miles to downtown Orange. the pool and hot tub were clean and nice. The breakfast is terrific! We used the workout room and thought it was better than most hotel work out rooms. this is a good value price point for Southern California. We would stay here again."
