Top Downtown Laguna Beach Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Select Laguna Hills Irvine Spectrum

10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel! Very clean and friendly"

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff at check in and throughout our stay; traveled as a group of four and had four separate rooms for a 2 night stay. The rooms were huge!! Loved that the rooms had a micro, fridge, dishes if u Needed it, coffee maker, a separate sitting area, two tvs, a couch, in room safe. Outdoor heated pool and hot tub! Separate lounge area with umbrellas and a fire pit. Air Conditioning was perfect. The entire area was secure only way to access the property was with your room key. Parking was tight but sufficient. The breakfast in the morning was great! Cold cereal, orange juice, and/or breakfast freshly made: 2 pancakes, sausage, potatoes and eggs! The coffee was just ok…..no flavored creamer. You had the choice of dining in the breakfast area or taking it to go :). Mexican restaurant “Spoons” walking distance great food n drinks. Mobil gas station within walking distance as well for late night snacks and such. Not too far from Disneyland. Overall I would stay here again!"

Ayres Hotel Orange

8/10 Good

"The size of the rooms are what makes this hotel. Its super clean super friendly staff. The hot tub button is broken. The only negative I have is the breakfast had gone down hill over the years. The scrambled eggs 2 out of 3 nights we stayed were a gritty sponge mess. The sausage is gross bacon paper thin pancakes thin no flavor."
