Laguna Hills Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"LOVED THIS! This place is smack dab in the middle close to everything! The pool is refreshing and clean, the spa hot but not too hot. Property is BEAUTIFUL and well maintained with ample parking. I didnt eat the breakfast provided since I overslept lol but my mother said it was great and convenient. Keep in mind its continental. Ac runs cold, bed was good, shower and bathroom clean. Went with family 3 adults two queens. Really all you need is this place and you will feel safe and especially if you are visiting laguna beach stay here its close enough to not have to long to drive I think it was around 18 min drive and also far enough you dont have to deal with being price gouged."

Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa

10/10 Excellent

"A really nice hotel, was here for a conference, so I was able to see the facilities in the lower floors as well as for overnight stays. No big complaints. Clean rooms, nice staff. The fridge in my hotel room made a very high-pitched noise at times which was a little annoying but easy to ignore, and the only negative was incredibly overpriced snacks in the little lobby store instead of a vending machine. All in all, would stay again without issue - though I might opt to run across the street for a can of Coke if I needed one!"

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff and the hotel are great - but there is a lot of construction - and the pricing was outrageous for the festival (1200 to 1500 per night) - even though much of the hotel was blocked off and construction ongoing. That said, there was still a pool open (and it was great) as well as some great restaurants - but I do think they should have offered much cheaper rates during construction as you could still hear it during the day, so it wasnt quite as relaxing. Looking forward to when it is all finished."
