Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel"

Best Western Capistrano Inn

4/10 Poor

"The photos are very dated and misleading. This property is being used as long term rentals and has residents. There are pets, smells of cooking, and residents who find it funny to put peanut butter on door handles. I'd urge management to view cameras, but I'd doubt they're operational. Our bathroom door was so rotten and water logged it wouldn't shut. The bath itself was moldy with little hot water or pressure, the shampoos that weren't attached to the walls but sitting in the corners smelled like gasoline. The rug throught our room was so tired, stained and fraying I wore my shoes the entire time. The real test was a piece of bread that was in the stairway, it sat there for 3 days during our stay without housekeeping picking it up. I really can't make these things up. Hats off to the pest company though, no animals or bugs dragged the bread away. My advice, unless you absolutely have to stay here, don't."

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

2/10 Terrible

"The hotels location is about the only thing it has going for it. The price you have to pay to be in a construction zone is more than it is worth the staff minus the valet staff was something you would expect from a motel 6 and charged the price of staying at a ritz Carlton which I would choose if rather than be placed from one inadiquite room to another. The rooms are crammed together and the size was that of a closet. Anyone thinking of this Marriott should consider otherwise and I’m extremely dissatisfied with the overall experience. I hope that they will get their act together as I enjoy most every Marriott stay I have had."
