    Was able to check in early I think around 2p. Quick easy check in. Paid self parking right out front. Lots of EV charger port parking outside as well. We stayed in the one bed room with pull out sofa. The pull out sofa was small, but my two kids were able to fit. There's a mini fridge. I had previously read noise was an issue and I agree. I could hear the footsteps above us. I would get top floor if you can. Bathroom has the shampoo, conditioner body wash dispensers. Was good enough for us. There's also a little mini store in the lobby as well as restaurant but we didn't eat there. Lots of places to eat in the same plaza. Starbucks and McDonald's a short drive away too. There are entrances on each side of the building as well. Don't have to enter thru main lobby but you'll need your key card or course. They probably offer bell service but my friend found a bell cart and they were able to push belongings upstairs themselves if you want to save on tip lol I put in request to be near elevator and our friends and thankfully they were able to honor it.

    Area seems safe. You will be given a parking permit to place in your car upon checkin. Don't come in with your hands full only to go right back outside. Courtyard is always a rub for me. Most Marriott brands offer complimentary breakfast. It bothers me that they don't here and the cafe prices are not a great value for what you receive. Complimentary coffee in the lobby would go a long way. The room was clean, I did find a dirty, torn rag I think must have fallen out of the maintenance cart on my floor upon arrival, otherwise everything was great in the room. Mini fridge kept the wine cold and the AC worked perfectly. Location and proximity to parking was also excellent. Room is a bit dated, some older furnishings and side table that looked worn but everything was in working order. Mobile keys worked great here but once used, my regular room key stopped working. Door had a decent gap which I was able to partly remedy by placing a towel along the floor. Overall the experience was food, I just wish it were a bit closer to the major freeways. It's off the beaten path in a business/industrial area but was packed as the lobby was full of business travelers during the happiest hours of the day.

    AVOID. This place is terrible. $299 a night. The surprising $15 parking fee was waived. I'm suspicious that they do this every time. Not sure for what they're charging; I never saw a security officer and the spots are TINY. The entry door to the room doesn't block sound. You can hear the footfalls of people walking on the carpet with the "crunchy" padding that is in the room, as well; doors with the clunky hotel locks and handles opening and closing, and hallway conversations make it seem like the entry door isn't even there. I could hear my neighbors conversation while in the bathroom, making me rather self conscious of any sound I might make. It was clear a male and female were having a conversation. Although I am the only person renting the room, I was put in a room with an adjoining door (why would hospitality do that!?). They either rented the room or the residents came back. Seemed like there was a lady sitting by the adjoining door talking. Aspects of the room are rundown or broken. The upscale lobby is nice and makes you feel like you're in a hotel that charges $299/night, but you enter the room and it's about the same as a Motel 6 or Travel Lodge. I feel scammed. I worked a 7-hour day doing hard, manual labor. Thought I'd stay in the area rather than commute home, only to be back the next day. I should have no problem falling asleep, but it's loud here and I'm am so tired. It is a Friday, but still... Bed is very soft. Nice for those that sleep on their back, but, being a side and stomach sleeper, I felt like I was being folded. The stupidity of putting me next to an occupied room with an adjoining door has made me forget whatever pleasantries the front desk staff might have exuded. Neighbors just informed me of the Michigan women's basketball score through the door- it's tied at 80. Never mind just went to OT. Calling the front desk to move.

    The staff at this hotel has been the best thing about the Courtyard by Marriott foothill Ranch. It's a nice property. The rooms are nice the gym is amazing you'll see that my pictures the gym is fabulous for hotel gym. I had a number of issues on this day. The phone message light wouldn't shut off, so I finally had to disconnect the phone. My door lock was not working properly that caused a little bit a challenge. There was some teeny tiny refrigerator in my room, and I always travel with my food so that was a bit of a challenge, but the staff make sure that everything was great and typically the staff here is pretty amazing and all the challenges of the reason I'm giving it four stars instead of my five which I would normally give it, but it's a great local place if you're doing business or visiting in the area.

    Needed a hotel for the night and chose this one based on brand and rewards. The hotel has plenty of parking and is close to highways. Tried getting checked in and a digital key online but for some reason the app wasn't updating. Staff was friendly and helpful and we got our key quickly. The hotel is clean and either new or newly renovated. Our room was clean and everything was in good shape. The bathroom was very clean and well maintained. Really the only thing was the mini fridge was sitting on the floor and not in the dresser compartment so you could hear it going on and off. If you don't want to pay for breakfast since there is no free breakfast provided there is a Starbucks and bagel shop on the other side of the parking lot. Overall good stay and would use again

We were first greeted by Joshua who gave us a great overview of the venue and how weddings take place there. We walked the expansive site with multiple photo ops and then met up with Liz who gave us a more in depth explanation of the main ceremony and reception spot. We believe this will be where they choose to get married.

I actually love attending weddings and wish the very happy couple the best of life. Marriage is a great institution. It's right off Santiago Canyon Road and across the street from Cook's Corner Motorcycle Bar. If you have an event here on Sat or Sunday you will hear the roar not of the live zoo animals, but the Hogs (Harleys) running up and down Santiago to Cooks. It has a romantic ambiance, but you have to be okay with swatting some bees or flies from time to time. It was hard to get that bee off us eating those delicious lamb chop appetizers... The food here was catered and very good but you can ask them who they like for that. No self-parking, valet only. They will golf cart you to the action and back if you can't walk and you will get a good stair workout too. Definitely a memorable place for a small to medium size wedding or event if you want to be outside. Sundown brings a different character to the place. Many of the guests were wondering what it was like here when the animals were present? For me, my first time here last weekend for a wedding brought me full circle. I have cycled by the entrance to this place over 100 times. Santiago Canyon Road from Cooks to Jamboree is a 15 mile favorite stretch for cyclists. I used to see cars entering Rancho from time to time wondering what goes on there? Now I know...

On our very first tour/ site visit, we fell in love with this beautiful space and loved how it met all of our needs (i.e. outdoor, approx. 100 guests, and local etc), so we didn't even look at any other venues before deciding our venue. This is a very unique and beautiful hidden gem for an intimate wedding (accommodates up to 150 guests) that includes spaces for ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and getting ready. You have to essentially rent or bring everything (including bathroom trailer) but that means you have a lot of flexibilities to customize what you like/ want. The owners Laurie and Laurie Ellen (and their in-house day-of planner Katie) are so sweet and helpful in making the planning process and our wedding day as stress free as possible. All of our guests and ourselves had a good time here. Highly recommend if you're searching for a wedding or event space! (or if you're needing some plants, they have a great selection of plants lol)

Even after we were set up and ready to call it a day, I wanted to stay. This place is full of charm. If you are a fan of succulents, then you will be in the closest place to succulent heaven. This venue is also a thriving nursery full of every succulent you can imagine. I wanted to buy them all. The plant life is beautiful here, and the staff is equally friendly. Laurie Ellen is a true professional, hard working, and just happens to be a people person. There are no shortage of places for photos. No doubt, your guests will be in for a treat. If you are looking for a venue to get married or have a special event, then look no further. The property is beautiful, unique, and is a hidden treasure of Orange County.
