Front desk person was pleasant upon check-in. There were to be two of us staying at this location, each with our own suite, but they had tested positive for COVID 6 days prior and remained home. The door to the room was extremely heavy and no door wedge was available to prop open the door while bringing in the luggage. Two employees were passing and held the door when I was entering. Leaving was another issue. I had requested assistance in my requests sent by the hotel. Nothing I had requested was provided. The entrance to the hotel is through a shopping center and the door is not marked. I had taken Lyft to the hotel and my driver parked, carried in my luggage after finding the entrance. As no one assisted with my two bags and were able to give me the grand tour, I had to troubleshoot the lights at midnight. A cheat sheet would have been helpful. I had requested housekeeping, for removing wet towels and emptying the trash. No one came. Breakfast was mediocre on Sunday, the one morning I had time to try the buffet. There were a a few hot dishes which looked meh, bread and bagel, small chunks of fresh pineapple and apples. Juices, coffee, teabags, waffle maker. No desserts of any kind, which was surprising. Breakfast sweet rolls would have been a good addition. I had brought teabags along and used them in my room. Paper plates, plastic cutlery and paper cups without sleeves for hot beverages is tacky for a Marriott hotel. Recommend staying elsewhere in Lake Forest, as there is an abundance of hotels within a few blocks.

What lovely hotel and wonderfully priced. Close to many restaurants walking distance, and there's a Starbucks around the corner. They serve daily buffet style breakfast, although nothing extravagant. They have a small gym that has everything you need in it. Courteous staff and friendly service. I'm definitely coming back here again.

Very narrow room but it was spotless and brand spanking new.

So this hotel is located in a shopping center which seems a little odd but it's not a bad thing. There are tons of restaurants of every type of food imaginable just steps away. That's a huge positive. Underground, gated parking is available although I suppose you could park for free in the shopping center lot. I wouldn't do it. The room was spotless and very quiet. It was a little on the narrow side, almost strangely narrow. The bathroom was large and the walk-in closet was enormous. The hotel is very new, which is always a good thing. However, I suspect they, like so many businesses, have staffing issues. There was trash in the garage and in the stairwell. The trash was there when we arrived and was still there when we left. Service was very friendly and efficient. A complimentary hot breakfast is included. There are eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, cereal, fruit, yogurt, bagels, etc. It's pretty darn good. My only knock is the trash in the common areas. Let's face it: humans are pigs and happily litter whenever and wherever. But I'd happily stay here again.

This was our first time staying at this hotel in Orange County and we will definitely stay here again. It's our fault we did not check to see if they had a pool or a restaurant and they do not. However, there are plenty nearby. Within the same parking lot as the hotel, are about six different restaurants that range to fit everyone. The hotel rooms are spacious, clean, and provide everything you could possibly want or need whether you're staying with a family or solo on a work trip. There's a desk in each room, fridge, microwave, and a TV that you can view from the beds, desk, or the cute little living room off to the side. Breakfast is served in the morning and I believe goes until 10 AM. We were there at 9:30 and it was still packed and being stocked. It is very basic, but includes eggs, potatoes, yogurt, fruit, cereal, and a bagel sent her with all the fixings. The staff is super nice and accommodating and again I can't stress how clean this place is! They also have laundry on site and it takes quarters. Do not rely on the front desk for quarters. They did not have any this time 'round. I was advised to check back afternoon.

Television didn't work.  Was not loading picture.

This Springhill Suites is new and clean, but needs to work out the smaller problems. -Upon check-in, they had 2 reservations for our family. Original reservation was under one family member's name, but we had called to tell them another family member within our party was going to check-in first. They created a whole new 2nd reservation for our family while the original reservation still existed. That had to be cleared up. We were one family with one reservation for one room. -The television did not work. When it was turned, screen said "Please Wait...". Nothing was loading. Reported on 1st day. 2nd day, person came in & said it was a weak WiFi signal. We complained again & 3rd day, it was fixed. -The thermostat had a fan option. Whether turning it on or turning it to the "off" position, fan never turned on. Air conditioner would go on, but once it reached the desired temperature, it would click off. With no air movement, room got stuffy. So, we would turn on the air conditioner just to get the air movement, would be feeling cold in the room. Asked the front desk & they said that was how the hotel was built. -The glass shower door in our room was not closing all the way. It was leaving a huge gap open. After each shower there would be leaked water outside of the shower on the floor. Had to put rolled towels on the floor to prevent puddles on the bathroom floor. -Water temperature in the shower was just lukewarm. It was like taking cold showers. Turned the handle all the way to Hot & only lukewarm water. Had goosebumps while taking a shower since it was so cool. Complained to the front desk & they said they would turn on another water heater to increase the temperature. After that, water was warmer, but it would be nice to still be a little warmer. Conveniently located with lots of restaurants options around. Secure underground parking! Not too far from freeways. Think this is a great place, but they need to fine-tune and work out the kinks since it is only a few months old. Hoping for better experience the next time we stay here.

Stay Away Bugs were found in the shower and carpets. Day time staff is rude and has committed the unthinkable. Location of on a very busy street & is quite noisy. I had my valuables and cash stolen from my Suite whole getting my nails done. I

Nice place to stay. I came here for a business trip and this place was awesome. I loved the room decor, the setup, how spacious the room was, its front desk, its private parking lot, and many more. But I didn't like the limited amount of amenities it had. And I didn't like the dim lighting that the room had, I had a hard time trying to work inside my room. Hope the hotel reads this review and improve its lighting because it was very noticeable!

The rooms are not great and the thin walls are a huge issue. But it's a tough call considering how much I love this area.

We've stayed at five different hotels in the Lake Forest/Laguna Hills/Aliso Viejo area, and this one wins hands down. It's easy to get to from the I-5 and I-405. It's near lots of shopping centers with grocery stores if you need anything. Staff are friendly and efficient. The rooms are comfy and roomy and we love having our own kitchen for cooking and reheating food. There's a full-size fridge with freezer, two-burner inset cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, pots and pans, dishes and bowls, two knives, towels and dish soap, cutting board, and silverware. The chef's knife is super dull but we still used it. They also allow you to get a free breakfast from their dining room AND the adjoining Hampton Inn's dining room. Lots of great hot and cold choices! Recently, I got jasmine rice and carnitas, and my hubs got a Western omelette with a flour tortilla and salsa. Delish! Kudos to the management and the cooks for giving us such good food options. We visit South OC a few times a year, and next time we do, we will stay again at Homewood Suites!

We were placed in a room next to the elevator the first night. After a few minutes in the room, we discovered the toilet wouldn't stop running. We stepped out of the room into a cloud of pot smoke, descended the elevators, and told the front desk person about the toilet /pot smell. He apologized for the experience and said that he was unable to assist us with moving rooms as they were sold out. He promised to "comp" us for the night and assured us there would be rooms available the next night. We specifically requested a room away from the elevators. The walls are also thin, so we heard our neighbors tv until the middle of the night. We didn't sleep. A manager called during the day and offered a subpar percentage of points to compensate for the lost night of sleep, which was not a "comp" at all. We arrived back at the hotel for the second night and were terribly disappointed to find that we were once again next to the elevators in a much smaller room than the first night. The desk person, who was very casually clad, was not professional or understanding regarding our experience. We were told again that they were sold out and none of the rooms were available. False promises, disappointing/unprofessional communication, and an overall sleepless experience. The price is decent and bedsheets are clean. The experience was not great and I would not recommend this hotel .

We partook of tasty chicken wings, salad, and assorted fruit at the Thursday night social. We truly appreciated the entire staff!

Upon check in, we were greeted and welcomed as IHG Rewards members. There was also someone who was asking to be switched rooms because apparently they were having issues with their toilet. Staff were professional and offered various solutions which was great to see, especially in the face of someone who didn't seem to want to accept the solutions offered. Nonetheless staff maintained professional. When we got to our room it was clean and a good size. We also ate breakfast which had a nice variety and a lot of seating in the lobby. The hotel also doesn't charge for parking which is nice and is located close to a various eateries and shops. A few things to improve is definitely the bed. Usually hotel beds are not an issue for me but the bed was not comfy at all or the couch bed. In addition I didn't experience the same toilet issue as mentioned by a previous guest but I could tell the toilet needed some service in our room. In short the water pressure seemed low which caused us to have to flush 2-3 times. Maybe it's an issue overall at this property I don't know. We would stay here again if in the area. The price was also good for being a Staybridge suites.

I wish the Management staff would place placards throughout the hotel, in the elevators, etc. that quiet time is from X until X. This will hopefully encourage parents to keep better watch of their kids. Here are my thoughts and observations: [GOOD]: - Friendly staff - Rooms and property are generally clean - Fresh coffee available 30 minutes before breakfast is a nice touch - Micro market is well stocked - Full-size refrigerator is appreciated (not a small dorm-style unit) - Sturdy, comfortable oversized computer chair (for us fluffy people) - Housekeeping air freshener smells pleasant and isn't overpowering [BAD]: - Guests often leave used towels and trash bags in the hallways, making it inconvenient to pass. More frequent patrols by housekeeping could prevent this - Requested towels and washcloths with the front desk were never delivered (after several hours) - People smoking near entrances/vents needs better enforcement and/or clearer signage [UGLY]: - We're light sleepers and requested a top-floor (5th floor) room in advance. Malika told us one would be available at 4pm, but upon arrival just after 4pm, there was no record of this request and the guy who checked us in said that she had already left for the day, but would look into what happened as he is on the Mgt staff. - We ended up being placed on the 4th floor next to a loud party that lasted past midnight - Although the front desk said they would address the noise when we called around 10pm, it didn't improve--more proactive follow-up (like checking the floor) would help
