Convenient location with good service.

We stay a few times a year when we need to go to CA. It is a comfortable hotel. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Breakfast is nourishing and included as is the parking. The hotel is convenient to the toll road and there are dining options close by.

My go-to hotel in Lake Forest

This will always be my go-to hotel when visiting the Lake Forest/Mission Viejo area. The people who work at this hotel in every function are wonderful, the best!

Great small hotel! Friendly service, nice spacious clean rooms. We loved the cookie at check in! Breakfast was just ok. I’ve stayed at many Holiday Inn Express hotels and this was not my favorite. The fried eggs were kind of rubbery, the pancake machine was broken, and there weren’t a lot of bread options BUT I’m still super grateful for a free breakfast and it was very clean. Overall a great experience and we would stay here again!
