The photos give the impression of a lush property. Instead only one section is like the photos. It’s a motel and our entire room view being the parking lot with our car just outside the window.
The floors were dirty. My socks were filthy so it had not been wet-mopped.
It’s was a very basic room but the beds were SO comfortable and the blankets/linens/pillows were perfect.
The windows kept the room nicely dark for sleeping.
The shower/toilet room was separate from the vanity and sink which is a plus because it allows two people to get ready without steam from the shower.
We got in from the airport and were on a schedule but the room was delayed in being ready.
The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful.
They have a great location and the price is competitive.

Older facility but maintained well. Not too far from airport and close to Laguna beach. Free parking, park outside your room location. I had a rental car but Ubered to Laguna beach. About a $20-$30 Uber (July 2026) to the heart of Laguna beach, if one doesn't want the hassle of finding parking. The Motel is in a nice neighborhood, I consider it a Motel rather than the 'Lodge', however there is a nice garden setting around the buildings. A place to stay and get good rest, not necessarily a chill-out Lodge type of setting. Breakfast was average hotel fare, no waffle or pancake self service machines. Breakfest amenities were nothing to write home about but nice to have on premises and a great cost benefit for a light eat-&-go breakfast. Rooms were clean and housekeeping services available if requested via door hanger style. Housekeeping did well, forgot to replenish fresh towels one time. Air conditioning was old style but functional, and loud, typical old-school, and kept the room cool enough on a rare the rare hot spell in CA at the time of my visit. I will stay there again.

The lobby was extremely clean and the front desk staff was extremely helpful. We were able to check in early for our room. The room seemed clean however there was missing paint, outdated electrical, the bath tub had rust all over in it. The air conditioner worked good but kept shutting off from time to time and we kept having to reset it. The beds are on wheels so they kept moving on the hard wooden floor very easily. We had a double bedroom and it was very small compared to other hotel rooms we have stayed in. Very little walking space compared to the bed sizes. We did enjoy the free breakfast that was onsite- pastries, cereals, juices, scrambled eggs and sausage.

I liked the location if the place. On the initial appearance the place looks clean and grounds well kept. The staff seemed friendly. The disappointing part was the room I stayed in had several mosquitoes that made it annoying to continue shipping g them away as they buzzed overhead while you tried to sleep.

Also, most of the night I felt something bitting my ankles, rest, arms, etc. Again, it was very hard to sleep with this annoyance. I felt the bed may have had bedbugs in it.

I reported this to the front desk upon my exit. Even the staff commented how they too were bitten often by mosquitoes in the reception/lobby area. The location is a very desirable area, the hotel sleeping accommodations needs to represent that area.

I was attracted to the area and renting the place because of the price, but it was not even worth the low price is you can't even sleep well.

Check in starts at 3:00 per the website. We got there at 3:50 to find out that the room wouldn’t be ready for at least 30 minutes. We had a dinner that we had reservations for. So, we really needed the room. After a while, they were able to get us another room, but it was not garden view. I now realized that I paid much more for garden view than the standard view. I should really receive a credit for the difference. Also, the room tv remote didn’t work. After being on hold for 10 minutes regarding, the call dropped off.

The property looks nice from the outside. But then you go to your room, it looks run down and old (not in a good way), the decor was awful, one wall painted very dark, the room felt dark and dingy.
it seems that most hotels have amenities like body wash, lotion, shampoo and conditioner. They had one very small bottle of body wash and a mini bar of soap. That’s it! Also 2 of us staying for 2 nights and only 3 bath towels.

They had a minimal breakfast, scrambled eggs and sausage, apples and bananas, maybe cereal. They had signs up that said take only I serving, be courteous to others. I have never seen that before. The coffee was decent.
We never used the pool, when we arrived it was closed for maintenance, but opened later.

It was ok because we were there for a family event and didn’t spend much time in the room (I hate dark gloomy rooms)!

We didn’t really eat breakfast there, we got coffee and went to a local French pastry shop.

When we returned (at 3:30 pm and check in should have been at 3 pm) they still didn’t have a room until 4 pm. That was a little upsetting. One of the young ladies at the front desk was helpful in making sure to we were accommodated.

The rooms were clean and the staff was very helpful. The breakfast was a nice touch and I didn't have a chance to try out the pool, but it looked nice. The main challenge was that the doors and windows didn't offer much sound insulation, so whenever someone walked past the room, I could hear every word of their conversation. I would definitely stay again, and next time I'll ask for a room that is towards the end of the property with fewer passersby.

The location was great. Upon checking in the Staff members were very young and language used was not For front staff etiquette the usage of “Bro” was not acceptable . Then upon going to our room there were not towels or toiletries I called the front desk and stated was I suppose to bring my own. She stated I tell housekeeping to. Bring to you at 7:00 am. That was not going to do me any good at 6:00 pm for a shower that nite . She then stated you can come to front desk and get some if you like. Customer service not the greatest. Very disappointed after reading such great reviews. Then had some car trouble had to call a tow truck. Asked front desk if they could keep an eye out and direct to back part of bldg felt like I disturbed him from whatever he was doing sitting down behind desk. My stay was not great hate to say .

However, there are few things that we noticed that needs improvement: please replace worn out white sheets & pillow cases, repair wobble beds, paint over or replace chipped nightstand, and provide 2 courtesy bottle water.

My room was clean and comfortable. The decore is old and dark. The refrigerator was noisy. My door this time like other times was sagging at the top and dragging at the bottom on the carpet. While clean my room was filled with many chips, dents, and dings.

The whole exterior of the property needs to be seriously powerwashed including the interior stair wells. The ice machine was leaking water on the floor every day. There must be 300 pieces of old gum on the sidewalks throughout the complex.

The complimentary breakfast is meager at best. While eggs are always included, they are not fresh cracked eggs.

The garden is very nicely planted.

There are yellow plastic garbage containers everywhere. The tops of all of them have multiple black burn marks from the days of people stubbing out their cigarettes. It's unsightly. The property has been non-smoking for a long time.

The property needs some serious attention as they are cutting too many corners on cleaning and maintenance. But if you are not bothered by these details and can get a room at a good discount, go for it.

The location is excellent with many stores and restaurants nearby.

It was an ok stay, may main concern was the parking space.
One of the nights when coming back to the hotel late at night- we couldn’t find parking. There was no available spaces anywhere we had to drive around at least three times eventually, we went inside the office and asked for Assistance. The gentleman at the counter just recommended to park at another lot which wasn’t part of the hotel. We didn’t feel comfortable doing that. I think that that’s a major issue if your parking space does not accommodate the amount of guests you have.

We enjoyed our stay at Laguna Hills Lodge much more than we expected. I was initially a little nervous because the staff did not seem very approachable during check-in, but thankfully that first impression did not reflect the rest of our experience.
The property is beautiful, with vibrant flowers, lush landscaping, and a peaceful, oasis-like atmosphere. It ended up being one of our favorite hotel stays in a long time.
The location was fantastic. We were close to Laguna Beach, Crystal Cove, and several restaurants, including In-N-Out, Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane’s, and Farmer Boys. Traveling with a 7- and 10-year-old, I felt safe walking with them to these restaurants, and the hotel was visible from most of them. We loved being close to everything while avoiding the beach traffic and noise.
Our room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel felt safe throughout our stay. We also appreciated having access to Netflix on the TV, which made evenings easier with kids.
The pool, landscaping, and overall atmosphere honestly made us enjoy this property more than some Best Western and Hilton stays we've had. The only downside was the breakfast. While there were some good cereal options, the selection and quality were not appealing to my picky 7-year-old or to me as an adult.
Despite that, everything else was wonderful. I would absolutely recommend Laguna Hills Lodge to families looking for a clean, safe, relaxing, and conveniently located place to stay.
