I’ve stayed here before. This time I had some hiccups. Had a double booking for the same day. I also had a courtyard room but had a live bug in my bed. The front desk got me another room right away but I found hair on the pillows and what looked like to be with another bug in the corner of the bed in the new room or a bunch of hair balled up. Either way not okay for what I pay a night

We were in a patio room which was nice. The bed and linens are comfortable. Very spacious room, breakfast was good. It's a quiet area however we could hear people in the room next door one night until quite late. The other 2 nights we stayed were fairly quiet.
Pool area is nice.It was good to have a shopping center and starbucks nearby. Bus stop that takes you to Laguna Beach is very close by. There is no shuttle to the airport.
Overall it was a good stay.

We had no problem with the WiFi. It was a hot OC day so we were looking forward to taking a refreshing dip in pool. The pool temperature was as hot as the jacuzzi. Staff said it had a mind of its own. We had to ask for towels as there were no clean pool towels in either outside location. We decided to eat outside for dinner in seating area by pool but had to have staff clean up breakfast dishes that were left outside along with trash.

Very nice hotel close to Laguna Woods Village. Room was well furnished and comfortable, lacking only a mini-safe. Staff excellent. Our room had a problem with the window and after maintenance was unable to resolve it, they changed rooms for us promptly. Excellent breakfast and friendly service at the breakfast buffet. Highly recommend the Ayres Hotel for anyone staying in the area!

Fourth stay here in five months and this is the first stay that was not Excellent. I love this hotel, location is great, good hot tub, really excellent breakfasts and happy hour. One of my favorite things is to have breakfast and happy hour by the outdoor fireplace and it was not working at all. This despite three trips to the front desk where they assured me, it was working and would be turned on immediately. Last day there, the Wi-Fi kept dropping and the in-room phone did not connect to the front desk to get help. When I bring up an issue, the staff is cordial and helpful, but it was so odd that they couldn’t get the fireplace working or tell me what was actually going on. I’ll be back because it’s convenient for visiting family…..

I’ve always had a good experience at Ayres (usually the Seal Beach location). This one had the same nice-sized room, but a couple of times the apparent pipe noise from another room sounded like someone learning to play the trombone. And the shower flow was weak. Other than that all good.

Our disappointment was with the room itself. The heater/air conditioner had terrible odor, the pillows and room itself smelled odd, and the floor was so sticky we had to wipe it down with towels. Updates or a deep clean is needed.

The room was not cleaned well. There was sand on the floor from whoever stayed there before us. We ended up having sand in our beds and our feet were filthy. It was very noisy our first night because there were a lot of people attending a wedding the next day. We’ve stayed here before and this time the class of people staying there, were not polite at all. Their kids had very fowl mouths when my 2 grandkids were swimming. The adults were just sitting by the pool and drinking alcohol.
There was also another couple there and it look like a trafficking situation. He was at least in his 50’s and she was under 18 for sure. He watched every move she made. It was pretty strange.
We will not be staying at this hotel again, and I love Ayers hotels, but this one is off my list now. The staff at the desk were not personable at all. I asked for a later check out and they gave us to 12:00 noon or we would be charged. We stayed at 2 other Ayers hotels on our trip and the staff was very polite and accommodating. The staff were great at those hotels and the rooms were clean. We stayed at the Ayers hotel in Carlsbad/Vista and had no problem with sand in our room or anywhere else.

Very Shady feeling creepers hanging out in the parking lots everywhere in their cars in the parking lots. Smelly rooms. Coffee is horrible. Skip Laguna Woods Ayres and go to the one in Mission Viejo. Leaps and bounds better. Very unfriendly and dont really care about their customers unless they are old and I’m 55 plus.

My husband and I were in room 114, which was lovely with a comfortable bed. The only problem with the room is that every time the outside exit door would close it was extremely loud in our room, due to a shared wall. I would not recommend that room for that reason.
The breakfast was extensive, with omelettes, cereal, and fruit offered, along with tea and coffee. We wished that there were some gluten-free bread options, but we should’ve known and brought our own, along with alternative milk because of lactose intolerance.
The hotel is in a very nice location in Aliso Hills. Overall, a good day. Very friendly front desk, people.

OK… I never rate any hotels or resorts that I have stayed at. But I will for this one.
The rooms are large clean, and the whole hotel is super functional. This is what I mean… Washer and dryers available on the second and third floor, gorgeous little pool, Jacuzzi, fitness center with all the equipment you need to get a quick workout, little fireplace in the lobby.. so cozy and relaxing with a daily breakfast. Now this is not continental style breakfast, they literally make your eggs any style fresh, and you can make your own little waffles. Super amazing hotel with with a affordable rate great… staff… super friendly and the property is well maintained. Granted it’s not a five star hotel but honestly, it gives five star vibes. Had a great day thank you so much.!

We like staying in this hotel, but this time we had two issues -
There were signs everywhere on property that the Holiday Breakfast times are 7-10am. When we came for a breakfast at 9:15am on December 31st, we were told that it closed at 9am. My child wasn’t even offered milk. Disappointing.
Second, we were told the pool was heated - it was not heated and we couldn’t swim. Jacuzzi was fine. Room is comfortable.

I only stayed for one night. The tv’s in the entire hotel were. It working. The cable guide would come in but once a channel was chided a “locked” message would appear. I was told the cable company was aware and working on it. Most likely it was a problem because of the rain. That’s ridiculous. My friends parents live a 5minute walk away and there was no problem.. it was quite in convenient as there was no option to even stream or use apps. Really irritating and the excuse was irritating as well. They offered a 10% discount. What is that? Nothing. I came back early to relax and watch tv on my own and sleep. I only had one night. Had I known, I never would have stayed at that hotel. The excuse of weather was totally lame as well as the cable guide came on no problem and it was pretty clear the knew and that the cable was not coming in any time that evening or morning. I do not recommend this hotel. A 10% discount is laughable as well.

Hotel was in great location, rooms are nice and quiet. A constant experience with staying at the Ayres location(s) is that everything is managed by a third party - whether you have problems with parking charges, washing machine payment, etc.. if there is a problem, the customer is told to call the third party and rectify it themselves, which is poor service after spending money on the stay on the property as a whole.

I was really surprised. I stayed at this hotel during the same period last year, and coincidentally it was the same room.
Last year, I complained through this column. It was inconvenient because the bathroom shower in the room was not fixed. Surprisingly, a year later, I found out that I was staying in the same room during my stay last week, and I immediately checked the bathtub shower, oh my god! It was as it was. It was still unfixed. Isn't it really amazing.
I stay at the Ayres hotel every time I visit California. But the composition of breakfast was the same as a year ago. The world is changing and developing, but this hotel remained the same.
It just got old as if time had stopped. Most of these hotel-level hotels in the United States have the same breakfast. The hard work of the restaurant staff putting it on the plate(?) Only what has changed.
This also seemed to be an event to get a tip, and it didn't look kind at all. It was annoying that they were talking loudly all the time during the meal. I only felt bitter at the hotel where the passion of not trying was dead. Most of the front desk staff were kind.
I promise not to stay here again.
