Our only problem was that on our last night the room was not cleaned when we returned at 5 pm. It took 2 calls to the front desk to get maid service

Check in person was excellent. Our room was not yet ready when we arrived. She patiently looked for accommodation options to try to provide us an upper level room. She held our luggage while we enjoyed the pool, and when our room was ready - she upgraded us to an Executive Suite! Whole stay was awesome. The pool, locker room, and pool staff were also exceptional.

Loved the gym, our room, restaurant, and close proximity to Ohana Fest for our anniversary weekend. Clean, modern facility with comfortable bed, spacious room, friendly staff, and gorgeous gym. We dined outside by the huge pool/ spa and enjoyed the weather and some sports playing on the outdoor TV. Love Renaissance ClubSport! We’ll book again soon.

Great hotel with a bar, coffee shop, incredible gym with pool. Staff was nice friendly and what you would expect from a nice hotel. Parking was $35 per night which seemed like a nice add-on revenue generator for the hotel. But the price of the room was a great deal so it evened out. Overall i would reccomend this hotel and i would certainly stay there again.

The hotel looks super new. The big perk is that you have access to a state of the art gym with olympic heated pool and all kinds of classes. The room was big and was super clean and there was a fridge for our left overs. Staff was very helpfull and friendly. There is a charge for parking. It's located about 15 minutes to Laguna Beach. I would stay here again.

My wife and I love to workout and be active, this place is perfect for the hybrid athlete. It has turf field, basketball court, all he weights and machines you could need plus new treadmills that are fun to run on. Outdoors they have a huge swimming lane pool so perfect for training.

Where do I start this place is horrible. Booked for Valentine’s Day and the total come out to $312. The moment I get to the hotel I get hit with hidden fees such as an incidental and parking and some other minor fees. When I go to pay it brings the total to 465 and when I asked the guy at the counter if there was anything we can do he laughed in my face and just said these are our prices. Absolutely embarrassing and will not be staying here again.

Several mysterious charges after check out. I would like a detailed bill. The last charge of $32.00 was, I guess, for two bottles of water I bought as the(( hotel does not provide water. Two others might have been parking $49 and $50. ?? Of course, the room gets cleaned every 3rd day and you get 2 towels to last the two days before cleaning.

Nice hotel…they’re renovating but not inconvenient at all. If you love gyms and working out, this hotel is for you- nice gym, lap pool, sauna, exercise classes. Didn’t try the restaurant so not sure how that was. Their Starbucks drinks were not good at all. The bar looked busy on Friday night, so guessing that was pretty good. My biggest complaint is the bed pillows are horrible! Still trying to get the crick out of my neck two days later.
- 5/5
The restaurant had so many different options and it was affordable. The lap pools to whirlpool and outdoor jacuzzi allowed for muscle relaxation at its finest. It boosts every exercise equipment and exercise classes (Shout out to Natalie our instructor!) that you can think of. It was a nice way to either regenerate your determination to workout or ignite your existing flame dor health and fitness. It was truly an amazing experience. The only downfall was the housekeeping was not timely for our room.

Meh, the hotel part of it was ok. There was debris all over the floor so who knows when the last vacuum ran through. Bedding was dirty, and the room itself was a little run down. I also thought the $35 parking fee was ridiculous for you to park your own car in the large empty parking garage across the street. The upside was the pool area for the kids to play and the lobby was nice. The fitness facilities looked nice but we didn't use them.

We loved everything! The other reason why we rated it 4 is in 2023 if you’re a hotel with this reputation you should have mini fridges in every room. This is the first hotel of this reputation that we arrived with no mini fridge. Also, the TVs are outdated with apps and not connected to WiFi to even access the apps on them. Lastly, the sink clogged up continuously within 30-60 seconds. Either someone needs to fix those drains or replace the sink. Overall beautiful property.
- 4/5
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights on a beach trip. This hotel was in a location that was very quiet (not next to noisy roads). We also had a room at the end of the hallway in a corner room, so we heard nothing! The room was very nice and well laid out (King bed). The mini fridge was a decent size. There was no microwave, but we didn’t need one. The bed had a slight feather- type pad, but the bed and pad were not very soft. However, I’m pretty picky and I travel with a memory foam pad. The shower was a walk in shower with no closing door, which was fine, but there was no exhaust fan, so the bathroom steamed up. There was a bunch of black hair around the drain during my shower and if was not my hair. Other than that the room was clean. I couldn’t get the vending machines to work on two floors but the man at the front desk got some Sprite for me from the bar when I told him about it and said he’d let the manager know. We didn’t go to the bar/restaurant or gift shop and I think the pool was under repair so I can’t comment on these. Overall it was a pleasant stay. I wasn’t really happy about the paid parking. It was a parking garage next to the hotel. We had to drive farther to the beach staying here, but it was worth it to have a quiet hotel room. There is no free breakfast, if that’s important to you. I would probably stay here again if the price was right. We got a good last minute deal in October.

A hotel perfect for everyone, adult, couples, and families can definitely enjoy a stay here. Lots of amenities like the gym, swimming pools, and small water slide area for kids. They have a restaurant with pub food and a full bar. Parking is a little pricey like $27 a night for garage self parking. It’s like 30 minute drive to the Laguna Beach waterfront. Location wise, it was great.

I thought it was going to be a little more luxurious. There was no room service, mini bar or good tea selection. They put a $250 hold on the card for amenities but there weren't really any amenities.

This is hands down one of the best , if not the actual best hotel I’ve stayed in for vacation. The staff is outstanding and the facility has so much to offer with full access to pool and full gym with fitness classes.

We stayed 10 days. The highlight was the fitness center attached to the hotel. The basketball court, pool and weightlifting equipment are excellent. The cafe and restaurant in the hotel are very good with heathy options for the entire family. We also used the spa services and had an excellent experience. One thing to know, they don’t clean the rooms unless you request it. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but pretty basic. For our family of 4 that used the hotel to mainly sleep as we explored Southern California, it worked out really well. Easy to get to and from places. We would definitely return.
- 2/5
I will never stay here again based upon one item, $27 a day to park a car in an open parking structure is overpriced and abusive. The gym that uses the same structure is not charged. Again abusive and I was not advised until I arrived and had to back into the structure 2 floors up and hang a card on my mirror
- 4/5
Didn't realize that it was located so far from the beach and required a ride to the center of town. No one's fault.

This property is really good but not 5 out of 5 for two reasons. The shower head is really bad and has no volume or pressure. They charge $27,00 for PARKING!!! I use to live right around the corner so I know the area well and the parking garage is virtually empty. Charging Manhattan prices for parking is border line highway robbery. Otherwise this is an outstanding hotel.
- 4/5
This hotel has everything. Great gym facilities, pools, splash pads for the little ones, great bar and food and is conveniently located near many restaurants. Staff was great. Only dislike is the bed….needs to be updated to a firmer mattress.
- 5/5
If you enjoy the gym or the feeling of a wellness center...you will very much enjoy this hotel. The gym seemed bigger than the hotel...its in a separate area easily accessible from the hotel. The womans locker rooms are nothing like I've ever seen (guessing the men's locker room is the same). Each sink has a blow dryer, spray deodorant, hair spray, Q-tips, etc, gym bathrooms have body wash, shampoo, conditioner. Very clean. The steam room, sauna and jacuzzi are available in the women's locker room as well. Gym offers basketballs and racquetball courts, massage, esthetician, yoga classes, trx classes, zumba.... it really does have it all. Rooms are good and clean...nothing spectacular. but the amenities def made up for what the rooms for lacking. we will definitely be back on a regular basis.

I love how the gym is fully equipped, all machines are all wiped down or have the tools and cleaning supplies you need to wipe down before and after use. I love how the courts aren't dusty when playing pickle ball and the rooms are always clean. The only complaint would be new manager at the front desk that was helping teach new staff how to work reception. I called earlier to let them know I was arriving early and doing an early check-in. The African American manager right off the bat said "check in is at 4PM" then I told him I had already called and let them know a head of time my situation. He didn't even apologize that he was in the wrong, he just left to the back and let the new staff handle it. If I hadn't called in, he definitely would have made my wife and I wait til 4PM for check-in.
- 4/5
The bedding was terrible. Too soft a bed with a mattress pad that was lumpy and bulky bedding. The room was very nice and clean. The dining area had a fun vibe to it with yummy bar food. The margaritas were only ok. Served a Small size glass instead of margarita glasses filled with ice and only a minimal taste of alcohol. Also the drink was very tart without any sweetness. Paid $14 per drink at the bar which was ridiculous after having 5-6 small swallows and the glass was empty. The pool was perfect and the hot tub wasn’t hot.

Few things about the hotel is that the Hotel does not have a microwave anywhere in the building. Starbucks only has brewed coffee. At check in you will not receive any information about the propery.

Have stayed at this hotel several times before when visiting friends in the area and over the years the quality and cleanliness of the rooms has continued to decline. Sheets smelled as if they hadn’t been cleaned and there’s were stains on the headboard. Also the room was on the top floor which might seem nice except the HVAC units were right above the room and ran all night producing a loud humming noise in the room all night.

Upon arrival, we took the elevator and it ended up being broken. Staff took us to service elevator and ended up getting inside the elevator for 10-12 minutes. Maintenance had to come and shut of power to be able to pry door open. Food and beverage staff compensated our breakfast for the following day, super kind. It would have been nice to get our rooms discounted but they added 2 extra hours to check-out.

We arrived for check-in at 2:45 PM. I understand check-in is at 4 PM. I asked front desk if we could check-in early, she told me in 1 hour she would call to let me know room was available. 2 hours later and still no phone call. I had to go to front desk at 5:30 PM to check-in. No apology or effort to accommodate having to wait extra was amended, they wouldn’t even give my wife and I a late check-out.
