Reviews
The hotel has a cool sixties vibe and is fairly clean, but it needs updates and maintenance. The staff's helpfulness is inconsistent, with some being very friendly and others being unhelpful or sassy. The rooms and hallways have issues such as dirty bed sheets, stained furniture, tripping hazards, and malfunctioning air conditioning.

Room was clean, staff was professional, friendly staff, didn't use pool area or restaurant. Bar was dead, For on-site parking, it needs to be better organized: I arrived around 9 PM, found parking far away from hotel entrance, solo mature female - I took my luggage, etc, with me inside to check in and was told I had to place a paper inside my car to identify that I was a hotel guest if inquiries were made as to who is parking. I had to go all the way back to my car and put in that paper so it was visible, then I walked all the way back to hotel to go to my room. I have never experienced that type of antiquated parking request. Enough that I would NOT stay there again. Yes, that's right.

Great customer service, the young man in the front was attentive and kind, cleanliness and good price for the rooms. It was my birthday and I was treated special as well. I recommend it to my family and friends.

IHG tried to make this older property into something that it isn't. The location is a freeway offramp. Overnight parking is $15 a day, and no more free breakfast. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The front desk personnel during the swing and early morning shift are all terrible at customer service, especially the one early morning. He doesn't believe in a tiny bit of grind.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding multiple serious issues experienced during my recent stay at your property. The overall condition, service quality, and handling of concerns fell well below acceptable hospitality standards. The beds were unacceptably small, the breakfast was of poor quality, and the room was inadequately cleaned. Upon arrival, the television was not functioning, and I was required to call the front desk several times before assistance was provided. The following day, I again had to contact staff simply to have the beds made. Additionally, breakfast service in the restaurant was excessively slow and poorly managed. More concerning was a safety incident that occurred on your premises. I fell while exiting the bar area. Despite this, no staff member showed concern, offered assistance, or followed any apparent safety or incident-response protocol. This lack of response is unacceptable and raises serious concerns regarding guest safety and staff training. I am also disputing an improper charge placed on my account. The only bottle of water provided in the room was warm, so I placed it in the refrigerator. When I later removed it and attempted to open it, the cap broke. I was charged for this and informed that the bottle was not meant to be refrigerated. At no point was there signage, written notice, or verbal instruction indicating such a restriction. Charging a guest under these circumstances is unreasonable and unjust

Breakfast very good, they charge for overnight parking.

The facility was in much worse condition then I expected. It looked nice pulling up but it was really a 2 star hotel at best masked with some pretty features. Also, there was a Christmas party that night and the neighbors were awfully loud. Overall, it was not a great experience.

Hotel was nice, but it is very run down
- 3/5
This Voco hotel sits adjacent to the freeway, so access is good but if you’re facing the freeway it can get a little noisy. Decor has been thoughtfully updated, but the maintenance of the property leaves something to be desired. Peeling wallpaper, trim boards falling off the sink cabinetry and doors, missing cover plates over electrical wires, open holes in ceiling drywall, and multiple large and flammable items in emergency stairwells (last three are code violations) all contribute to a sense that no one cares. The front desk staff were also mixed. Some generally polite and others seems to be faking interest and politeness and actually seemed pissed that we had booked through Expedia. We will look for a different hotel next time.

Nice room and hotel. Very uncomfortable bed. Bedding nice but the bed was so hard it was painful. The restaurants were not delicious! The coffee was Folgers and the nachos were blah. It was nice that they did service our room during our tow night stay.
- 2/5
The rooms are run down, pigs with lipstick on them. The sheets were dirty - blood on the fitted sheet? Disgusting. Ripped that off immediately and just laid on the regular sheet. The AC was SO loud, I could barely hear my thoughts form. I had to keep it on all night since I was in an adjoined room set up - the neighbors thought it was TIME TO PARTAYYYY and laugh and scream all night. So the AC it was to drown their noisiness down. Who pregames in Laguna Hills hotels? Lol.. They give you tap water in a glass bottle, call it eco friendly. The coffee maker didn’t work. The bathroom had flickering lights, I suppose Halloween is around the corner, so it’s ambiance. The bathroom fan did not work. Water pressure and heat in the shower was decent though. THE wifi… Every 5 minutes it would cut out and freeze. This was the worst! Their WiFi is awful, better bring a hotspot or a laptop/tablet if you want to survive.

what made the stay enjoyable was the staff and people staying. it was during a holiday weekend. vary hot. pool was dirty, no towels were available. I had to ask twice. food was not that good. the vibe in the bar was fun.

This is a nice place. Definitely worth the price. Cant be super picky when it makes sense economically. Busy labor day weekend. Tons of kids. But there is live karaoke, live jazz and the restaurant is really good. The rooms across from the freeway are loud. But if you keep the air conditioner or fan on it drowns out the drone of a 24 freeway noise. Great restaurants and bakeries near by. DADS sandwiches and things is awesome. Hotel staff are really nice. Rooms are super clean.

The remodel is beautiful, especially in the lobby and check in guest areas. However, since we went to rest for a few days and take a break, it was very inconvenient to find out that during the remodel the one thing they did not replace or update, was the air conditioners? They are so loud, I’ve really never experienced anything like it. Thumbs down.

This was a beautiful hotel! I have nothing but great things to say, the staff was kind & extremely helpful, property was clean & convenient, the water station downstairs with was so great considering we were going on several hikes this weekend even had sparkling water option which I thought was so unique. The bed was cozy the room was spacious. Definitely would come again!

Nice hotel. Our room was a little weird though, I think it may have been meant for someone with disabilities, as everything was super low. Especially in the bathroom. Still everything was fine, but we weren’t expecting that. Also didn’t love to have to pay for parking at the location.

This was the worst stay ever! The Air conditioner unit was extremely loud and I could not sleep all night. I got up and went to the front desk, I spoke with the person about the situation and he just said, I am sorry sir, I made a note of it! I told him that it was unacceptable, and he just apologized again. I went back to my room, called the person at the front desk, place the telephone up, so he can hear the noise and he responded Wow, it is very loud! You can try to turn off the AC to see if that works! I turn off the AC and I could not sleep since it was getting warm in the room. I went out side sat by the couch in the lobby for an hour to try to relax! I am so tired today as a result, I feel robbed! It is completely understandable and I am so disappointed! I should not be charged for this bad experience.

I liked that the staff were helpful, friendly, and kind. I also like they were able to answer my questions and quickly resolve any problems I had. The room and hotel was clean. The view and temperature control was good. The amenities were great. The bathroom and shower in the room was spacious. Aside the the Emerald Lounge and breakfast spot in the hotel, there are so many other restaurants, stores, and entertainment within walking distance and no more that 15 mins away if driving.

1. SECURITY CONCERNS - key stopped working after two days, went to the front desk to get it fixed. I was asked for my room number and was given a key card without any verification of my name or ID. So anyone with a key card from the hotel can get into any room by simply asking. 2. Leaking shower - half door in shower does not prevent water from leaking into the bathroom and hallway. Bathroom door had extensive water damage from this. 3. Thin walls - you can hear everything in neighboring rooms, including the tv at 3 am. 4. Cleaning rag from housekeeping was left in the room.

Beds were very comfortable liked that the shower had an actual door and movable shower head.

Jose at the front desk was very rude and hung up in my face when I called the front desk . I called and asked for towels and he said they were very busy and then he just hung up in my face. Also one of the housekeeping people came in my room while I was in there. They didn’t knock at all. Then they was no room service . The place sucks and I would not recommend. I had to stay there for 3 nights because my son had a basketball tournament. But I will never return.

I had reserved a room over a week ago. Check-in time is at 4pm. Go to check in and they dont have my room ready yet, had to wait another hour til a room was available. Found a live pincher bug on bed. Overall, the price is great but leaves more to be desired.

The negative; They charge a set rate (I think it was $15) to self park in the small lot out front, but they are sure to tell you that the lot is not patrolled. We also went out on a small rear patio and our cards would not re-open the door so we had to walk around the whole back of the hotel. It was dark out and a bit sketchy. Lastly, we were on the second floor and a door to the outside stairs was continually propped allowing anyone off the street or from the (unpatrolled) parking lot to enter our floor at any time.

This hotel has a nice lobby and it’s clean but my room was facing parking lot with dumpster view. Next to highway. Pillows were so thick and uncomfortable. Couldn’t get the tv to work working singing in with my phone and give my info to sign up and scan QR code. No mirror in the room. Housekeeping crew were so loud very early hours of the morning talking loud and banging doors.

Property was really great. The only thing I did notice is little things in our room that could have been better cleaned. Tables had dirty spots and looked like they weren’t cleaned/wiped down. Just made me think was the room REALLY cleaned properly. We plan on staying in Laguna and will stay there again.

This property is good but I always have nit-picky issues here. This time it was: TV had to be fixed by mtce twice, WiFi is flaky, the parking lot was being re-paved which was inconvenient. Also, there’s a new, daily $15 parking fee. There’s nowhere else to park so customers are forced to pay it. I don’t know if this is an Orange County or State of CA mandate. I’m going to check other hotels in the area. The Staff goes out of their way to accommodate, so plus points for their efforts. I’m pretty demanding and I know it.

I booked two days there with an Apple Pay and they had no problem with it. I accidentally booked another day and I’m trying to cancel it and now they want $100 deposit they won’t give me my money back and I booked it at 8 o’clock this morning and I tried to cancel and on their policy it says before 6 PM so please read their policy

The room was fine…until it wasn’t. I was gone overnight and returned late the next evening to find that someone had entered in my absence to use the toilet. When the toilet proved to be stopped up, the desk person could not even provide a plunger. Finally he offered to move me to a different room, without assistance. With a bad leg and back, I had to pack up and move myself to a different room. The next day I was given a breakfast voucher for my remaining 4 days.
