Hotel was not clean enough.

I found the hotel is not clean enough. Something went under the bed, there were all kinds of garbage under the beds, even durty pampers. Public areas and parking were durty.

The staff were a bit interesting. One of the check-in desk people was so quiet, I had to ask multiple times if he was speaking to me. It also took him a long time to get me checked in. Not sure if it was just the equipment he was using. I also had to make noise to let him know I was there one of the times. I believe he was on his phone and didn't acknowledge me for a bit. He wasn't rude, just distracted and overly quiet. Another person came into my unit unannounced. Not sure if this happened because I had an early check-in, but would've been great to have a heads up that a maintenance person was coming to my unit as I was told the room was ready for me. The maintenance person came in the first time unprepared, the second time, he came in talking on the phone, his hands full, etc. Then he forgot something and had to come back a third time. I was working in my hotel room, so this was disruptive and somewhat unprofessional. It would be nice if he could identify himself more clearly in the future. He was just trying to come in and knocking aggressively. It put me off-guard as someone who just settled in and didn't expect any interruptions. He wasn't rude, but just think he could be more professional, clear and efficient. Mistakes happen, of course, wasn't the biggest deal, but since you're asking, I just thought I would bring it up.

Nestled in the charming area of Lake Forest, right on the edge of Foothill Ranch, this location offers the perfect blend of convenience and beauty. With a variety of shopping and dining options just around the corner, plus easy access to the toll road, you'll find everything you need within reach. A mere five-minute stroll takes you to Etnies skate park, and just up the street is the picturesque Lake Forest sports park. If you're looking to explore further, the vibrant Irvine Spectrum is only 20 minutes away, all while enjoying breathtaking views of the Saddleback mountains and stunning sunsets that paint the sky each evening. The staff here truly go above and beyond. Having worked in hospitality myself, I understand how demanding this field can be, so it’s disheartening to see unfairly harsh reviews of this Extended Stay location. It's important to remember that this is a long-term stay hotel, so you might encounter guests who call this place home for a time—not all are in difficult situations. Life can throw unexpected challenges our way, but it's comforting to know places like this exist in our hometown, offering affordable stays that can be a lifeline during tough times (especially considering the typical prices in Orange County). A heartfelt shoutout to Alex, Alvin, and the dedicated young man who occasionally handles both front desk duties and maintenance, And to the incredible housekeeping team—your hard work and professionalism does not go unnoticed!

Very run down hotel

Most run down rooms I have ever stayed in. Literally everything was broken, missing or just worn out. We didn't even want to shower in the tub because it was so filthy.
