Best Hotels near Arroyo Vista Park, Rancho Santa Margarita

I remember Ayres Hotel have one of the best breakfasts. It was disappointing as the number of items offered was 1/2 of what it was. Hotel didn't offer any water, but had to purchase it from a vending machine. Paid $3 but the machine was broken and the bottled water didn't get dispensed. The woman at the register said to call the number on the machine for a refund....

I have nerve damage to both feet which makes it very hard to get around. I checked in on Nov. 4th, 2019 after a very long day of flights. Kayln welcomed me and was so very nice and helpful getting me a room on the 1st floor. Then, I was limping to an ice machine with Frank Vasquez saw me. He offered to go get the ice for me. On Tue, I called the front desk to ask where the nearest ice machine is. Kayln answered and said that Frank probably would help me. A few minutes later, Frank brought me ice again. The service here is OUTSTANDING everytime I visit. Also, Alex is the best bartender I've encountered in my travels.

The staff from very welcoming and helpful all throughout our stay. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The kids had a blast in the pool. We loved this place. We will definitely be back! Thank you Homewood Suites Aliso Viejo!

Due to the emergency evacuation from the wildfire, I booked it on Ctrip, and I was able to move in before 3 o'clock. During the epidemic, the room was cleaned and sealed, and when it was disinfected with alcohol, it felt that it was disinfected before cleaning, and it could smell on the remote control. There are Starbucks in the surrounding area, a mall not far away, and a supermarket. There is in&out on the opposite side of Highway 5. Obviously the surrounding area is a good area. Parking is free.

Do not stay here. Where do I start...oh yea, from the beginning. They advertise a restaurant in the hotel so getting in around 8pm, we figured this would be the best place to go just to save time. They're supposed to open until 10pm but when we arrived, it was closed. Apparently, the cook didn't show up that night so they had no choice...it was never open while we were there. Then needed ice...walked around the hotel to all 3 ice makers...all broken. Woke up in the morning, was going to make coffee in the room...the K cups were there but NO COFFEE MACHINE! Had to go to the front desk and they had one sent up. Got it all set up, looked through the K cups, no regular coffee. Back to the front desk to find regular K cup but they were out. He eventually found some but too late, we were gone for the day. Now the room...pillows sucked, they were just way too thin, as in thin like a sleeping on a blanket. The bathroom door wouldn't latch so we were unable to lock the door when using the bathroom. But the worst part of that frickin bathroom door was it squeaked! If anyone got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, everyone in the room woke up because of the noise. The one bright spot was their breakfast and their breakfast attendant Joe. He was very friendly and pleasant to talk to.

My 11 year old son and I enjoyed this hotel immensely. He said it should be a 5 star. The hot breakfast had many options and was high quality. The evening happy hour had great variety and was tasty. The pool is small but clean. Basketball court and outdoor area provide nice relaxation areas for families. Our favorite part was the ping pong table in the (free!) laundry area. We borrowed the paddles and played often! Super fun. Nice staff, too. Pillows were high quality and comfy. The bed was a bit hard but that’s my only semi- negative aspect of the review. Satellite tv was a little glitchy. We would def stay again. Great area close to many restaurants and stores for essentials.

Honestly I’m so confused about the rating that I should give to this hotel. First I’d like to give a big sour out to Marcus (one of the managers there) he helped us with the confusion that the front desk had regarding our complimentary breakfast. We really appreciate his help. The rooms could use a renovation the key were outdated, the screen o our window was broken. The bathroom was outdated as well the sink and bathtub faucets need to be changed. The staff need lots of training, the housekeeping team had to get their manager to communicate with us as they couldn’t speak English (they only spoke spanish) The front desk lady was talking to us while eating and she had lots of partially chewed food in her mouth while talking to us which wasn’t professional and it didn’t look pleasant at all. The person who worked at the front desk at night was so unfriendly and unprofessional when we called him at 1:30am for very loud noises that were coming from above and lasted for a good two hours till around 3:30am. Even when you go for the hot breakfast buffet, the staff who’s in charge for taking your orders and room numbers was aggressive in the beginning and took our orders while he was seated with his legs crossed, we felt like students standing infront of our teacher,,, although he came to us and told us that he knew he was rude and explained that he did that as people previously complained that they should’ve been told the price of the buffet before they ate as they didn’t want to pay. I think all the staff need to lots of training. Hopefully Adam the new manager does something about it, he listened to our concerns and said that he will look into it.

This was the second time we stayed here. Though we checked in late, the front desk staff was still very accommodating and friendly, the rooms were clean and smelled really fresh when we got inside. The TV remote was even wrapped for sanitation. We checked out after 3 days of stay, half way towards LA we find out that my sister left her phone at the room. We immediately called the hotel and spoke with their front desk. They safe kept my sisters phone and when we came back they hand it to us. We really appreciate there honesty. Kudos to all their staff! I highly recommend this hotel when in Lake forest or nearby areas. Enrique
