Great stay, highly recommended

Great stay. We were in town for a volleyball match just down the road. Breakfast ready early with great variety. Room comfy, bathroom and shower large and clean. Very quiet at night. Starbucks in the parking lot along with couple other restaurants that we didn’t try. Nothing fancy as most HIE hotels aren’t, but just what we needed for a quick overnight. Definitely stay here again when playing at Clava.

Convenient location with good service.

We stay a few times a year when we need to go to CA. It is a comfortable hotel. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Breakfast is nourishing and included as is the parking. The hotel is convenient to the toll road and there are dining options close by.

I stay where I feel 100% welcome.

I absolutely love Todd at the front desk and all other employees I've had contact with at this hotel. They're not just great employees who are professional in every way, they're just lovely people.

This is in a nice area of Lake Forest, equidistant between 241 and I-5/405. It's quiet, safe and surrounded by nice little shops for breakfast and evening.

6/10 Good

The fridge was broken in the room. The breakfast was ok but the dinning area for it was pretty small. They had the ice machine and water machine on oppositie sides of the hotel. It would make more sense for them to just be next to each other. Overall the location was close to shopping and food so that was convienent. The staff were all nice as well.
