Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lake Forest - Irvine East, an IHG Hotel - Lake Forest, California

Compared to extended stay down the street...well, there was no comparison. Holiday Inn by far exceeded my expectations. The only reason I did not give a 5 star rating is because my phone did not work my whole stay there even after I reported it did not work to the front desk. The hotel and room were clean, the bathroom was clean with plenty of towels. The hotel smelled nice. I would definitely stay here again if I had to. By the way, the cranberry juice was delicious at breakfast.

I had a recent visit to the orange county area, and not being fully familiar with many of the locations, chose the one in Lake Forest. I couldn't have been happier. It is in a great location with a wonderful eatery and bakery right next door; count me in!

The hotel staff could not have been better, the room was clean, quiet, and well lit.

The breakfast was typical IHG fare, but done perfectly by Chef Todd.

This is a Great Place To Stay!

Great location! Wonderful staff! Nice Holiday Inn Express room with microwave, mini fridge and k-cup coffee maker. We were in town for wedding at Aliso Viejo Ranch located 8 miles away. Drive was easy to get there in less than 30 minutes.

Hospitality, kindness, cleanliness and service! The breakfast was outstanding! Best part of our stay was how attentive the staff was as we were impressed with the GM - Todd who always goes the extra mile for each and every guest. Which you rarely find in the hospitality industry, it's simply refreshing. I’ll return as often as possible! And I continue to recommend this HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS.

After 9 days of work travel and hotel surfing it was nice to see a smiling person, Kate, at the desk that checked me in. The room perfectly cleaned by Rosario. The toilet paper and tissues were folded a really cute design! The rooms are so clean, spacious and really nicely decorated. The hotel was nice, quiet and within walking distance of restaurants. Highly recommend for work travel and families. I travel a lot for work and typically stay in Holiday Inn’s. This was the best Holiday Inn I have ever stayed in.

Staff was very during our entire stay. Rooms and bathroom was kept clean and all areas was kept well also. Included breakfast would have been nice with more options since they were the same meat options on both mornings. But overall would definitely recommend staying here. Very nice and accessible area as well!

We have really enjoyed our stay here so far. It’s a great place for families which is exactly why we are here and what we needed. The first person to greet me and make us feel welcomed was James and he did a great job of it. He took the time to personally connect, ask what is the occasion of our visit, and have a real conversation with me. I appreciated that so much.

Todd and Marla made us feel welcomed and cared for the next morning at breakfast. Great work! The place was also clean and inviting, and we felt at home and slept well. It was pretty quiet.

The stay was comfortable and we did not encounter any issues. The staff we encounter was pleasant. Points were reduced for the state of our room; window curtain was ripped, patch work on the wall without being repainted, door had what looked like paint to be scratched off. Oh, and I forgot to report this, but the receptacle near the internet access point didn’t seem to work. Also, the TV was kind of annoying to use. The TV would default to the wrong input source each time it turned on and the remote didn’t seem to work very well.
