Scene
Peaceful value hotel
Despite the business of the surrounding area, the atmosphere at the Laguna Hills Lodge is tranquil and cheerful, in large part due to the Bougainvillea flowers and the hotel's many varieties of rose bushes growing in its gardens. A floral smell permeates the hotel, including the interior public spaces of the four buildings on the property. Though the lobby decor is a bit dated, it's pretty enough and the walls adorned with paintings by local artists is a nice touch.
Location
Conveient location next to restaurants and a shopping mall, but about a 10-minute drive from the nearest beach
If travel plans call for business at the Laguna Civic Center, this is a convenient property right next door. Also next door is a large shopping mall, gas station, and many restaurants. The Laguna Hill Lodge, while close to the 5 freeway, is set back enough from the thoroughfares to avoid noise. Beach goers should know the nearest stretch of sand is about 10 minutes away by car. Disneyland, The Honda Center, and Angels Stadium are about 45 minutes away.
Rooms
SImple rooms with microwave, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers
Free Wi-Fi, work desks, and flat-screen TVs appeal to Laguna Hills Lodge guests, but perhaps not as much as the microwaves and mini-fridges that make the hotel feel a little bit like home. TVs have 60 channels and bathrooms come equipped with hairdryers. Some travelers find the beds too firm. While not much about the decor makes this hotel stand out from others, the rooms are clean and comfortable and some have balconies overlooking the hotel's pretty private gardens.
Features
A fitness center, pool, and sauna
Visitors tend to treat the Laguna Hills Lodge as a base for exploration of the surrounding area, but the hotel has a few amenities too. There's an outdoor pool, sauna, and fitness center plus free Wi-Fi, parking, and a free (if a little sparse on variety) breakfast each day. Rooms come equipped with microwaves and mini-fridges, which, in addition to the self-serve laundry facilities, are a big hit with families. For business travelers, there's a conference room, a business center, and free copying services.
