Extended Stay America Suites - Orange County - Lake Forest

Checking out, Alvin was very helpful.

Everything. The rooms we a mess, shower floor was dirty and had been fixed and when you stepped in it, it was spongy and felt as though it would break. Only had had towels in our room and when I went to the front desk on 6/5/25 the manager said that is all he had. And when I seemed in shock, he told me to go that I was done. Really bad customer service so we left the hotel the very next morning and went to a new hotel. Outside there were broken down cars and trash everywhere. It seemed more like a half-way house then a hotel. For the price it was extremely disappointing, and we were discussed that a prortty was run this way. I will never stay at another Extended Stay Hotel.

Convenient location and good parking

Only one member of staff doing everything ! Breakfast (or lack of) was awful. Residents were outside all day chatting and sitting on camping chairs being noisy. They woke us up at 5am shouting and chatting sitting outside the complex.

It was quiet!

Before a guest checks into a room make sure that all lamp fixtures are in working condition.

I was charged two times and I stood one night in one room .I was charged by booking.com and when I got there they told me they couldn't find my reservation and I was charged second time for my room even though I got a free cancellation email from booking.com It was a mess

There was availability on short notice.

Rundown, completely. Terrible smell throughout. Kitchen did not work - fridge and stove both not functional. Cabinets smelled terrible, leaking water, loose wiring under sink. Towels were old, stained and had hair on them. They did not appear to be washed. Bed was very uncomfortable. If I was not stranded without a place, with my children I would never have stayed. If I was alone I would have slept in my car. There was also bugs. My original reservation with booking was for a Hilton hotel, which was oversold and I was turned away. Overall poor experience with this hotel and booking.com

I was charged for 2 days when I stayed only for one day. Hotel asked me to go through booking.com for a refund. I cannot get access to customer service at booking.com as there is no number listed anywhere. The online message gives an error message when I try to text in the portal. Please call me to process refund - nimishtolat@gmail.com asap.

The location was quiet.

The room was dirty. The refrigerator had splatters on the front of it. The cabinets in the kitchenette were falling apart and sticky. The recliner in the room was torn up. The TV remote was sticky. They did not provide us with bath towels, so we had to use our beach towels. When we asked the front desk for towels, they said they were still in the dryer and were damp so to come back later, when later there was no one manning the front desk. The windows to the room had cracked glass, the ceiling was peeling away, and the room was missing the smoke detector and had wires sticking out of the ceiling where it should have been.

Cost & Locale

Sketchy people were always hanging around the property (random groups of teen boys were sneaking in and smoking pot indoors), Overall room cleanliness was very poor (stains & sticky spots on the floor), Staff were very curt & largely unhelpful with replacing towels or toilet paper, all stairs at the location smelt strongly of garbage & possibly even urine
