Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lake Forest by IHG

Great small hotel! Friendly service, nice spacious clean rooms. We loved the cookie at check in! Breakfast was just ok. I’ve stayed at many Holiday Inn Express hotels and this was not my favorite. The fried eggs were kind of rubbery, the pancake machine was broken, and there weren’t a lot of bread options BUT I’m still super grateful for a free breakfast and it was very clean. Overall a great experience and we would stay here again!

Very nice facility

Very clean

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.

Stayed 2 nights for a volleyball tournament. King suite, spacious, with a desk and 2 sitting chairs. Pretty comfortable bed, although I did call front desk at 11pm to ask for a blanket and was told that there were none and that the front desk was too busy at the moment to help me which was strange to be busy so late at night in this area? I could have easily walked down to front desk to grab a blanket but that apparent wasn't an option. Anyway, quiet location just off of the toll road. Good breakfast ready at 6:30am which was convenient for us. No Netflix or streaming capability just regular cable. WiFi was spotty. Very small parking lot but parking was free so no complaints. Starbucks in same parking lot which was helpful, as well as a few restaurants (sushi, Mediterranean/pizza) within walking distance. All in all good for what we needed, which was a quiet place to sleep central in OC.

The front desk staff was amazing.

THE STAY WAS GOOD -- BUT HOW DO I GET A BILL -? IS IT EMAILED TO ME? THANK YOU

Breakfast was the same everyday, not switched up. Pancake machine wasn’t working pancakes not cooked.

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 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.
