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.

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.
