Stayed here as an alternative to the pricier hotels in the Dana Point region and wasn't disappointed. Everything was clean and orderly. I would stay here again for the money.

In terms of Hampton's this is a solid property; clean large rooms, location away from the highway, lots of good restaurants in the area and a great price. I'd give it four stars if it weren't for the poor fitness area; that is if you want to call a treadmill and an eliptical a fitness area. Yep, that was it. A hotel in the heart of fitness crazy Orange County with a sub-par fitness area should be ashamed. If you don't care about working out then this hotel may be for you.

We stayed the past weekend at the Hampton Inn in South Orange County. The hotel is located in Foothill Ranch, CA and is a newer Hampton Inn. The reception area was efficient and friendly. Our room was a typical Hampton room, we had a king size bed and it has the coffemaker, flat screen tv.
The pool is small and so is the exercise room. I went down in the morning to work out and there was only one treadmill and one stair stepper machine and an exercise mat. There is a water machine and fresh towels. There was no one in there when I was using it though so it was fine for me.
This hotel is probably more of a business type hotel than a family one because of the small pool etc.
Our stay was comfortable. There is a Starbucks nearby.

I have stayed at this property many times over the last several years on business trips. It's always clean, solid service, nice lobby with breakfast, nice fruit, coffee, etc. Always stay here on my trips to the OC.
