I have stayed here many times over the years - visiting family at Leisure World/Laguna Wooods down the street, as have my family members, siblings, cousins and aunts. It is hands down the best hotel in the Laguna Woods area - comfy/homey feeling with all your creature comforts - free huge buffet breakfasts with make your own waffles, an omelette bar, and anything else you can think of for breakfast; on weekdays a complimentary wine and cheese reception; cookies every afternoon; free use of hotel computer; heated outdoor pool; microwave and refrigerator in room, free parking, free shuttle to and from John Wayne airport, and an unbeatable friendly hotel staff that is dedicated to serving the guest impeccably. Our first contact was with Minnie when the hotel first opened, as she was offering discounts for people visiting Leisure World, and she has consistently been the most gracious, courteous, and personable professional you can find in this industry. The Manager, Vince, is also tops, and frequently shows up at breakfast to say hello to guests. I love that they seem dedicated to keeping employees happy too, as I have noticed many of the same employees over the years - really a nice family business. Classical music and art and decor make it unique and I look forward to many returns.
Room Tip: Some rooms look over the courtyard which I think is lovely
