Top Lantern District Hotel Reviews

Laguna Cove Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location is fantastic. They just need to swiffer the floors, seemed a little sandy otherwise great room."

14 West Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an excellent location within walking distance of all the Laguna Beach has to offer. It’s close to a grocery store and the best breakfast and taco restaurants around. Although the hotel is somewhat dated, the staff are excellent. JUlie, the manager, was very nice and accommodating as were the other staff. The only issue we had was checking in after 8 pm when the front desk is closed however Rafael helped us find our room. Unfortunately the online reservationists are offsite and did not send our after hours check in info. After that Julie took great care and addressed any concerns we had. The pool is awesome! And the vibe and ambience at the hotel was very cool. We enjoyed our stay very much and appreciate the extra efforts provided by the local staff."

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast staff was a lil rude. They were talking to some people in front of me in English, but then when I try to ask for extra pancakes, they started telling me that they did not understand. The other staff was really polite though and the overall experience besides the breakfast staff was really great. It was a great experience will book again i’ll just make sure I bring my own breakfast.lol"
