Check in is at 3pm and NO earlier. We arrived at 2:05pm and asked if we could check in early, we were told no and went to get something to eat. Came back at 2:48pm and was again turned away and told come back in 12 minutes. Yes, 12 minutes. Sat in my car, came back in at 3:02 pm and was finally able to check in. After getting the key, our luggage and finding our room on the second floor. The hallway smelled of cigarette smoke, even though no smoking signs posted everywhere. Found our room and opened the door only to find trash everywhere, multiple beer bottles spread throughout the room and dirty clothes laying on the door, clearly this room was still occupied. Immediately closed the door and headed back to the front desk. Informed the desk clerk what I just saw and no apology was given. Was handed a new key, now on the 3rd floor. Right out of the elevator, patched drywall, not painted to match the red on the walls. Piles of swept dirt and trash in the corner of hallway. Hallway carpet stained in multiple areas. Room was run down, old broken furniture, peeling counter tops and dirty fridge. The sheets and pillowcases were stained. I ended up going to Costco and buying pillows and a blanket to use on the bed. I'm not a picky person and never leave reviews but this place was one surprise after another. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Beds were comfortable and the room suitable but if you stay here be prepared for:
No food, just coffee in the morning. Rooms needed good amount of cosmetic work (paint, poor drywall patch jobs, microwave was rusty inside) and bed sheets had small but noticeable stains

This hotel needs a lot of cosmetic work. The clientele staying here was really sketchy and several looked like drug addicts. Lots of low lifes staying here. There was a huge wet spot on the carpet in my room so I was moved to another one. The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. No blow dryer, no shampoo, no dishes or silverware in the room even though there’s a kitchenette. On the plus side, there’s lots of areas to walk a dog including a trail behind the building. There are plenty of restaurants and a Starbucks within walking distance. The street out front was very busy. There are muffins and coffee in the lobby for breakfast. The hotel staff was very nice. But because of the clientele and the uncomfortable bed, I would not stay here again.

I’ve stayed at this hotel for weeks sometimes while recovering from spinal surgery. I use a stroller to walk. The staff is wonderful and well trained. The manager Alex and Alvin have been accommodating to my needs. This ESA location is a hidden gem in beautiful Lake Forest.

Hotel room didn’t have a working shower and the fridge didn’t work. The price was great so not really complaining, just making note of a few things that would have made the stay more enjoyable.

I’ve stayed at several Extended Stay America’s in Southern California and the staff is very good in Lake Forest. People make a difference on the experience. Special thanks go to Alvin and Alex who were kind and courteous to the patrons. We had an issue with plumbing in our room and they made it right. I’m recovering from back surgery and my mother was with me. They moved us right across the hall and even offered to move our luggage.

The room was big. Great that it has a full size fridge. The paint is peeling. There were cobwebs in the corners or the walls. There was a bad smell in the place. The beds are not comfortable. The trash can in the lobby was overflowing. There was trash and bags of stuff in the hallway to our room. There were cleaning supplies in the lobby.

There is a reason that this place was only $100. It's an extended stay some people are there as a temporary apartment. I got there a little after 9:00 p.m. and they told me my room might not be ready yet. It was ready but I still had to wait a little bit. Apparently it was all kinds of callouts and there wasn't even a facilities person there. Someone had a problem with their shower but they had to wait until 8:00 the next morning when a manager got there. Another guy was there complaining because it looks like they overbooked and wouldn't honor his reservation. He had to work at like 6:00 in the morning and they are trying to find a sister establishment for him to stay at. When I asked the managers in the morning if I could get an extended checkout time due to the late check-in, I was told sorry the best we can do is 30 minutes. That is a lie. If you are desperate and don't have a lot of money to spend on a room then stay here, other than that driveways out and you'll find something better.

Checked into the room and went to use the bathroom...yikes! No toilet paper at all. Bed looked like it wasn't changed....overall a grimy, run down hotel. Avoid if you can afford it!

I went to check in and the guy at the front desk said they were under staffed and there were no rooms available.

There was nothing on the website about checkin other than it starts at 3. My travel was delayed so I arrived after midnight. The front desk worker was there but could not give me a room as the system was updating. Hotels.com was not able to rebook me either so I had to sleep in my car. Small claims court will be expired against both companies. This should not have gone this way.

The staff were friendly. The rooms were OK. There’s a lot of damage around the rooms to the furniture and the carpet was very stained the first room we were in. We had to get moved out of because the toilet didn’t work. The water pressure in the showers is not the greatest.

The location of property was wonderful.
My big surprise was being assigned a room that was occupied!
The property is older and has not been kept up well. The room size was great, just depressed with the run down conditions of furniture, drawers and thin worn towels.
Great if just needing a place to store food, cook and sleep. It served my purpose for the evenings.

Very dirty. The refrigerator had stains on the outside. Outside of the hotel had homeless and people getting arrested. I did not feel safe or comfortable during my stay.
