Ayres Suites Mission Viejo - Lake Forest Reviews

Ayres Hotels used to have awesome breakfast buffets and quality staff. Breakfast was disappointing. The hotel had one vending machine, which was broken. After accepting $3.00 for a bottle of water, it failed to deliver the bottle. Afterwards, I noticed that there were about 10 bottles at the bottom of the vending machine. The hotel should have had a sign posted saying that the vending machine needed repairs. Even worse was the clerk telling me to email the vending machine company for the $3.00 refund.

I was a bit put off because the front desk closes at 8 pm , since I was checking later in the evening , no response from the 24 hr emerged number in case of problem . Just unusual in my opinion. Also the side walks were covered in snails - so gross . I missed the complimentary welcome glass of wine and breakfast because of the hours of the inn . It was somewhat disappointing. Place needs some updating throughout.

Old place. The review that the breakfast is good is not true. I think it's a good place to stay near Irvine for the price.

The Ayres Suites hotel is inferior to other similar hotels in Irvine such as the Holiday Inn, and the breakfast is not rich enough. The hotel's sanitary facilities are average, the aisles are long and there is a slight smell (maybe the smell of disinfection), the bathroom exhaust fan is very noisy, the hotel price is cheaper than similar hotels, and the front desk staff is warm and friendly. The parking lot is free for staying guests, and the hotel deposit of USD125 is very high.

Good value for money, quiet environment, highly recommended.

The quietest hotel I've stayed in in Irvine, with good service, big rooms, and free parking. I didn’t have breakfast, so I don’t know what it was like. I stayed here for 3 days in a row and the bedding was very comfortable.

Great Hotel. I’ve stayed here on numerous occasions. The rooms are nice size, clean and comfortably. Staff are friendly and helpful. Free breakfast every morning is a bonus. Best place to stay!

I’ve stayed at this property a number of times and have always enjoyed my stay. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are spotless and comfortable. The onsite restaurant and bar is great and’s i always enjoy chatting with the bartender, Mikayla. The complimentary breakfast has been consistently good.

Every time we go out to vacation in California, we love staying at the Ayres. We’ve stayed at pretty much all of them in the Orange County area except for this one, so we decided to try it out, even though it was further out. No regrets! This location has much better parking than other locations. Property was clean, staff was friendly, area was really safe. We will definitely come back to this one.

The only reason for out low rating is due to an annoying sound throughout the night. We couldn’t figure out what is was and it kept us from sleeping through out the night. To me it sounded like someone was flipping the light switch on and off. My husband thought it was either the bed creaking or the mini fridge making the sound. My son thought it was the air conditioner making the sound. What made the sound especially frustrating was that it didn’t have a pattern. It would stop for long periods of time, and as soon as we started dosing off it would start up again. We all had a horrible night of sleep.

Our room had ants crawling around in the bathroom, sink area, and sink by coffee maker. Twice maintenance came and sprayed something and wiped it away with the dead ants. They returned after each time. The breakfast area was very nice and breakfast was wonderful.

Booked 15 minutes before and was already in the system, cookies at the front desk were good too.

Came in for a basketball tournament for my daughter. Was such a great stay! Room was big, breakfast was great, and service was excellent! Thank you!!

Has a very comfortable feeling when walking in the door. Possibly due to choice of decor but still it works. The rooms are clean and furnishings well positioned for ease of movement. I like this hotel a lot and will be returning.
