Staybridge Suites Irvine East/Lake Forest, an IHG Hotel

Quiet, safe, out of the way, nice staff, good breakfast, good size rooms. Will stay here again next time we're in Irvine. Also, this is one of the few places that doesn't charge for daily parking. Well worth it.

Beautiful, upscale area. Super clean, with a small kitchen and living room. The bed was fabulous!! Will stay again!!!

Hotel is beautiful but it's almost in the middle of nowhere haha. There are stores nearby but the area feels dead at night.
Honestly a perfect place if you wanna get away from work or the city life without leaving the city

Stayed here for 5 days in for my cousin's wedding. Staff is absolutely amazing. They really know how to make you feel appreciated.
One thing I will say is that I wish they included potatoes with their complimentary breakfast. It was a very nice breakfast to be honest with lots of options.
Well worth it to stay here, trust me bro.

I give this 5 stars. To be honest, it's a solid 3 star hotel. We knew that going in. So for a 3 star hotel, it gets 5 stars.

Not perfect. We got a 2 bedroom suite and the bedroom door that my granddaughter was using didn't shut correctly. We figured a workaround. There were only 2 forks in the kitchen. The showers each had shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel on a small shelf attached to the inside of the shower. In one of the bathrooms it was broken. We stayed 2 weeks. Housekeeping was only on Thursday for us. We checked in on a Tuesday but wouldn't get Housekeeping until the 2nd Thursday. So people put their garbage and towels/sheets outside their doors. And there everything sat in the hallways for a week. We needed a change of sheets because of a spill. The sheets were handed to us but they didn't take the dirty sheets. They sat in the hallway for a week. Gross to say the least. And, lastly, the laundry room is terrible. It's free to use but nasty. We took our laundry to a laundromat instead. It was much cleaner.

Why 5 stars then? The room was perfect for our needs. The kitchen had everything we needed (except enough forks). We baked cookies (toaster oven provided), made waffles (with a waffle iron I bought at Walmart and left with family), and had our munchies. Breakfast AND dinner is included. We didn't eat everyday at the hotel. Only 3 times for dinner in 2 weeks. But it was surprisingly good (both breakfast and dinner). Not gourmet but good and filling. The beds were amazingly comfortable. And having a separate bedroom for our granddaughter was a must. We weren't in a single room for 2 weeks. The staff is so nice. I guess the bottom line is that is was comfortable. We liked the location. We are a tidy family so no housekeeping wasn't a problem in the room. If we needed anything it was just a quick call and it arrived at our room.

We will definitely stay here again when we visit our California family.
