Laguna Hills Lodge
Property grounds are very pretty. Rooms are older and have potential but are somewhat dirty. Caked on grime and dust on the trim, on bottom of dresser, dirty hand prints on the bathroom door. Linens are extremely rough and the most horrible toilet tissue! Coffee tray was dirty with dried up food ...

About the service to be excellent rooms were clean. Staff was very polite and the weekend breakfast was excellent. I’ve never had any problem with any of the embassy hotels

Pacific Edge Hotel
Clean room but carpet was very dirty and old looking. Being a hotel on the beach, maybe ceramic flooring would be best.
