Laguna Hills Lodge
Older hotel with some upgrades, but needing more. Continental B-Fast included with room, which is nice. Convenient location to highways. Pictures make the facility look more cozy than it is.

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels
They only clean the room once every 7 days( when you check in and ok every box on agreement, you don't realize it's in there), so you have to ask for clean towels additional coffee for the room etc. The mattress was ridiculously soft, so no support and both had sore backs)
