The staff was friendly and courteous especially the breakfast crew they were extremely attentive and kind.Also served a variety of breakfast options which I appreciate. The hotel is in a great location close to grocery stores, restaurants and fast food not to mention SNA (John Wayne) airport I felt safe the entire time with my family. I would say the only downside is that the property and rooms are dated and need an upgrade. if you guys did that you would have a home run! I would stay here again based on the location, convenience,breakfast and courteous staff. PS Parking can get rough at night especially if you check in late to your hotel.

The refrigerator in the room did not work, so our food went bad. The breakfast had good variety, but the biscuits were not cooked all the way through.

Everything was as expected - front desk, housekeeping and the breakfast staff (short order cook was an upgrade). The only problem we had was with the wi-fi connection. Only one of three devices functioned during our stay.

Another excellent stay with the team at the Best Western in Irvine/Lake Forest. The professional, steady, and genuinely friendly service remains consistently strong across the board. From the moment of arrival, Rita sets the tone at check-in—always gracious, composed, and greeting guests with a smile that suggests she’s never met a bad day. The rooms are kept in excellent shape, thanks to a housekeeping team that takes real pride in their work. Maintenance deserves a nod as well—everything in the room simply works, which is something you only notice when it doesn’t. And the breakfast staff handles the morning crowd with a calm, welcoming energy that makes starting the day a little smoother. Whether I’m in town for business or taking a breather, this hotel continues to be a dependable, well-run place to stay. Highly recommended.
