Laguna Hills Lodge

Laguna Hills Lodge

8/10 Good
"The breakfast was quite good, scrambles eggs and bacon/sausage and other good choices. Rooms were fine; comfortable, basic. The rooms on the garden side seem very quiet though all facing each other so if your shades are open people can see in. The rooms facing the street have a lot of street noise."
