Top Lantern District Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Irvine Orange County Airport

8/10 Good

"I've stayed here many times before. It's a good hotel, conveniently located near the airport and dining. Some of the guests were trashy, leaving food and dishes in the elevator, but other than that, I would stay here again."

Surf & Sand Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Came for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. We were greeting by friendly valet and front desk people. They even offered welcome champagne. We got there early so we had to wait for a room, but it was worth it since we got upgraded to a different room. The views here are worth it. You have access to a pool but we went down to the beach instead. We enjoyed drinks in their lobby area that even had someone playing live music. We dined inside our room for dinner since our view was perfect. Everywhere we went the staff greeted us with smiles and were so nice. Honestly, this was the best hotel stay I've ever had. We're definitely coming back."
