Top Lake Elsinore Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Irvine Spectrum

8/10 Good

"It was a comfy and convenient place to stay for an affordable price point. I'd definitely book again."

Sonesta Select Laguna Hills Irvine Spectrum

10/10 Excellent

"I couldn’t get into my timeshare in San Clemente when visiting Southern California for a high school reunion. So, I opted for Sonesta in Laguna Hills instead. This was a very affordable, clean and convenient alternative! I liked having the fridge in the room and also access to a microwave in the lobby. The pool and hot tub were also great to be able to use! I’ll return if I find myself in the same situation!"

South Coast Winery Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"The pool is a generous size and clean. Ants crawling around jacuzzi area is not very relaxing. The villa is clean and functional but the outdoor area seems a check-the-box practice - it was extremely close to other villas and the view is bad (parking lot, other houses, sparse vines). Service was good and satisfactory, but not outstanding or memorable, as is the general vibe of this hotel."
