I have stayed at IHG Hotel groups for more than 200 nights with no issues but this one was very disappointing as a diamond elite member.
I stayed at new year’s night and checked out on January 1st. Two days later I noticed my duffle bag is missing while I was unpacking my luggage and no one from hotel even contacted me to let me know that I have left behind my bag. I contacted them and after an hour they said they have found it, so I drove all the way from San Diego to lake forest to pick it up just because of my birthday gift was among another things in that bag, unfortunately when I got there I noticed that perfume is missing and it was very frustrating and they said that was all they have found and no one seems to be accountable for that.

업무로 1월 초 4박을 이용했습니다. 놀라운 경험을 나누고 싶습니다. 호텔은 객실이 청결하고 직원들의 서비스가 훌륭합니다. 리뷰를 써 주고 싶은 감동이 있습니다. 체크인때 스넥과 생수를 제공합니다. 무료 아침 조식은 매일 변화를 주면서 좋은 상태의 음식을 제공합니다. 월요일부터 목요일까지 주중에는 저녁 식사도 제공합니다. 저녁 식사는 기대하지 않았는데 레스토랑을 이용할 필요가 없었습니다. 수영장과 자쿠지 시설도 매우 좋습니다. 야외 바베큐 그릴을 이용할 수 있으며 그릴의 상태는 매우 청결합니다. 농구 코트와 빨래방이 있습니다. 주차 공간이 많고 무료입니다. 비즈니스룸 시설도 훌륭합니다. 인터넷 속도도 좋습니다. 이 근처 방문자라면 이용을 권하고 싶습니다.
원 퀸베드 스튜디오룸을 이용했는데 침대와 침구 상태도 좋았고 주방 기구도 완벽하게 갖춰져 있습니다. 4박 기간중 타올만 교체했고 방 청소는 이용하지 않았습니다.

Review: A Home Away From Home at Staybridge Suites
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you’re looking for a spot that balances the convenience of a hotel with the comfort of an apartment, this Staybridge Suites is a fantastic choice. Here is a breakdown of my recent stay:
The Highlights (Pros)
Prime Location: The hotel is situated in a perfect spot—close enough to the action but easy to navigate. It made getting around incredibly simple.
Top-Tier Service: The desk staff were standout. They were professional, welcoming, and genuinely helpful from check-in to check-out.
Peace of Mind: Safety is a priority here. The parking lot felt very secure, which is a huge plus if you’re traveling with a car.
The "Home" Factor: The rooms are clean, modern, and well-designed. Unlike a cramped standard hotel room, the layout really makes it feel like a private residence.
Breakfast: One of the best perks was the breakfast spread. It was fresh, offered plenty of variety, and provided a great start to the day.
Room for Improvement (Cons)
Elevator Speed: During peak breakfast hours, the elevators can be a bit slow, so give yourself an extra minute if you're on a higher floor.
Limited Late-Night Dining: While the location is great, options for a late-night bite within immediate walking distance are a bit sparse, so plan your evening snacks accordingly!
Final Verdict
This property truly lives up to the "Staybridge" name by making you feel like a resident rather than just a guest. Between the stellar staff and the immaculate rooms, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
