This place is great, very modern and the gym is ridiculous. Only complaint is that you have to pay for parking ($10/day self or $20/day for valet). The gym is nice with all state of the art equipment, by far the nicest place I have ever worked out in. The pools are gym like so nothing fancy. The restaurant and bar are very trendy, great place to watch a UFC fight since that is what was going on this weekend. I love that we can plan a last minute memorial day weekend here and there is always availability. The rates aren't bad either but you are a good 10-15 minutes to Laguna Beach (and $5 in tolls!). We stay here since we have friends that are 2 minutes away in Aliso and just hang with them most of the time. Dining and shopping nearby is great, there is also a theater and plenty of parks to have fun with the kids. We stay here about 2-3 times each summer and the service is always consistently great.
