This hotel really make your trip feel comfortable and at home. They had a pool, hot tub, gym and complimentary breakfast. They also had complimentary dinner, M-Th. Coffee was always available and little snack in the food area. They keep the facility clean I saw them mopping and cleaning. Sometimes I would smell the cleaning but not see them clean. When we arrived we received complimentary water. I also was traveling with an elderly person so they made sure to put us somewhere accessible. Overall great experience I would come back again.

I was very impressed by our stay at Staybridge. Check in was a breeze. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and the kitchenette was great with a full size refrigerator! The breakfast included was delicious! We couldn’t believe that they offered dinner for guests during the week as well! It was simple but good and a nice surprise! The complimentary laundry facilities was a great bonus too! We took advantage of the swimming pool and hot tub. We were close enough to some nice shopping, restaurants, movies etc. The location wasn’t far from Disney or beaches like Lugana Beach (1/2 hr) and about an hour from LA! We were so impressed with the hotel, we definitely will stay there again!

Check-in was easy and a little early, which we appreciated since we drove several hours to get here. Loved the little snack bags and water provided for free. We had no idea that they offered free dinner Monday-Thursday. We did not get to try it as we had dinner plans, but I've never seen that offered anywhere! The breakfast buffet provided a perfect assortment of options, even oatmilk! The pool and jacuzzi were amazing! The pool was cool and refreshing. The Jacuzzi was warm and soothing. The grounds were very nicely manicured. The inside of the hotel was very clean. If I am in the area again, I will definitely choose to stay here again

This is a very good hotel. Had two one bedroom suites, 143 and 145. Rooms were very spacious, comfy beds, big showers with kitchen. When we initially arrived we were told breakfast wasn’t served until 7:30 on Sundays but after pointing out to them that their website said 6:30 every day and that we had to be somewhere at 7 that morning they called in their cooks early and had breakfast ready for us early. Great service, but I don’t think I’d stay again simply because of the noise. Anytime someone was in the hall you could hear them in the room. 143 shared a wall with an elevator which was very loud anytime it was used and in 145 we could hear the guests in 147 like they were in our room. Walls are paper thin. Otherwise we loved it, but just too loud for another visit.

Overall, it is a fantastic hotel for family. We stayed for 3 nights and the room was big enough for family to move around. The breakfast was fine but not something we utilized much. I want to emphasize something about the location. It is in a very nice area quiet and safe. However, it is surrounded by toll freeway which is something not the hotel can control but something to be aware of. We have been going in and out the hotel a lot (family travel) and each way is about $4 and that adds up. Other than that, it is a great hotel.

Suite was very spacious and clean. Offered bathroom/shower toiletries, pool area had plenty of clean towels, breakfast buffet had good options and the evening social was great! Complimentary dinner that was surprisingly good (LOVED the small salad bar) and drinks. My only complaints were the pillows were too soft on the king size bed and the door isn’t a door rather than 2 small doors that shut together but there’s a gap in the middle. Staff was super friendly and accommodating! Will absolutely being staying at Staybridge hotels in the future.
