This is a newly opened HI in the Lake Forest, South Irvine area in California. I have to say I was pleasantly suprised when I checked in. This is the first stay with a new company I've gone to work for and I wasn't sure what their travel agent was going to book.
The property is a 5 stories with underground parking and its right off of the I-5. This is the first brand new HI I've stayed at so I'm not sure if they're all this nice but the fit and decor remind me more of a Starwood property than anything else. Its lots of dark browns and light pastels with paterned wall paper and carpets. The lobby has a restaurant and bar with TV's at the bar and in each booth.
I was given a Priority Club gift at check-in and I'm only a club member and haven't really risen much above that in the last 5 years. It was a water bottle and pretzels in a nice little bag.
The rooms are spacious and everything is new. There is a 32in LCD and their WIFI is free. The king has a sitting chair and foot stool in addition to the desk and it's chair.
My impressions so far are this property is top notch. I don't stay with many Priority Club properties during the year and this is actually my only for 2009, and I was very impressed. If PC gave free breakfast at its top levels at HI's, IC's and CP's I would definately think of swapping some of my HH business.
Happy Travels!
