"This is a no-frills, basic motel run by a family that lives on site. The owner is very responsive to any requests for extra towels, key problems, etc. It’s right next door to a full-size grocery store. It’s freeway close to all sorts of great Orange County spots. I recommend staying at this reasonably-priced place so you can spend more of your vacation $ on adventures, shopping, and dining out rather than on an expensive posh hotel. Also, the beds were nice and firm."

Grand Legacy At the Park

8/10 Good
"The staff was amazing. The building and location were great. Unfortunately the pillows (all 6 of them) were lumpy and not soft enough. Plus, the refrigerator was loud and vibrated the bed (not in a good way)."
