Mission Viejo Holidays from £779

Great hotel area is active but the hotel is great

This is a small, but modernized 15-room motel. There is no front desk, but instead uses a kiosk with a remote clerk. The LEEF offers extreme convenience, with rooms just feet from cars. The rooms are completely modern and comfortable for 1-2 people. No counter space or coffee maker. That said, I really enjoyed my stay, which I only used for sleeping. Parking is $10 per night, but is limited to about 10 spaces. I was able to get maid service by asking the remote clerk. If you are looking for a no-frills, affordable, clean and quiet place to stay, this is the motel for you.

Clean, quiet, beautiful landscaping and prime location.

We booked a Casita room for a 3 day weekend for our last trip before we have our first baby. I didn’t put any notes or anything on what we were there for, but when we checked in we were informed we had been upgraded to an oceanfront suite. We were blown away by this room. It was massive and had multiple balconies to sit on and enjoy the views. We ended up spending most of our time in the room because it was just the best. We did go to the adult pool and another quiet pool that were both very nice. Megan at the vista pool was great! We had breakfast at the Catalina kitchen a few times which was great. The room service was great. I do wish I had done a little more research and made reservations for the other restaurants on site as they were booked. Overall it was an amazing place and we were so thankful they upgraded us, we didn’t want to leave!

Room was very clean and bed comfortable. Decor a bit dated. Staff was friendly.
