My brother and I stayed here for the night for a festival that was in the area. Staff was helpful, beds are comfortable. Since we only stayed the night I didn’t get a chance to check out the gym or pool area but they sounded nice. They have a little water park for kids which I thought was really cool. I had paid quite a bit for the night because it was a last minute reservation, the lady that checked us in was nice enough to waive our parking fee. Overall I was happy with the hotel and will stay again in the future should I have a need.
We were greeted with a biggest welcoming smile from ELISE at front desk and once she learned that we were celebrating our 25 wedding anniversary she instantly upgraded us to a Suite (Sweet).My wife liked the property so much that we ended up canceling our reservation at JW in LA and Robert at front desk in the morning was able to extend our stay for an extra night. We dinned both nights at the outdoor restaurant and loved the ambiance and the food. The staff was very friendly and gave us some great suggestions for places to visit in Laguna. Thank you for making our stay so special!!!
A go back for us. Unfortunately did not really have time to use the hot tub in our three days. The place is very nice, but it is due for an update though. Everything has been maintained well so they are getting their moneys worth for sure.One bummer of the trip is that when we used our upgrade certs, we wanted a pool view and did not get it.
The ClubSport facility, pool, and the spa services are the only reasons to stay here. The hotel is very clean, staff is nice, and the rooms are nice. The hotel services are restricted to those who are staying at the hotel and therefore I could not meet friends there. I would have liked to hang out at the pool with them. I remember that you could bring two guests in the past but cannot at this time (COVID). The hotel restaurant is a disappointment because the breakfast is only buffet on weekends and I dont come to the hotel to pig out. The night life action has definitely tapered off. I miss the old days I guess.
It was top notch. The best family friendly hotel. The water park was a lot of fun for the kids. I enjoyed the live music on Friday night with the option to leave my little one at kids world while I enjoy a drink, meal and some adult time. The basketball courts and spin classes was a blast. Honestly loved my room as well. It was probably the best resort hotel for families in the OC. Totally will be back again.
This review is based off of my stay. Cool hotel and love the location. The pool area is very nice. Didnt get a chance to use the gym for this quick trip but it looks amazing. Lots of locals come here to work out. Parking is steep for the type of hotel and how far away from the beach it is.Pros- great pool, clean hotel, nice bathroomsCons- parking fee is high, ac at night kept shutting off, uncomfortable beds. The main reason for this low star is the beds! They are so awful I ended up pulling my back the next day. I hope all renaissance are not this way, so disappointing.
Wow! The most amazing gym I’ve ever seen at a hotel. Just a wonderful experience.
Overall hits all the points in a great stay. Have stayed over the years and always consistent in the professional and friendly environment of this well run hotel and sports club. Everything from the front desk where you feel welcomed, to the comfortably bed and bedding in the rooms with the great views, to the great meals at Citrus and the large beautiful gym and pool area. Staff at gym area and pool are always friendly and helpful. I look forward to my next stay.
Renaissance Club Sport Aliso Viejo Laguna Beach Hotel! A name to remember, as this hotel is located near Laguna Beach in California! Prices are a dream; I stayed with my wife for Easter weekend, and we are so happy. Very nice, friendly, and professional Staff. Beautiful lobby with Starbucks coffee bar and Club bar. The room was retro lovely, clean with a comfortable bed. Reception was very helpful in directing us to the welcoming bar and club amenities. I stay at Marriott’s over 85% percent of the year on business, and this one was memorable. We were sad to leave! Overall, I had best stay ever in a Marriott!!! and I will definitely return there, and will recommend this Hotel!!
Great place to get away from it all and stay active! We loved the layout of the property with Spin Classes in the front lobby, Treadmills outdoors with a view of the pool, private & group trainings and many more opportunities inside! The restaurant had a limited menu yet I believe it’s just a sign of the times as we enter post covid and watch everything come alive again! This was a wonderful energizing escape that we needed! The hotel really fills up throughout the day because it also provides gym memberships for local residents. This is not your typical fitness club. All shapes and sizes are here - most members are fit and in the 30+ crowd. The menu doesn’t scream healthy/vegan/restrictive - they also have burgers and other comfort foods available. Starbucks and a deli is also centered in the lobby. Our room was lovely and clean! Hairdryer, and refrigerator was provided. Arturo the server at Citrus Grill was very hospitable and helped put the dodger game on for us!Michael at the front desk was able to provide complimentary toiletries (toothpaste, etc) when I needed them most.Chris, the hotel operator was very professional and resourceful in providing resources.Louise gave us a tour of the property on our first day and explained how the local membership works that each hotel guest receives during their visit. The resort is truly for active lifestyles and the energy you feel when you first walk in encouraging!I would definitely come back and recommend family and friends here as well!
I stayed at Renaissance ClubSport in May 2021 and enjoyed the stay. So I returned again this time. Regretfully, this time was a little disappointed for the following experiences: (1) hand wash sink could not be drained resulting in backflow, but I appreciated Renaissance sent a serviceman to fix it right away; (2) no microwave in room or lobby, when asked lobby front desk receptionist she was not aware of one available, later on I found out Starbucks had one for guest use; (3) the mattress in double beds room are too soft and not as comfortable as King bed; (4) toothbrush and toothpaste could be upgrade to commensurate with a 4-stars hotel status (Hilton 3-Star has better tooth brush and toothpaste). Other than the above, the rest are very good. I would like to return again.
The hotel is in a central location and yet feels secluded and quiet. The amenities are very nice and a great club to work out in. As a status member of the Bonvoy club, I wasnt made to feel very special. No welcome gift, no concierge club,
Stayed a week, would give 4 stars for staff and food. Furniture and surfaces in the room were showing their age, this is the only reason for not being 4 stars.
This is one Resort that has everything you need in one place when it comes to Wellness and Fitness. The food is always great and the service is impeccable. I like Sam that works at the front desk but everyone does a great job. All the guys that work behind the counter to get to the pool area are very inviting, cool dudes.
There was no cart or associate to help us at all with any luggage or items. We had to wait for an hour to get a cart to take our own luggages upstairs. When we checked out the same story, no cart available to bring to us, and no help. We needed help at night when another family member got in and no one cared to help they answered you can take your luggage yourself. We also asked for non down pillows due to an allergy it took them one hour to bring the new pillows, we went to sleep around 1:30 AM because of this issue.
Our family had a great time playing in the kids pool area.. we ate at the restaurant and enjoyed the amenities. However we were pretty disappointed in the room not having a refrigerator. The only reason I will not be staying there in the future would be the price of parking that I didn’t find out about until checkout.
First let me say that the service and the people working at the hotel were all amazing! The reason for 3 stars is that the room itself was not great.-1 star for the toilet. Dont poop in them because they wont flush.-1 star for the shower. They do the half closed shower so if the bathroom door is open enjoy your cold shower. They also have awful shower heads that barely rain water on your head.The people that work at this hotel are fantastic. The room itself is not worth it in my opinion.
We had a wonderful time at this location. We did have some cleanliness issues. There was hair and some black stuff under the pillows. There were huge dust bunnies covering the ceiling over the bed. And the headboard was covered in dust. There was a filthy air vent . Once I found the hair in the bed they offered to change bed or give us another room. They came and completely changed the bed but before that we pointed out all the dust so they took care of that first. Above the air vent there was mold on the wall and two small spots in the shower. Besides all that we had a wonderful stay.
2 day staycation here was fantastic.Michael checked me in. Disappointed that he didn’t mention $27 parking per day - seems excessive yet still a five star experience. Requested a room with a bathtub and it was provided at no additional cost or wait time.Room was missing coffee maker and water bottles yet didn’t take away from a memorable experience.Starbucks downstairs took care of coffee needs.Louise gave me a tour after breakfast as I was interested in becoming a local fitness club member. I didn’t see a lot about social events for locals which would have sealed the deal for me. Still, the cost for membership for a month was cheaper than a month of Resort Pass anywhere else for 2 weeks. Health and wellness are everywhere and the energy is infectious!I think I counted 5 different areas to workout on a treadmill- 3 inside, 2 poolside! The pandemic opened up a lot of opportunities for outside workouts here and they accommodated really well with use of space and canopy’s/tents.Arturo at the Citrus Grill was great at helping to watch the Dodger game during dinner.Forgot a few toiletries at home and Michael at the front desk was able to provide complimentary.Chris - the hotel operator was polite and accommodating.Housekeeping staff is wonderful here - everything is clean and tidy!Very family friendly yet also great for business professionals.Would definitely consider staying here again.
Great location. Quiet area and yet not too far from the ocean and great food. Awesome place for family. It is like staying at an intimate resort. Will definitely recommend this place. Staff were very friendly, professional, and helpful.
This was my second time staying at this property and once again it didnt disappoint. This is a great spot to stay in Orange County, its an Uber ride away from the beach and theres tons of things to do if youre into the active lifestyle. Bob the front desk manager is a really cool guy and has lots of good recommendations for places to go if you get to talk to him. I stayed here as a weekend hall pass away from my normal work life and Ill definitely stay here again.
Nice stay at the Renaissance Aliso Viejo with my infant son. We enjoyed the pool and the outdoor gym. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was huge! Dining and coffee options were limited though (partially because of COVID) and would have been nice to have in room coffee/tea as an option.
This place was awesome from check-in to the room to the many amenities and the food- everything exceeded expectations. Kat at the front desk was so accommodating upon check-in then when she learned of my engagement she sent some goodies up to the room making it feel even more special. We will definitely be back!
Our stay was wonderful! Staff was great; they were kind and helpful. RSpa was awesome. We enjoyed the pool and the food was good. Love that it was a family friendly place and was perfect for a short getaway!
Amazing place for the family, love the amenities. Everything is clean and customer service is great.
When I lived in OC I drove past the location a ton and didnt realize the great hotel that was tucked away. Such comfortable beds. Great service. Easy in/out location. And the gym is the best of any hotel anywhere!
This hotel is beautiful, most of the staff is great and they have lots of amenities. I had a pretty decent stay here, I think the fact that you have to pay just under $30 per night per vehicle for parking is a little absurd, considering the rooms here arent cheap I think that should be included in your room rate. Other then that I have no complaints on this hotel.
It all starts with the management whos poor appearance extends to the female restaurant wait staff. All look like they worked out in sweats and then serve in the restaurant. I stayed a total of 10 days without a single room service attendant entering my room to change the bedding or provide a change of towels.The Bar beverage service was well attended, but the food was not worthy of even a 1 star restaurant. Worst cooked steak I have ever tried to eat. This establishment is not worthy of displaying the Renaissance name.
Stayed here before, and this time on high recommendation from a local who is also a Sport Club member. This stays experience was not typical; it was not good. Maybe Covid-related, maybe it was a fresh batch of hires but in general it seemed like amateurs were at the helm instead of the usual top-tier talent that a Marriot property attracts. Probably will need to give it a few years before its back to standard.
Positive: Great workout area and sauna. Staff was very nice. Negative: Its maybe a 3 star with the cleanliness of the bathroom.
We stayed this hotel because of the basketball courts, and found that they offer much more than that. Fully equipped workout gym, classes, swimming pool, etc. Customer service was excellent and the whole hotel was beautiful. Location is good as well: different types of restaurants, fast food, and grocery stores are within a few minutes. We will definitely come back!
We’ve stayed here before and purposely came back for a quick overnight—-just enough time to shoot some hoops in between activities. Also enjoyed a wonderful dinner poolside and took as a rage of the gorgeous weather. Can’t beat the location with its proximity to Laguna, Irvine, and Newport. Looking forward to our next stay here.
Was a little apprehensive when I booked the Renaissance Club Sport which is an interesting combo of a hotel and gym all rolled up into one. Needless to say I was blown away by my experience. Being there for the hotel I must say its an interesting concept, a luxury modern hotel side by side to a gorgeous gym. Upon arrival I was greeted by the valet in a very warm manner and same with the check in personnel. Check in was smooth and quick and we were up to our room in no time. The room again much to my surprise was impeccably clean and very nicely decorated. Bathroom was very nice in particular their toiletries are top notch. I loved the shampoo! Our view was of the kids splash area (yes a splash area, another surprise) and the Olympic size swimming pool and the gym across. Overall a great nights sleep and would return again. All employees that we came in contact with were very pleasant and made you feel very welcome.
Amazing place to stay. You couldnt ask for more amenities and is very well kept property! Would have gave it 5 stars but the check in and check out were not fun! Room wasnt ready at check in and checking out was a hassle because the have a spin class in the loading area.
Lights are too bright and affect my workout. Make me feel like Im going to pass out or go blind. Not cool. I debate wearing my sunglasses in here every single time because of how the lights brightness makes me feel uneasy
We had a wonderful stay at the Renaissance Clubsport. Our room was clean, spacious and had a gorgeous view. The hotel itself had a very nice vibe and decor. The gym was everything!! I can’t say enough about the staff. All so friendly and accommodating. Corey at the front desk went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
First of all, staff is great and attentive. I enjoy coming to the fitness center and find the facility open, very clean and spacious.
This is a beautiful hotel with an upscale vibe, excellent bar with great appetizers and pretty good food in the deli. Rooms were clean, modern with really nice views from the higher floors. The best of all is the Club fitness facilities. Just about anything sport or workout equipment available. Great stay. Well return soon.
Enjoy the ease of getting around the hotel. The health club, spa, pool area and bar/lounge definitely enhance the pleasure of your stay. The staff is very nice and the rooms are always clean. The valet service and convenient parking are a definite plus. If I had to complain about anything it would be the elimination of the omelet service and the removal of the newspapers. However both those issues are petty. I always feel that the experience is pleasant so will stay there again.
Nice clean room, super comfortable king bed. My wife and our toddler stayed the weekend. Great place for families. The hotel has baby sitting in a day care type environment. The gym is great and the pools fun. The food from the restaurant was decent at best, my wife says my expectations for food are a little high, but realistic is more appropriate. I expected much better for the price. The service was excellent. We had no complaints.
My family of 6 stayed at the Renaissance for a week on July 4 week. As an Ambassador Platinum member for the past 3 years and lifetime Platinum I have stayed in hundreds of hotels and this is one of the best family hotels ever. World class fitness center for the parents and outdoor fun for the kids. We were upgraded to an executive suite with connecting room. Rooms were very spacious with a nice balcony overlooking the kids swim area. The staff were incredibly friendly and took care of all my needs. The check-in staff, Robert was especially accommodating and kind. Will definitely be coming back. My kids will be upset with me if we dont.
Nice place and service; they set up an outdoor gym for fitness fans; and have a lap pool; unfortunately it also has a $42 charge for overnight parking. About 30% of the nightly rate. Really!? when did Southern California SUBURBS start charging for parking?
Really nice hotel in a fantastic area. The lobby restaurant has a decent happy hour, the freakin nachos are amazing and 10$ which is cheap for LA. My room was odd, it had no furniture other than a desk chair, and sometimes you just want to sit in a nice chair and watch TV. Otherwise it was clean, bright and comfortable. The toiletries were good quality. Overall one of the best hotels Ive stay at in the area.
Nice hotel with friendly helpful staff. The attached gym is huge. As a hotel guest, you get full gym access including the indoor and outdoor classes. Close to SNA airport too.
Overall hotel is well decorated and clean but staff needs more training and the rooms are missing coffee maker, refrigerator. Almost like they skimp out on the little things. Not sure I would return but not a bad hotel.
The staff here is amazing. They always go above and beyond. They were trained and raised right! I remember I was walking to the hotel to go up to my room when my hot chocolate spilled. It spilled all over the lobby. Two individuals immediately came and were so kind about it. They didnt even ask my name or room number, they remembered who I was. A few minutes after being in my room, I hear a knock on the door, they brought me a new hot chocolate at no extra charge. They are truly amazing. Ive stayed here several times and will continue to. Great hotel!
Great place. Clean, lots of classes and workouts. Though we never subscribed to any. Lots of workout equipment and choices. Good choice of qualified instructors. Clean showers and locker rooms. Open late, until 10 pm, was useful for us. Expensive compared to most other options, but then, this is not a gym but a club sport location. They do offer corporate partner discounts. I recommend this place.
First the positives. Great experience with the hotel/gym vibe. We enjoyed using the facilities and the staff was very nice.The negatives I only have 2. If you have allergies the room may make you feel dry and we really could have used a humidifier. The last is the beds are so hard it makes a over night stay unbearable especially after a good workout. Very unfortunate.
Very nice accomodations. Could have used a fridge in our room but overall, very enjoyable! The breakfast was phenomenal.
The full featured commercial fitness club and pool are very unique. Bar, health bar and food offerings are above average as well.
I really enjoy my stay at this hotel. I am always comparing Marriott hotels to one another and this one, is at the top of my list. For titanium members, the breakfast is the full hot buffet. The hotel did remove the option to order omelets and it is a $6 upcharge now. Beside not having omelets anymore and they only serve runny eggs on the buffett, I still enjoy my stay. Be aware, the breakfast isnt always ready at 6 am, so have a little time to spare in the morning.
Great place to go when its hot. We love the pool. They added an outdoor bar last year and it really makes the pool a much better experience. I only wish there were a few less kids at the pool. They need to have an adult only area in my opinion.The gym has to be one of the best around. They have great classes, my favorite being the spin classes. The gym equipment is first class. Its a little expensive but worth it in the end for us since we dont have a pool at home and its right down the street.
My family and I do spend the weekend in this Hotel, my son loves te pool side and my wife cant get enough of their nice meals
Id highly recommend this hotel. It was clean and quiet (despite the hubbub of activity and guests). Theres a nice patio where you can comfortably sit and lounge--perfect for an afternoon drink. There is an enormous fitness facility on site so definitely bring work out clothing. Theres some nice turf by the pool (there are pools for lap swimming and play) that was excellent for a morning work out. We loved our room--according to my Fitbit, I slept better than I have in months. It was dark and quiet and terrifically comfortable. The staff was great.It was a $16 uber away from a lot of shops and restaurants and action. Theres an In-N-Out reasonably nearby. Driving around was easy. It was a 15 minute drive from Laguna Beach. I dont think theres anything really in walking distance, but that didnt hold us back. Id stay here again, no question.
Great location and family friendly fare with lodging and amenities to accommodate everyone. The pool is awesome because there is a dedicated kids pool station where it is very kid friendly and they have lifeguards to assist. Also, the fitness center was spectacular- it is the best fitness center in a hotel that Ive experienced thus far with all the amenities of a full-service gym.
Awesome gym with amazing equipment, free weights, space, rehydration centers, and amenities in the locker room such as hot tub, steam room, sauna, towel service, lockers with locks, individual showers, and toiletries. The pools were great, including several childrens areas. The outdoor poolside deck had a great ambiance with fireplaces and music. The food was high-quality and the service was exceptional. The rooms are average - no complaints, but also not noteworthy. I will drive out of my way to stay at this hotel again and I highly recommend it. (In the calendar year, this hotel was my 9th Marriott stay and Marriott is my brand of choice).
We have children and grandchildren in the area so stay here quite often. Our stay is always enjoyable! Staff so friendly and helpful, rooms pleasant and cheery, and food is delicious at Citrus Restaurant! This hotel respects what a handicap room should be....for the disabled and also for the non handicapped spouse. I have spent too many nights at hotels where there is nothing other than a shirt size closet or no shelves for me to put makeup on because everything is geared for the handicapped, but l was delighted to discover that I could hang up my dresses, wash my hair with a real shower head and have full length mirrors to put on makeup. My husband and I were both delighted! A great stay!!!!!
During Covid 19, most spotless place/hotel I stayed, hands down.
Location to laguna beach was why we found the place for me my wife and 20 yr old daughter but its much more than that. We all thought it was a special place. The workout facilities and pool are top notch. Everyone was friendly and professional. The rooms were a good size (double queen bed). We had a great breakfast. We only stayed a day but youcan be sure were coming back
I have been staying at the Renaissance ClubSport in Aliso Viejo/Laguna Beach for over two years now coming every week from the East Coast for business. This is the only hotel that I can say meets all my needs as a business traveler. Perhaps the only caveat for some folks is the location but for me, I have been driving to and from my client site (near Irvine Spectrum) consistently 18 minutes each way, no problem. This hotel is worth the commute, they have awesome staff, who treats you like youre family. The atmosphere actually changes as you go around the facility. Theres the fun and energetic feel when you walk in toward Citrus Grill. Then a sense of freshness and calmness when you step into the R Spa. Youll then see rejuvenated, health conscious members walking in and out of the huge gym with high quality facilities and instructors. Dont miss the refreshing and vibrant atmosphere at the poolside. The Aliso Town Center is a stones throw away if you feel like getting some food variety or want to wind down at the theater.Its a busy hotel but for some reason, the staff and overall feel of the facility just makes you feel like its your home away from home. Bottom line, I believe this is the recipe for a good and strong relationship between loyal customers and Marriott...appreciate one another - it goes a long way!
It was a beautiful hotel with a lot to offer. We only stayed one night, but want to come back and stay longer and enjoy all it has to offer. The only thing I would change is the shower, I would add another door because the cold air comes in, and the shower head did not have a lot of pressure. But overall its a beautiful hotel, everyone was very nice and it has something to offer the whole family. My kids want to go back and use the gym and my granddaughter wants to go to the play area.
Nice, clean and friendly staff. Beautiful layout. Not to far from the beach. No complaints. Well only 1.....Bar closes at 10, but other than that, enjoyed my stay.
We had an overall wonderful experience at the Renaissance ClubSport Aliso. The rooms were clean, stylish and had great views. The staff were very friendly and made sure we were taken care of with all our needs. We literal stayed in the hotel the whole time we were there. Food was amazing and perfect for our healthy habits.
Modern, clean & very friendly staff. Solid COVID-19 protocols. SUPER comfy bed & awesome pillows. The 3 stars is bc when I went to check into the hotel, the loading area was chock full of a spin class. All for making accommodations for people to work out, but as a first time guest, it was super weird & inconvenient. Otherwise highly recommend.
The hotel is an excellent value for a short business or leisure trip. The spa and gym made the entire trip completely worth it! The décor is stylish and up to date and appeals to the hip, young crowd (of which I am not!). I loved the common areas of the hotel and the addition of the gym onsite was a nice benefit to the trip.
On the first day of our stay, we noted some problems which were brought to the attention of the front desk. The response was immediate and someone was sent up to correct the issue very quickly. Many thanks for the quick response.
The suite was spacious and comfortable. However there was a housekeeping issue after the first night There is a $27 per day charge for parking. There is no club lounge. The breakfast buffet is $25 and very few offerings. We were told there is an extra charge one wants eggs cooked to order. The final issue was that somehow my points were not credited correctly by about 7,350. The hotel is well located. We did not use the gym, but I am sure it is adequate, possibly an extra charge to use it. We just wanted to look and they made us sign in, so assuming we would have been charged if we spent more than 2 minutes.
Renaissance ClubSport provided a high quality experience during our recent visit. Very nice room, quality and clean facilities, good food and reasonable prices.
Bathroom smelled bad, more like sewer odor despite we stayed in higher floor. They also missed the general cleaning of bathroom during our 3-day stay.
Enjoyed a quick stay to see a relative sho lives nearby. Great gym facilities in the hotel and the room was clean and comfortable. The only detraction... the in-room coffee machines are archaic and the coffee is a really poor grade. I like to wake up very early and have a cup of coffee so it made the stay not much fun.
Desk check in staff very friendly. No wipes at the elevator or in the room. No help to deliver welcome gifts to friends from out of state. Paying for parking was annoying and expensive.
A beautiful property themed around health, fitness and luxury pampering in their onsite spa. Two pools, great outdoor seating area with fire tables. Rooms are spacious and the amenities are very nice. Only 15-20 minutes from Laguna Beach.
This hotel is top notch! Amazing gym with pool. Water play area for the kids! Staff is friendly and professional. Room is modern and clean. Laguna Beach is just 10min away. Perfection
My favorite hotel hands down. The workout facilities and classes are incredible. The breakfast was splendid, and the rooms were clean and well maintained. Id suggest going to as many workout classes as you can! The boxing and release classes were great.
Ive stayed at the Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo Hotel three times in the last 12 months and cant wait to come back. Its clean, stylish, energizing and the staff are always very friendly & helpful. The kids pool is nicely heated and they have a wonderful mini-water park that is AWESOME for the kiddos. The food at the restaurant is delicious and the cocktails are wonderful. The lounge is active at night and we love to bring our family - that lives near the hotel - over for drinks & appetizers. The rooms are comfortable & clean. The Kids Club is great for dropping your kids for a little adult time either working out at the BEAUTIFUL gym, just lounging poolside with your partner sans-kids, or having some cocktails at the bar - like a date night. We love staying here and plan to be back soon!
This hotel gives you access to a full workout facility, including a 25 yard pool. Nice place to get a workout in while youre at the hotel. And the workout facilities are NICE! Lockers, showers with amenities, plenty of towels, etc. - better than most clubs. Take advantage of it!
The hotel location was perfect for visiting my girlfriend. Apart from that, the hotel itself is really wonderful. Everything is super nice and well kept, and the staff are pretty friendly. The room was excellent. They were always cleaned through and through, and the courtesy soap, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions were always well stocked for the next day. I would recommend this hotel and would honestly go back again to this exact location to visit my beautiful girlfriend.
It’s a gym, restaurant, bar, coffee shop and a hotel! Great way to spend the day. Sometimes service is a little off but the management team will make it right. I have been going to the gym for several years and it’s more like a community. I have met so many great friends here. Check our Wine Wednesday and live events on the patio. If you have younger kids use the daycare to treat yourself to a date night.
First off the area is super nice! Then the staff at check in and out was super nice and explained everything well. Secondly I got what I asked for and the room smells good plus is up to date and very clean the bathroom is amazing also! Just no balcony! We got a city view room and we can see the outside where the pools are and the city! 🌃 then we went to the pools it was so nice that they had a kid area it was perfect for my 18 month old since they have their own kid pool 1 1/2 feet down and jacuzzi plus the water park then the regular pools were amazing all pools heated and jacuzzi was super so comfy to top it off they had live music playing at the citrus grill they’re restaurant so it was more relaxing we ate dinner there and the food was super good ! We got a package that includes breakfast and it was a buffet which was good but the servers were good!
Was a guest of the hotel for one night and wish I could have stayed another. Love the hotel concept of also being a gym. The gym is huge and complimentary when a hotel guest. They have a number of different classes you can take; although due to my schedule I could not take advantage. There is also a large pool area including a section for children. The hotel has a juice bar going along with the health, spa theme. Unfortunately, I did not have time for the spa. I did have room service for dinner and that was good as well. What makes the hotel special, however, is the staff. Check in was flawless and the front desk associate was more than helpful including giving me directions for my trip without my even asking. i should have asked her name. She went out of her way to provide excellent customer service. That is what the hospitality business should be about. Thank you.
It ended up being a fantastic stay, however, had a rocky start! There was a miscommunication about the needs of our room - 6 months ago I reserved a room with two beds and requested a rollaway. I called about a month ago to confirm the reservation and rollaway request as we needed a room to sleep 5 (my husband, myself, and our three sons). I was told, at check-in, that we had a room with two beds but they were not able to accommodate the rollaway request; the room could only sleep a total of 4 due to fire hazards. I was quite irritated as no one contacted me about the rollaway request, nor was I told when I called to confirm the room for 5 people + rollaway bed. Ultimately, they were able to accommodate us by moving us to a larger room which came with a higher price. They were able to work with us on the room rate, however, we were still disappointed in the added cost.One of the main reasons we chose this hotel was because of all of the amenities it offers....access to a full gym to include a great schedule of classes (spinning, Pilates, yoga, and Zumba to name a few) , swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, a restaurant with healthy options, location to Aliso and Wood Canyon trails (trail running, hiking, mountain biking galore), a full size basketball court, and racquetball courts. There was something for everyone in my family to enjoy...except the basketball court was being repaired - no access to the basketball or racquet ball courts which were major disappointments to my 13 and 15 year olds. I believe in top notch customer service and believe it appropriate to advise guests of major renovations and/or unavailability of major amenities during their stay.I am still able to give this hotel a 4-star (out of 5) because, aside from these issues, it was a great place - the staff was very friendly and the hotel still had a lot to offer. I would definitely stay here again, but would specifically ask if any amenities would not be available and if our room/rate could be guaranteed
Usually I don’t workout when I travel at the fitness facilities of hotels but here I was motivated. Lots of weight machines, treadmills and many more. They have a sauna and a very nice pool. The rooms are comfortable and they feel upscale. Friendly staff.
We enjoyed our week stay at this friendly, extraordinary hotel. The room was very nice with features like Wi-Fi and Internet, and a modern bath. We enjoyed the great breakfast buffet and smoothies (recommend the monster anti-oxidant shake) at the snack bar. The gym/sport facility is the best I have ever encountered at a hotel. There is a lap pool in addition to the regular one. Elevators are super fast. Valet Parking is great, although our son usually parked his car (we were visiting him). Touches like ice water dispensers and newspapers near the elevators are very nice. Overall, this is one of the best hotels we have had the pleasure of staying at.
Hotel itself, amenities and staff were amazing! Only real issue we had was with housekeeping. We were out of the room for several hours a day and would come back to dirty room. The days that they would actually clean the beds were kind of made and they took ALL towels and ALL glassware from the room without restocking (realized this at 5:30am when I went to shower) - overall we were very impressed with the hotel and all it has to offer. We used the kids club, pool area, fitness center, spa and both the restaurant and room service. We stayed for 10 days and were very comfortable. Location was a bit of a downer as its in a business park type of setting, so if you want to do something off property you have to drive. But the beach is about 15 min away and Disney was 30 min - so not terrible! Wed definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family!!!
I enjoyed my stay. Going to Laguna Beach was a bucket list item. The hotel was well manicured. The flowers are so excellent. Its location is excellent. Near bunches of restaurants and fun activities. Very near the beach. On a hill which was good for exercise. It is clean. The bed was tooo comfortable. So many amenities that I cant name them all. The staff was excellent.
I stay at this property regularly for work. Everyone who works there is a pleasure and they always make me feel welcome. The valets, front desk staff, bartenders, and breakfast staff are all very friendly and happy to help. This is definitely one of the better Marriott properties in Orange County.
Positive: Amenities, staff is courteous, responsive and accommodating. Negative: Parking fee; room location was good but needed a little face lift.
Nice Hotel, In case you are wondering all the outdoor pools are open, including the kids splash park. Downside, you have to pay for parking and there is no breakfast.
Great place to stay. Room, pool, gym and location were perfect. Also had an awesome boxing/workout class with trainer Frank.
Had not expected the sports facility and pool area to be so incredible. We were in town for a family party and not everyone knew to bring work out clothes. Those that did, really loved the gym! Lively and modern hotel. Nice clean and quiet room.I always prefer a make-up mirror and a wall safe, but this hotel did not have those amenities. Considering everything else at the hotel, I thought this was strange.
My husband and I enjoyed a week at the Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo and cant wait to return. Rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable and the staff is friendly. We had no problems at all. The bathroom is fantastic with a spa like shower. Definitely take advantage of the ClubSport aspect - workout or take some classes. The instructors are amazing. We will definitely return to this hotel again for our next trip to Laguna Beach. We had a rental car so it was easy to get to Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Crystal Cove and San Diego. Plenty of restaurants, casual dining and shopping available in the area too. We are glad we stayed here instead of a beach front hotel.
Being an athletically fit person who loves to workout and eat right this hotel hits all the marks. also traveling with my 2 year old it hits all the marks to keep your little one entertained. the staff is fantastic, the restaurant has many healthy food options and the fitness club is top notch
All I can say is this hotel is excellent. Well kept, clean, helpful and friendly employees everywhere you go and a lot of activities due to the fact the gym, spa and pool are located on premise. The gym and its activities along with a very clean and spacious pool area are all included in the stay price which for me is a big plus. The hotel is located in beautiful Aliso Viejo, CA which is a town that has everything you could need for your stay. One of the highlights of this hotel is there is a Starbucks in the Lobby and a juice bar which are two of the things I look for every day. Overall, you wont be disappointed if you stay at this hotel, but please dont tell all your friends because I want a room to be available for me when I return next year!
This Hotel is a great place for work. The Gym is fantastic and actually encourages work out. The pool is great too. Overall an excellent place to stay, work and workout. The staff is very helpful to the needs of the guests. The only area of improvement that I could see is the menu at the Citrus Grill. The menu was very repetitive, predictable and boring. The breakfast menu has not changed for many years. The dinner menu also was not all that inviting. If this aspect can be improved, this place could be even greater.
The title came from my 7-year old son who had actually stayed in many many hotels and Resorts around the world - and by far, this is his favorite. The Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo Laguna Beach is indeed my top of the list...though there are about over 10 other hotels closer to my client site and this one is roughly 18-minute drive, I do not mind it primarily because it offers everything that I need as a business traveler to balance my work and personal life. The Fitness Center is awesome...with group fitness classes being offered as early as 5:30AM and as late as 7:30PM. Not to mention that the entire gym is open from 4:00AM-11:00PM with basketball court, Jacuzzi, steam and sauna...immaculate and huge locker rooms! It also has Spa, 3 different pools and a Splash pool for kids. Not to mention the day care...different activities like Taco Tuesday, Beer/Wine Tasting and various events. Stylish and vibrant Bar area. Food at the Citrus Fresh Grill is terrific, healthy that will not hurt your pocket... and the best breakfast buffet Ive ever had (they still continue to improve what they currently offer). Hotel staff from valet to housekeeping is yet another great reason that makes this hotel - The BEST! As an Elite member I also get to use the complimentary self parking (ample space) and invite as much as 4 guests to the Fitness Center.Hands down, Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo Laguna Beach Hotel is my HOME away from home! THANK YOU for everything that you do! This hotel should be the new standard that everyone should be following!All the best to all!Happy and grateful Mrs. K from NY
We have now stayed here for the past year and a half. I was searching for a place that was baby friendly. Im happy to report, they have microwaves and fridges upon request so we could keep (formula then) food and snacks at the ready. The cribs have always been clean, the bed are comfy and there is enough space to move around and let my little guy play.The Food (Room Service and Restaurant)Top Notch, I love eating here. In most cases, we never leave for food.The Gym/ChildcareAgain, it was super important when I was looking for baby friendly hotel that I could feel comfortable leaving my little man in someone elses care. They have a separate infant area for babies who can not walk. It has swings, its behind doors so its quite, they have high chairs, play mats, etc. The women in there care SO much about the babies. I dont leave my child with anyone, but they made me feel comfortable and he always comes back happy.The gym is amazing. So clean, the classes are always full and they have towels and infused water. Its great!Swimming PoolThis one gets a separate review because WHERE can you find a kids only, heated pool. This was great. My little man likes to swim and this is a clean place for him to do just that.
We really liked this hotel. It is really good if you like to work out. It has an amazing gym for a hotel, a great lap pool, very nice jacuzzi and steam rooms and saunas in the locker rooms. It is hotel connected to a fitness facility. It is in a very nice area but if you do not have a car it is not too convenient to things. We run a lot so we ran several places while we were there but if you dont have a bike and dont want to run everywhere you will either need an Uber or a rental car as it is not too close to things. We really loved it. The staff was really nice, the setting was great and the food was great. We will stay there again.
We had difficulty in receiving service. The Front Desk was unattended, repeatedly. The Citrus Grill never came to our table to get our order. Towels were not available at the pools. The pools were not available to guests throughout most of the day. Guest room bathrooms are lacking even one towel rack to dry out your used towels, yet the hotel offers loyalty points if you forego housekeeping. They appear to have an active Fitness Center, but hotel hospitality is lacking.
The group classes, fitness facilities/equipment, restaurant and hotel rooms are all great! Our family likes to workout together as well as dine afterwards. The bar area has a fun vibe too - Bartender Will is the best! We have been Members for a few years and love the community feel. Shout out to Coach Ely who motivates us to train hard!
I have stayed at this hotel on at least 30 separate occasions over the last 7 years and it is such a special place. The fitness center, the social areas -fire pits, bar, and most importantly the people are exceptional. The team really doesnt turnover so it speaks volumes. Living in Manhattan my total travel time is considerable so when I arrive and am greeted so enthusiastically it makes a difference. Elizabeth leaves a handwritten note and a welcome gift that is completely not necessary but sooooo very much appreciated. I have stayed at a number of incredible hotels in my life and it is not hyperbole when I say the Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo Laguna Beach is my favorite. Keep up the amazing work!!
Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo is a hotel I love visiting. I would have visited and stayed at the hotel an average of 4-6 nights each of the last 3 years. It helps that it is a stones throw from my office.But to me the key is that this is a place that is warm, welcoming and has positive vibes about it. Airy rooms and open spaces make the rooms seem larger and the open spaces encourage collaboration. It is very sportsy and so has a buzz around the place even till late in the evening.The staff has been great to interact with and have a ready and welcoming smile at all times. The rooms are very clean and the hotel is eco friendly as well.All in all a place I will recommend to anyone, whether they are looking to stay for a couple of days for leisure or for business.
Those who value a great workout will absolutely get their monies worth at this location. We go early and leave late so we can get a long swim, sun bathing, and extra workouts on both days.
I stayed there to get away and enjoy some alone time. The facilities were amazing, especially the fitness center.
I stayed two nights at the Renaissance and they were two great nights. Im an avid gym goer/fitness enthusiast so this hotel/sport club really fit my needs perfectly. The staff was professional and quick to address any needs or questions. The lobby atmosphere was relaxed and energetic at the same time. My king size bed was comfortable and the room was quiet as a mouse, two musts for any hotel stay.The sports club was almost too much to take in. It has every kind of conceivable class, equipment and amenity.My only regret was not taking time to enjoy the spa.
Work trip was postponed, so cancelled reservation with one day notice. Hotel has a three day policy, so they charged my personal credit card $200.00 bucks. 72 hours - are you kidding me? When did Marriott place short- term profits above customer loyalty? GM never even returned my call.
Family, fitness and relaxation friendly. We really enjoyed our 2 day staycation here enjoying the pool and exercise facilities. They have inexpensive daycare for the times that parents need a break and a great little restaurant. Beautiful area.
As a sports enthusiast, it was a delight to find a hotel that offered a mega-sports club as amenity. The lobby and bar were bright and full of energy, but noise didnt trickle up to the rooms at all. The room was large and decor bright and modern. The bed was very comfortable and the staff helpful and friendly.My frustration was that the room was more decorative than functional. The frosted glass door to the bathroom let light through, so if one of us got up in the middle of the night, the entire room was lighted up. Plus there was an electric eye light in the entry and bath that turned on all the lights when I got up. Fine, if you are staying there alone, but a major pain when sharing a room. Also the AC seemed to be on a rolling schedule, so every other hour you were stuck with 75 degrees no matter what you set the thermostat on. I woke up in a sweat several times a night. Im not sure if these inconveniences would keep me away again because the place was otherwise so nice and I really loved having access to the sports club.The location is near the Aliso Viejo or Laguna Niguel suburbs of Orange County, about 10 minutes drive to nice beaches. A perfect location for us to visit family and still be near the beach.
Probably one of the best gyms I have ever been to. You can find a class for any fitness level here and their weight rooms are well organized, clean, and have a wide variety of exercise tools. I especially like the fruit flavored waters available in the gym. The locker rooms are also very clean and spacious.The daycare is also exceptional and the kids always seem to have so much fun playing there.After working out I recommend getting a smoothie at the cafe in the center of the hotel lobby.My only complaint would have to be the sound system in the main gym class room (Gym 1 I think). The amp is turned up too high which causes distortion in the speakers (or the speakers are damaged). They could fix this problem by turning down the volume just a notch or two to make the sound better.
Great place for younger guests who like to hang out at the pool/bar. Conventional business travelers who are older will find hotel food decent but snacks. Coffee for sale is ok, not great. Needs quicker breakfast service and a more comprehensive store with newspapers, actual things to buy rather than spa products. Products in back of store are few, poorly selected.
Location is great if youre staying in Aliso Viejo. The access to the full gym and pool are amazing. They have great water play area for kids although we did get kicked out of the kid pool because they were doing some exercise training. We had a view of the roof but you cant win every time. Overall it was a great place to stay
This hotel was a pleasure to stay in-from the quality of the food, to the comfort of the beds, to the hospitality of the staff, to the variety of equipment in the best gym I have ever used-it was all top-of-the line! I would recommend this hotel to anyone, single, couple or family. They have something for everyone. The only negative thing that I have to say about this hotel/gym is that I wish there was one closer to my home! Thank you so much for such a wonderful and restful weekend. I am looking forward to my next stay!
We spent Presidents Day Weekend there with our bikes. The hotel is very nice and so is the fitness center. Our room & bedding was very comfortable and had plenty of room for our bikes. We enjoyed good food and cocktails at the Citrus Grill and also walked to nearby mall for lunch and a movie one afternoon. The rest of the time we took our bikes to the Aliso Creek Trail, which was awesome, and just two miles from the hotel. The area is very bike-friendly. We brought our bikes on the train and rode 7 miles to the hotel from the Laguna/Mission Viego Metrolink station.
I was in Aliso Viejo visiting my aunt who is a member of the club. We went for the afternoon with my teen daughter and 5 year old cousin. We used the cardio and weight room then the pool. The staff is so courteous. Kerri Doucette in Membership was very hospitable. The gym is very clean, beautifully laid out, and has all the best equipment. The pool is beautiful. Felt like I was at a resort. I highly recommend this club and hotel to anyone visiting Orange County.
Probably the best hotel I have stayed in. Service was great. My room and key was ready before arrival so check in took like 30 seconds. All amenities I asked for were already in the room. Two pools and a jacuzzi. Not too far from the beaches either. Starbucks on property with great smoothies. Will definitely stay here again.
The hotel is very clean with an open floor plan in the lobby. There is a fitness center off to the left upon the entrance of the hotel. Nice size lap pool in the back. The rooms are a good size with comfortable beds and pillows. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast and while on the small size you can ask for made to order eggs, waffles, etc. The lunch/dinner menu have imaginative combinations. Parking is either valet or self-both have charges. Hotel is located in an area not far from other restaurants, shops and theaters of which you need a car.
Nice hotel and spa. The sports club have racquetball and basketball court. We stayed as hotel guest, staff is great, rooms are clean, the pool and the water playground instructor is nice. Love that they have life guards in all pools are playground. If we would live close by will consider being a club member.
I just checked out of the Renaissance Club Sport Aliso; before I forget all the names of the extraordinary individuals that made my overnight stay so pleasant and two company meetings so successful, I wanted to write a review to commend them for their amazing service!Thanks to Courtney, Haley, and Sammie for all the planning that was put into my company meetings and guest room block. Courtney was unbelievably supportive from start until finish and her work ethic was out of this world; her patience, attention to detail, and willingness to work with my schedule ensured a perfect two days for myself, company, and guests.Jason and Eva at the front desk were terrific and did everything to make sure that my stay and guests stay was the very best it could possibly be. They were very attentive and willing to assist with everything.Luis and Jose were spectacular and knew exactly what needed to be done, when it needed to be done, and were extremely respectful of our guests and mindful of our meetings.With amazing customer service and attentiveness like what I experienced the past two days, I cant imagine holding meetings and staying anywhere else. Im very appreciative of the excellent care you put into our meetings, guests, and myself. Thank you very much for a job very well done. You guys deserve all the credit!!! Keep up the excellent work, and I look forward to setting another meeting up with you soon Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo!
Stayed in a two double bed room. Family of 4. Striker Winter Cup Soccer Tournament- Jan. 22-26th. Great concept of full health club embedded into the hotel. We all took advantage of the free fitness classes and great locker rooms. Very accommodating staff, great outdoor fitness pools and amenities. Good value for the room. Wish the beds were queens instead of doubles. Tight for 4 people. Only 15 minute drive to Laguna Beach. Great beach town with cute art galleries and delicious beach side restaurants. Clean, safe, affordable. We would definitely stay here again.
4th trip this year. We drive up from San Diego and pair our stay with golf, dinner, work out, and steam room. Perfect little get away. We feel that we are at home away from home. The fitness center is the best Ive ever seen. Everyone is great! We love it!
Not accommodating, asked for a view and was told i can get one since there were 5 left and will accommodate us but when i checked in concierge told me no, i had to argue with him that i was told i would be accomidated with a view. Was not happy from the very beginning. Booked it online for 2 adults and 2 children with complimentary breakfast for 4 and was charged extra. I had to complain to the concierge again regarding this matter and stated that it was only for 2 adults. At this point I was already ferrous. I had to show proof of my booking reservations that it was for four people. At check out i had to show the concierge again the charges and why was I getting billed extra? We came here to visit my son from college to surprise him, did not expect to have this much issues with hotels, I have stayed at a lot of hotels and never did I encounter this much stress. I wanted to relax with my kids and visit my son from college thinking less stress but this was not the most relaxing weekend. I get that the concierge fixed the issue and appreciated it, but just to waste my time and to argue about billing statements was not the most relaxing time ever. Never again will I stay here.
Fitness club and kids amenities makes this hotel amazing. We would stay again just for that. Rooms could use some maintenance but overall are clean. Staff could be more proactive. Food quality was decent but service was bad. Self parking is easy.
The overall atmosphere was chaotic and stressed me out. It is definitely not a relaxing hotel for any sort of vacation I want to take. We were looking to see if it would be good for our basketball program next year for a large tournament and the answer was no. I would never think to bring a group of young athletic women to a place with such a hectic pick up bar atmosphere. Disappointed.
Beautiful hotel for a great price thru Marriott. Staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. The valets were great, Thu at check in was very helpful and we had a great time in the bar for drinks and snacks. Even the room service attendant was very professional. Overall, a really great hotel experience for a very good price.
We have stayed at this hotel on many occasions over the last five years and have always found the staff and the setting to be excellent. It is tucked upon a little hill and is quiet, yet is in a trendy locale. The staff greet you with smiles and helpful mannerisms. The rooms are spacious, beds comfortable, plenty of pillows offered. There is an on site gym if one is athletic and wishes to exercise while there.
Our family has been staying at the Renaissance hotel in Aliso Viejo for the past 7 years now whenever we visit Orange County. It is an exceptional property with great staffs, very comfortable and bright rooms, a world class fitness center and spa, and restaurant that serves healthy foods. It also has several first class basketball courts and fitness classes inside the fitness center. Needless to say, after a day at the beach, our family likes to use the fitness center to work out and play basketball. The staffs are very attentive to our needs and very friendly. Thank you and please do keep up this great hotel.
The basketball court & gym were tremendous! I wish I had more time to stay & play. Everything was clean and maintained to the highest of standards, and the ambiance was wonderful. Every member of the staff I interacted with was courteous and respectful. I could tell that they love their jobs. I feel more optimistic about life after my stay at the Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo Laguna Beach Hotel.
We had a very nice stay at the Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo. We stayed for a soccer tournament weekend and Im glad our team decided to stay here. The hotel is very clean and the beds are comfortable. It was convenient to have a bar/restaurant in the hotel. We were able to relax at the hotel after the games. I highly recommend this hotel.
I stayed at the hotel for 90 days..and the staff made it my home away from. They were very attentive and caring...especially the wait/kitchen staff at breakfast. All the amenities are great. Also the front desk staff of Agnes Maria, Jocelyn, and Kyle are very attentive to all your wants and needs. Will definetly stay here again on my next visit to the area. Thank you.
Loved the location of the hotel. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The fish tacos @ the bar were delicious. My room was nice and clean and the view was great! Parking was free and the gym was impressive. Great hotel and I would stay here again.
When pulling up in our Uber, we didnt have the best first impression because the valet/door team did not greet us, help with our luggage, open the front door for us. My friends and I expected this when coming to such a hotel as this one. This also occurred several times throughout our stay. Jocelyn, however turned our frowns into smiles as soon as she greeted us in for check in. She was amazing, helpful and a delight. She was very hospitable and talkative, it was refreshing. She also kindly took care of our breakfast and we very much appreciated this. The breakfast made our morning quick and simple, as well as delicious. Arturo was an amazing waiter. I ordered a half order of French toast and asked for berries to come with. He said it was additional ended up not charging me, I thought this was very sweet and it made me much more likely to come back and receive the same great service at your restaurants again someday. You have a great front desk agent and restaurant employee (unsure of title) on your team please award them for their outstanding effort in making your guests stay stand out!
Overall a good stay, mediocre to be honest. The breakfast buffet was the highlight, lots of options, tons of protein and great kitchen/wait staff. Check in was slow, 5 people behind us and a 15 minute wait while we were in a rush to head off to a wedding. Noisy and could hear every little thing even after requesting a quiet room. Facilities were great, room is average, I have stayed in much better Renaissances, seems almost outdated, definitely in 5 years it will be. Needs to be refreshed to be as nice as the public areas and the gym is ridiculously gorgeous / nice. Would stay here just for the gym access to be honest.
Overall a great place. The staff was friendly and professional, the gym is amazing and the room was very nice. I am not a fan of showers without doors that close or rainfall shower heads, but other than that, it was great!
Finding my visit to So. CA taxing and stressful my hotel stay at the Renaissance in Aliso Viejo was a god send. The property, accommodations and price were all wonderful for me, providing a place to recharge during the evening. My room was stylish, yet not sterile and the bar/restaurant was a great place to unwind. My only regret was not having the energy to enjoy the beautiful pools I looked at every night from my room.
The full health club / hotel combination is great offering full access to all facilities. The area is very pleasant and near plenty of services, activities, and Laguna Beach. The rooms are fresh and bright making time spent in the room very pleasant.
Spent the holidays visiting family in Aliso Viejo and stayed again at ClubSport just up the hill from them. The use of the Jacuzzi outside and the pool are a real treat for those of us escaping the Midwest snow and cold. The breakfast buffet is always awesome with unlimited bacon and sausage. Perfect waffles. It was unusually windy and there were some issues with the outdoor spa and the pool needed cleaning occasionally, but staff remedied the situation(s) as they occurred without too much inconvenience. Wait staff in Citrus was especially efficient and welcoming, even though pretty busy with the holiday guests. There is a wonderful special offer for friends and family of members of the ClubSport facility that allow for free parking and reduced room costs plus complimentary breakfast buffet. Such a great deal!!!
We stayed one night and felt thoroughly pampered. The hotel has an incredible fitness center & huge basketball court. Indoor and outdoor bars & a few different pool areas. Our room was spotlessly clean & the shower head in the bathroom was large & luxurious. Location is great - near shopping and Laguna Beach.
I have been a frequent guest at this hotel since it first opened. I really appreciate the professionalism and wonderful service of the staff here. The hotel is very hip and open. The outdoor patio is really to relax during the day with foods or at night over the outdoor fire place. The best part is the wonderful and very large gym, spa, complete with many first class basketball courts and raxquetball courts. The servers at the Citrus restaurants, Roberto and Alberto, during breakfast are fantastic. They have been at the same restaurant for over 10 years. I kept coming back here since it is the best hotel in the area.
We chose this hotel as a Marriott property near Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach. It was a very nice hotel— oriented toward adults— and we had preteens along. It was fine because we actually spent little time at the hotel.There was a misunderstanding with the cleaning staff that resulted in our room not being cleaned. We were there only two nights. It was not a big deal in my opinion.We also had an issue with our air conditioner. It was quickly and easily solved by their maintenance.
Attractive and convenient hotel. Fitness center is top notch, restaurant provides healthy if limited menu, and rooms are set up for work and to unwind. Excellent choice especially for travelers wanting easy access to an excellent fitness center.
Overall great hotel property with beautiful grounds, swimming pool and a state of the art, fully equipped pro gym. Only downside during our stay was the below par responsiveness of the front desk and the fact that room service did not show up for one day during our 4-day stay.
We stayed 2 nights at the Renaissance, and although its a very nice trendy hotel- we only had a room with double beds and there was no in room fridge. We are a family of 4 so this made it very hard. Also the Citrus grill turns into a bar at night and so anyone under 21 is not allowed so we never ended even using the pool because its directly behind the restaurant. We were there on vacation, so were gone during the day so we never used the fitness facilities or the pool. If it were just my husband and I- we may have used it, but not with kids.
Great hotel. Great staff. Really stylish interior and decor. Cant say enough about this place. If you need to stay in the area, this is one of your best options. Just has a nice clean cool and hip vibe. The lobby bar and restaurant is an awesome place to eat have drinks meet people and have fun. Highly recommended!
Awesome place ! This facility had great food ! Good drinks .. lots of play area for adults and kids alike . Def worth the money ….
Such a beautiful hotel and sports club. Whether youre there to relax in one of their nicely decorated rooms or enjoy the gym, spa amenities they offer. Youll have a great time here. The kid friendly environment is a plus if youre doing a family vacation. They offer a kids pool, slide, and hot tub (warm tub) haha. The bar area is nice and cozy. They have a juice/smoothie bar also for more healthy option. The restaurant offers a nice variety of tastey food. Didnt try the spa which is something well do on our next visit.
I stay at quite a few hotels for my job and this was one of the better stays in recent memory. Honestly, the gym sold it for me. It had every machine I needed and the water bar was exactly what the doctor ordered. I appreciated being able to wake up in the morning and get a really good workout in.
Im a member at Renaissance and I come to work out and enjoy the pool/sauna area. I love the gym area and that they provide awesome group fitness classes. The restaurant has great food. And the staff is always so friendly. Love this place!
My wife and I recently stayed with our friends at the Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo - Marriott and had an amazing time. There is a workout facility on site with classes and everything from a full size basketball court to racquetball. All inclusive! They have a nice buffet in the morning and a good indoor and outdoor bar atmosphere. The rooms are clean and fairly updated, so a really nice place to stay with a reasonable price! Melinda is the hotel manager and she is amazing along with the staff! Highly recommend it when looking for a place to stay!
This is a trip worth making. The Hotel/SportClub experience is a plus! I am a Lifetime Premier Member, so I thought I had stayed at every brand of Hotel under the Marriott umbrella. I did not know anything about this brand. I simply wanted to get away and sleep and workout. Well I know how beautiful Aliso Viejo is so I searched for a Marriott and found the Renaissance ClubSport. The quality of the fitness classes and instructors are professional level. This is NOT 24 Hour or LA Fitness...This is real competitor level fitness. The Food, the SportsClub, the nightly bar/patio activities are a vacationers dream!! The staff and amenities make this a wonderful place to plan a trip. I will be returning...Thanks
I had a free night with Marriott and picked this hotel based on the pool. My boyfriend and I thought the hotel was a hidden gem and perfect for couples or if we wanted to come back with our kids. It was great! I wish I brought my tennis shoes to use the gym.
This hotel is by far the best Ive stayed at under the Marriott name! Staff is friendly. Even when you walk in, it smells amazing! Love the gym aspect of the hotel! I appreciated the family locker room. The only thing thats missing is a theater! Lol
Unexpected hotel gem in aliso video for those looking for a quiet location with a fabulous gym and great bar and grille. The lap pool and spa were a wonderful way to wind down after a day in Laguna and the atmosphere in the bar at night enticed us to stay up for one more drink. Breakfast workout followed up with a lite meal before heading out for a round of golf and another day in Laguna made for a wonderful weekend.
I have been a frequent guest and have also been a long term guest. Unfortunately, a few Hotel changes have been unfavorable and unpleasant, from the omelette bar and buffet items being removed. In addition, the fruit and water being removed from the elevator lobby is also a disappointment. The rooms are still outdated (old carpet and deteriorated furniture). The noise is still resonant from room to room (hollow walls, lack of noise dampening). The positive is the morning Citrus Grill, Front Desk, and Floor staff, who are polite and attentive. Cesar (Citrus Grill), Sam (Front Desk), Daniel (Floor) are a prime examples of what makes a Company/Establishment excel and reach their goals. I hope management takes these comments into consideration and seriously, in effort to make effective positive changes to welcome their guests and truly show concern.
Come here every year for a gymnastics meet. Really look forward to staying at the Renaissance Club Sport. The hotel is very bright and modern in styling. It has a full health club right in the same facility which is the easiest to use of any club Ive ever been too. Nice pool as well. Beds are really comfortable. The bar and restaurant are surprisingly good. Always marvel at the $$$ cars waiting at the entrance for valet parking.
The hotel was unique to me because it is attached to a full-service gym that guests have free access to. It was really nice to have access to the full gym, including basketball court and large lap swimming pool. The hotel also felt modern and was well decorated on both the outside and inside. Parking was easy with a large garage nearby.
Room’s not cleaned my spouse and me are seniors and asked for and received accessible room. Being a senior I asked for some one to just make the bed this request was denied I then went to the front desk and they too denied my request
This this the worst hotel I ever stayed at. Michael the manager was so rude and dismissive towarda my concerns. I believe with me being black player apart considering he didnt question anyone else credit card but mines. I asked for corporate number and Eva put me on hold for 38 minutes just to say she dont know the number . Please save your money. Fyi they charge 27 dollars for parking per day which they told me that parking was free
I think what prevented our stay from being exceptional was managements decision to close access to the pools at 7pm on Easter Sunday. While I can appreciate the need to allow hotel employees to enjoy their holiday, you also have guests who paid full price for access to fitness amenities. Also, many hotels dont require staff supervision when it comes to adults using the pools so why not just let us swim until a reasonable hour?
Hotel was just ok. If you are really into working out this is the place for you. Really needs a remodel to the rooms. Lobby is super nice the rooms out badly out of date. Service was not so great. Tried to get my room upgraded when I checked in, which another employee told me that should be no problem, but it was a huge problem. This hotel did not seem as customer centric as the other Marriotts I’ve stayed at.
I would not recommend anyone staying at that hotel. It has horrible service, maintenance and management. Room was never cleaned, AC did NOT work. Disrespectful service. Took them 25 minutes to take our order they kept disregarding us. I regret taking my daughter there for her birthday. I can not believe it’s called Marriott, I have never experience anything like this before. Will definitely consider were to host my clients from now on.
This hotel was top notch! The service couldnt be better! The gym was excellent and the staff was very nice. Our guest room suite was one of the nicest suites I have been in. This hotel was more than I expected. The check in lady was very nice and wanted to make sure she did everything she could to give us a nice stay!
The spa and workers are amazing. They did a fantastic job taking care of us.
I have stayed here about 20+ nights in the past year. Rooms are clean, the restaurant (Citrus) is exceptional and truly under-rated. Atmosphere of the adjunct sports club makes for a very up-beat environment and amenities...happy hour at the bar is always busy with club and business travelers...GREAT HOTEL! Free full breakfast for Marriott Rewards members is a great plus.
We have stayed twice here and will be back. It’s a great value. The location is off the beaten path unless you are trying to go several directions. Would have given 5 stars but, they need new mattresses. Overall great hotel with amazing amenities!
The gym staff are all super nice! Equipment and locker rooms are clean and well maintained (and stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hairspray and deodorant! Very convenient). Parking is free in the structure, though they have valet available as well. The group fitness classes are very encouraging and have great energy and variety (work out/cardio, cycle, yoga, dance). Juliet is my favorite, I like her cardio classes :).
Great spot. Great bartenders and wait staff. Ive been coming here for about 6 years. Michelle at the gyms front desk is fairly new, but she provides excellent customer service. I was very pleased with her help.
This place is beautiful, well worth the price of the stay. Amazing lap pool in the fitness center.👍
Loved this hotel! Such a beautiful property and the service was impeccable! Bathroom had plenty of room to spread out PLUS an extra shelf unit for me to put all my junk and keep things tidy. Now I want to always seek out the Renaissance brands!
Weve been to this place before, and nothing like this has ever happened.. We had to move to a different room every day for 3 days! (We were staying for a week) and they were all odd reasons.The first reason was because all the rooms were booked so we had to sleep in a 1 bed room for the first day (there was 4 of us)The second room, had a broken toilet which smelt like eggs. And when we asked someone to come and fix it, we came back for it to be not fixed, but worse.The third and final room was actually good! Nothing wrong and we got a good view of Laguna.. also they brought cookies.. which was kind.Also, rooms 1 and 2 had views of the vents, which is why i made to two stars.
We had an excellent experience at the Renaissance ClubSport Aliso Viejo Laguna Beach hotel. The location is excellent near highways, shops and dining. The amenities, cleanliness and dining services were wonderful. The gym facilities are amazing. We will definitely recommend to our family and friends and hope to come back soon.
The clubsport aspect of this property is incredibly unique. Instead of a cramped fitness center, this hotel is joined with a massive, and impressive, fitness center that would put most standalone gyms to shame. The pool area is vibrant and aesthetic, and the lounge area is inviting and a great place to watch sports. Fantastic property.
Just spent 8 days at the Renaissance. Visiting my son who lives in Orange county. A wonderful experience and I would definitely stay here again.
I stay 60+ night a year at Marriott and thought during the holiday break my wife could use a quick getaway so I booked the Romance Package. No Chocolate covered strawberries or sparkling cider/champagne ever came and we didnt even get upgraded in an empty hotel. Our room was 54 degrees when we walked in and it took 3 hours to get to 73 degrees. Ya it was a bust for the romance. The gym is great and the people at the restaurant were nice. Just keep it for work or workout on your list.
I always loved staying at the Aliso Viejo Renaissance hotel for the amazing gym and pool facilities, friendly receptionists and breakfast staff, and room amenities. This hotel is really great and convenient for business travelers. It is not too far from Laguna Beach, but I wouldnt necessarily recommend it for a romantic getaway or family trip.
This is a relatively small hotel with a very large community fitness and sports complex. It appears to cater to groups and business travelers (although there is a spa and the pool complex is impressive). Nevertheless, it served us very well as a base for a vacation to Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Newport Beach and environs. There are limited food service options, but the available food situation is very well done. The property and the service hit high marks. We will likely return.
I love staying here for for work. Great bar with a legit selection, especially bourbon. The gym is on point. It has just about every type of equipment, full basketball court and classes. I highly recommend this hotel.
They didnt get the reservation right in terms of the beds. They didnt get the microwave and refrigerator reservation correctly and then when delivered after 1 and 1/2 hours the units were defective and blew circuit breakers. They didnt tell us we could not have our child in the fitness center and would need to have them at the kids club where at 8 a.m. they were putting them outside in the cold. They charged a lot but did not fulfill. Personnel were pleasant but it seems that no one knew what the other person was doing.
My wife, 5 year old son and I enjoyed the outdoor swimming pools and splash park. We were there attending my sons friends birthday party. We considered getting membership for the club, but havent had a chance to look into prices. If the prices are competitive with YMCA, we definitely would switch.
This was the first stay for me at this location. I will be back. The staff is wonderful and the rooms are spacious and clean. The lobby is welcoming and lively with quiet spaces as well to get some work done.
If you think you can find a better Marriott facility, youre just waisting your time. This is where the very best hospitality professionals in the industry work. It also had an incredible health club and dining facility. From a very happy Marriott Platinum Premier Elite member!
I worked with Michael R. and Eva L. to set up the reservation and they were terrific from start to finish. They helped assist me with making the group block, additions, cancellations, edits, follow-ups, etc. They were fantastic.Sabrina checked me in and she was amazing, as always. Thanks to the staff for everything! Everybody always makes it such a stress-free and easy experience from planning the event all the way through check-out.
I travel for business all around the country. This hotel is the best there is! From the amazingly helpful, welcoming staff, stylish clean fresh smelling rooms, great healthy food, top notch gym, beautiful décor, awesome gift shop offering spa services, convenient safe parking area...just a perfect overall experience every single time! I LOVE this Hotel & I cant recommend it enough!
Our suite had a beautiful view of the pool and hut tub below, as well as the city beyond. Room service was very accommodating and the fitness center was huge! I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay overnight near laguna
Highly recommend this gym! The staff is wonderful. The daycare is awesome. I really appreciate Kurt Vestil for making me feel welcomed. The classes and instructors are fantastic as well!
Kids splash pool, babysitting, good food and atmosphere all made this a great place to stay. Next time well get to the Spa and Fitness center which looked amazing. The valet staff was prompt and courteous.
An unexpected additional night because of snow delays in the East, we sought out this hotel because of a very positive experience here last fall. Once again, we liked everything about it, including the reasonable rate, the charming outdoor lounge and firepit area, the superior fitness center, the large, comfortable room and bath, the proximity to the Pacific.WE would recommend this hotel as a planned base to tour the area or, as for us this time, for an unplanned weekend overnight.It also seems to work well for business travelers.
Would give them 6 stars if I could. Aquatics with 3 pools and a splash pad. Full fitness club attached with racquet ball and full sized basketball court. The staff was too notch the not only meet our needs but anticipated them.
I didnt actually stay at the Renaissance. I visited a couple of friends here and enjoyed the hospitality they provided at their outside patio. Atmosphere was excellent with the fire, the waitress was very attentive to our groups needs, and the fish tacos tasted great!
It was a nice hotel, but the in room coffee machine was kind of gross on the inside, so I went out of my way to clean the gunk in it because I wanted coffee. I liked the size of the shower, and the Aveda bath products. I was very happy about the amount of wonderfully soft pillows.
Weve been members here for years. If you have a family with small kids its really worth the price. My husband and I often go for a date night, the kids can play and eat in the kids world while we enjoy a night meal alone. I would love to see them add more seasonal menu options because in the past 5 years the menu has not changed much.

2022-04-26This was a lovely hotel with amazing amenities. The fitness center is free to use if youre staying at the hotel, and its not your standard hotel gym. The fitness center is essentially its own full blown gym, with a great pool to boot. Rooms are clean with a lot of space. The only thing that was off was the cleaning staff kept asking when we were leaving so they can clean the room despite us having late checkout.

2022-03-04Stayed 3 nights here while in town for some meetings. Everyone in the area knows about this hotel because of the gym which is attached to the hotel. The hotel is in a good area with a parking garage next door which is $27 a day.Rooms were a good size with very comfortable beds. However there a few things that could use improvement. First, the bathroom was very dimly lit. Would help if there was a light in the actual shower. Also there was no safe in the room. There may be one in the room but I didnt see one.If youre a gym person, the gym is legit. Has most types of equipment along with nice locker room with steam, sauna, and jacuzzi. They also have a nice lap pool outside.The bar and restaurant are good and there is happy hour starting around 4 which is fun to take advantage of. The food at the restaurant was actually quite good. If Im in the area Ill be back here.

2022-05-11I have no patience with being charged full price and then getting the “no service” speech upon check in! They claim staffing issues…Additionally, I noticed that the two complimentary waters that come with every Marriott property on planet earth were not in my room. I called the front desk and they said I had to come down to get them. Irritating, but fine. But then it was like trying to convince a toddler to share their Tonka truck when I asked for more water since there was no daily service to replenish them. He told me I could come back to the lobby and refill them at the water station.Look… I hate giving bad reviews. Most of mine are positive. However, my recent streak with Marriott brands is making me question my loyalty!Anyway… this is a great gym with a waterless hotel with no service attached… the tacos were pretty good too…

2022-05-21AVOID THE SPA!We looked at this hotel online and saw it had very good start rating. We decided to book specifically to use their spa services. Mind you, their online page says “no reservations needed for these amenity”. I decided to call the spa and they say give us your card number, we will call you back to confirm and reserved your appointment in 15min. 30 min later we never got the called back so we decided to go check it out downstairs. The girl dared to tell us, “oh, we had you down for 1pm and you didn’t show up” we explained we were waiting for the call back confirmation, she then said oh, we called but the number said it was busy. I insisted to make her see how incompetent she was being, did you check our room? Can you confirm the phone number? She was oh oh, yea yea we did that I don’t have the paper were the number was and we couldn’t find you. These people didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience, we had to point out. Their attitude was like “ next time pal, thank you bye”. Very bad vibe. Not the place you want to go and relax.

2022-01-26Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Did not get the chance to eat on-site as there were so many options in the surrounding area that I wanted to try. Hotel stay comes with access to the mega gym which is attached.

2022-05-10Place was clean and obvious of upkeep since they were painting the floors to the front entrance. We didnt like the bar service and they say that they wear masks to protect their clientele, but we did not see one service representative who actually wore a mask. Dont advertise it if youre not going to honor it for your customers.

2021-12-16Positive: The place was very nice. The room was great. However, there were problems. Namely, the location on the map, did not match up wit where the hotel actually was. I stopped at a computer shop to get directions and they didnt take me to the hotel. Negative: I had a very hard time finding the hotel and had to call to get directions. Also I did not know there was an overnight parking fee. The breakfast was very good. I ate too much. However, it was very difficult to get around the area, using the toll roads.
