Every time I’ve stayed here I’ve appreciated the kind staff, cleanliness, and comfort of the rooms. The location is also fantastic: cross-the-street access to good restaurants, close to Newport Beach, and right on the 405 for easy commuting. Big thanks to Ms. Sherri, one of the housekeeping staff, who left sweet notes for our son next to his gently arranged stuffed animals on the bed each morning. It made him feel so special.

Perfect location for us while visiting our daughter. We travel with 2 dogs and property us very dog friendly. Plus the hard surface floors gave me extra confidence in the cleanliness of the room, with no scent for my dogs to pick up. Staff is friendly. Convenient and close parking garage. Reasonably priced.

I picked this hotel because it was close to the airport and had a Tesla charging station in the parking garage. Overall I enjoyed my stayed but the room floor was a bit dirty as if it hadn’t been vaccumed. Other than that it was nice. Great dining options too.

Wonderful stay

Very comfortable, clean, and staff was extraordinarily polite. Def take advantage of the valet-- so worth it. Quiet and peaceful, but very close to the airport and minutes from UC. I hope to be back.

Great Hotel! Will stay again.

Great hotel. Very clean, very nice staff. Weekday bartender was fabulous. Self parking is not directly on site, but in the parking structure across the street. Easy to access. Only complaint is there is no complementary coffee in the lobby. Coffee is provided in the room. Another plus is complementary water bottles as Irvines tap water is awful!
