Nice hotel and room. Small annoyances… The motion detector light switch in the bathroom was set too short, so the lights always turned off mid-shower. Then there was an LED light, probably from a smoke detector, that kept blinking in the room, and it was bright enough to wake me up. And be prepared to pay for parking, though that seems the norm in Irvine. Again, small things at a pretty nice hotel.

Great location and nice decor/spaces

I liked the interior design, the different spaces available for working or just reading or relax. Gym with all the basic needed for a session. Good pool for swimming. Great location with good options for eating around. Missing: water available in the room, shower cap in the bathroom. A more complete market.

High Quality Hotel

Air conditioning and temperature control of the room was excellent. Clean and well maintained property. Staff was perfectly pleasant. Would certainly consider another stay at this hotel. Down side is paid parking if driving and no breakfast or morning snack option without going to the attached restaurant.

This property has historically been one of my go-to stays for business travel due to its location and past service. Unfortunately, my most recent experience fell short of expectations. During my stay, the guests in the room next to mine played excessively loud music throughout the day and into the late evening. The noise was so disruptive it could be heard down the hallway. While the evening staff made an effort to address it, during the day I was told the volume did not violate the hotel’s standard noise policy—and was advised to leave my room to find a quieter space to work. As a business traveler paying over $400 per night, I expected to be able to work comfortably and productively from my room. This response felt dismissive and inconvenient. Some members of the staff seemed unwilling to consider reasonable flexibility, defaulting strictly to policy even when the disruption was clearly beyond normal limits. I hope the hotel reconsiders how it handles daytime noise complaints, particularly for business travelers. I will likely explore other accommodations closer to the SNA airport for future trips.

Stay was pretty good overall. Nice room. Clean. Thinner walls so can hear some things from surrounding rooms. Shuttle service was not as easy as they like to make it out but still nice to have. No ironing board just a steamer and steamer was not that great

Happy with my stay

I love how hospitable the front desk is. The housekeepers kept the room so clean and I appreciate how they still clean the room after I left the room so much later in the day for dinner. Thank you for accommodating us. Love that the hotel shuttle is available. I wish there were free breakfast for my parents who also came in from out of town. Parking is not free so be aware of that. Thank you so much. I had a pleasant stay. :)
