"I stayed in a king suite for 5 nights. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, I loved having a fridge, microwave and kitchen sink. I think my stay was well priced for all the amenities (also a pool and breakfast but I didn’t get a chance to enjoy those due to my schedule). The hotel is a great Orange County location - I spent a lot of time at Newport Beach and hopping on the 55 was very easy. I do wish the balcony was cleaner (I recognize that can be difficult w Santa Ana winds) but it would’ve been really nice if it was swept. The parking was a little confusing at first and it took a minute for me to figure out I can exit through rear gates and go directly to the lot, I think some instruction on that could be helpful and save energy/time. The staff was very kind, I felt comfortable in all aspects and - definitely would stay here again."

"They should tell you if someone is going to clean the room, we didn´t know they were going into our room"

"Super friendly staff. Excellent service."

"Customer service is very poor and rude"

"There were no pets allowed at this hotel. The person at the front desk was very nice. However, the hotel room was tiny and outdated. Bed was comfortable, but there was a lot of traffic noise outside and we could hear the neighboring rooms televisions. Someone was trying to bash in a door or something at 2am one of the evenings?! Breakfast was meh, bagels were good. There was no ice available at the breakfast station for some reason. The rooms could have felt fresher. However, the price and location was right for the purpose of our stay. "

"Great place to stay! Clean and provided everything we needed!"
