La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Irvine Spectrum

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was really good, we were too busy to go to breakfast. And the hot tub wasnt hot but otherwise it was a good experience."

Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa

8/10 Good

"This was conveniently located for my needs. I used the airport shuttle, which was a big help and I felt I was getting good value. The property was clean and the room was quiet. The bed was comfortable. I had a basic room and it was quite large. The property does need some updating-- the carpet is worn in the hallways and in the room. My room and the hallways seemed a bit shabby and dated."

Sonesta Irvine John Wayne Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and comfortable. I very much appreciated receiving a discounted parking rate during my stay. On Saturday morning, the Haven Point restaurant was severely short staffed resulting in a long wait time (approximately ten people were in line) to be seated; this was during peak breakfast hours. There was only one waitress serving the bar and one assistant serving the dining area. Also, it would great if there were more breakfast options for the bed and breakfast ticket. By the way, the pancakes are extremely rubbery. An easy solution would be to not overmix the batter and make sure to use fresh baking powder."
