Top University of California Hotel Reviews

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."

Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great restaurant, large room, fantastic staff and location"

Newport Beach Marriott Bayview

8/10 Good

"Location is very good. The hotel is a bit outdated and may need some renovations soon. Breakfast was really good and the waiters were very kind and friendly. Parking is about $40. We will probably stay here again only because the location is great!"

Atrium Hotel at Orange County Airport

"Had trouble using voucher but another staff helped next day"
