What guests think

Multiple reviews mention loud air-conditioning or bathroom fans and occasional high-pitched noises, with some noting thin walls or early-morning delivery-truck noise from the nearby shopping center. Rooms favor a simple design; some guests found them small or sparsely furnished, while many reported comfortable beds. The on-site bar earns compliments, while breakfast is described as limited and paid; numerous restaurants are close by. Expect a clean, convenient stay with warm service, but plan for parking costs and potential noise.

Good hotel and clean. The issue is parking. They have none. Valet is $60 a night and parking at a garage a block away is $25. For that reason alone I will not go there with a car again.

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.

Parking is about 100 yards (possibly lol) from the hotel. The reviews I read on here made it seem like it was super far. It’s more like 5 min and there’s sidewalks. Unless you have a physical disability it is not bad at all. We absolutely loved that this was pet friendly. There were A LOT of other pups there!! It’s within a 5 min drive of a few restaurants, LA Fitness, and also a grocery store I believe. The only thing I thought was odd is that to use the lights and AC you have to keep a room card in this slot at the front of the room. I’m guessing it’s to save energy, but we just kept one in there even when we left, because we like it COLD! I’m sure the front desk would give you an extra key. The area seemed pretty safe and new. There’s even a well-lit walking path across the street that leads to bball courts, pickleball courts, ping pong, etc. They may be for the condos nearby or the building right by it, but it’s open to the public. Overall, would def recommend this hotel!

This is a nice property very clean. Great location. Lots of restaurants right across the street. The only downside to this property is parking which at this time is $28 per night or $40 for valet.

Your front desk clerk, Hayden, was so polite and friendly and welcoming. What a lovely way to be greeted when I arrived. The parking attendant, also very friendly and helpful. I will say that the air conditioner in my room was very loud when it cycled off and on so that wasn’t great during the night. Other than that it was a great short stay.

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.

Booked a balcony room but when I got there I found out I was scammed. Spoke to the manager Dominick and his best solution was “I can cancel your reservation if you’d like.” Ohh really, cancel an order different from what I placed? What a favor! Solid customer service. I only stayed because I didn’t have a choice in that moment. Make sure to verify everything they claim, they will lie through their teeth if you give them the opportunity. Go here if you’re into this kind of service.

I've stayed here 4 times and it has never disappointed. Great area - lots of dining options across the street and 2 minutes from SNA. One thing to note is that there is a very busy shopping center across the street - which is great for convenience but it also means early morning noise from delivery/garbage trucks etc.

The breakfast offered is what they call a “Buffet.” This is a joke! They charge $22 per adult for this so called buffet. Which consists of deli meats, cereal, some fruit etc. Definitely not what I consider a Buffet. LOL. A lot lesser hotels include this for no charge to guests. The hotel and room was clean. The room is what I describe as “Modern Generic.” We will not stay again.
