Sonesta Select Laguna Hills Irvine Spectrum

10/10 Excellent

"Love this place"

Crowne Plaza Costa Mesa Orange County by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The young man at the front desk was so helpful and incredibly nice. He answered my questions and was also funny. I can see why he was at the front desk. Also our room was big and we had a nice bathroom. The whole room was very clean. We had breakfast in the morning. The staff were excellent. They took care of all of our needs with a smile and very kind. The breakfast was good as well."

14 West Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location. North building has an upscale feel with the decor/layout, although maintenance has slipped a little since the last time I stayed there. Wifi did not work and floors needed to be cleaned a little better. Rooms are beginning to ahow a little wear and tear. Amenities could also be better for the price point. Asked for something at check-in that most hotels would have, but they did not--referred me to the grocery store across the street. Also the shower amenities (shampoo, conditioner, wash gel) was non-descript--again, didn't quite fit the upscale motif. Self-parking was easy (with the exception of the $39 daily fee). Would absolutely recommend though, and would stay there again."

Laguna Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is nothing short of a miracle in disguised. All from the obvious to the little details, this place was helpful to the max! Being right between Newport and Laguna, all the way to efficient parking, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The room was not only gorgeous, but safe as it is also useful with a mini fridge. I will 100% stay here again!"

Hilton Irvine/Orange County Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay! The hotel was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. Our room was well maintained, and everything exceeded our expectations. The location was also very convenient and made our trip even more enjoyable. We truly enjoyed our experience and felt very well taken care of. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
