    The staff were very friendly when checking in and checking out. Always respectful and helpful when needed. The room was decent for the most part but the curtains were shredded to the point that I wondered why they even still had it hanging up. I would say the stay is fine for a couple of nights but not somewhere I would stay for multiple days for vacation. It worked for me because I was attending a church conference nearby and only needed the room at night to sleep.

    Have stayed at this motel off and on for the last 20 years, since moving away from California. The reason that we stay here is the location. It is very close to family. Also, it is probably the least expensive in Irvine. The front desk staff are fabulous. They are all friendly, courteous, professional, respectful, and helpful. The motel has needed to be remodeled for the last 20 years. The building outside has been painted and looks like a brand new building. The lobby is very nice. The carpeting in the hallways is so old and smells bad. The rooms have not been remodeled at all. Lighting in the rooms is poor. Carpet in the rooms is old. Smells bad. Parking in the lot used to be free. Now you pay. Laundry used to be free. Now you pay. Washers and dryers are ancient and smell bad. The gym is nice though. The one positive feature is that it is next door to Hoge Hospital.

    I would double check the availability prior to arriving, my friend drove 3hrs to come spend time with me at this hotel, there were rooms available and when he arrived they said they were sold out even though he had a reservation. It was so disappointing.

    Unfortunately, I didn’t have a great experience. I was assigned Hotel Room 125 & as soon as I opened the door, it was warm and overly stuffy with a strong smell of dirty/old carpet. To my left was a stove in the kitchenette with a rusted large scratch at the bottom that they covered up poorly with white plaster, the electric stove had a ring of dirty residue. In the restroom, there was a lot of dust in the shelves where they had (hopefully clean towels). The mirror had cracks with rust along the bottom & a yellow dirty ring in the tub. Along the white border of the floor was dirt. Carpet was dirty as well. Nightstand was not clean. I immediately called Expedia and spoke to the hotel attendant to return my key as I could not stay there. I kindly asked for a cancellation & refund & I was told no managers were available until 5/26. They are the only ones that can approve the refund. I clarified as it is strange to have no escalation process but she stated no one was available until 5/26. On 5/25 I was told my request was denied. Very dishonest. Poor customer service. Still have not gotten a call from a manager to address my concerns.

    Yes; the furnishing was run down. Bedsheet did not feel clean. The bathroom fixtures were loose and needs to be tighten up. I found it peculiar that the handicap bar is adjacent to the toilet because who would want to use the grab bar and exit out of the tub with wet feet next to the toilet bowl, and if you were to enter the tub from this same location it is difficult and dangerous to enter the tub as the end of the tub is at a slope; it would make more sense for the handicap bar to be adjacent to the shower faucet. Whoever did the caulking work around your bathroom needs to learn to do it properly. The exercise room needs cups for the water dispenser.

    I liked the price because it wasn't too expensive. The location is great for families staying near patients or staff working at the hospital next door (walking distance). The location is close in driving distance to a lot of restaurants, Irvine Spectrum shopping center and grocery stores. I appreciate that they had a kitchen to reheat food in the microwave or use utensils and plates. The staff is also super nice and accommodating for situations that arise or any feedback. It was extremely dated and been through wear and tear. I also had to move rooms because I had an issue with bugs in my room. Avoid room 135 per by trails and was told that's why there's lots of bugs in the room. I kept seeing more bugs in the bed so they moved me to the second floor, which was cleaner and better but at that point, I still felt paranoid that bugs would be on me despite not seeing them in the second floor room. Also, the kitchens, the table sides were covered in stains in both rooms. I kept cleaning because I just didn't trust cleanliness. I couldn't think about comfort of the bed because I was too worried about bugs.

    It had some pretty major issues with my stay . The night we arrived the A/C was broken and only blew warm air while rattling. I told the front desk and asked if I could have another room and they said nothing was available. Nite one it was hot and noisy I didn’t get much sleep. In the morning I go to brush my teeth and there is a pincher bug in the sink. I figure let me wash it away before my girlfriend sees to not upset her . I figure I better at least get another room so I’m able to sleep the second nite. I went to the front desk asked what they could do they said let me send the engineer. I return that evening to a new A/C and cold air being blown but the A/C is set to 61 and it’s very cold so then I set it to 68 and it shuts off. I go to bed assuming maybe it will cool again latter to maintain 68. I wake up covered in sweat at 3:30am and decide to talk to the manager at the front desk. I’m basically told nothing can be done it should be working. Then I try 67,66,65 and nothing it doesn’t work. Once again I go speak to the manager and she basically says it should work its new and I go back to figure it out . After a few minutes I realize this new A/C only works at 61 and you either freeze or get no cooling in the room. I tell her what’s happening and she gives me a blanket an tells me that should keep you from freezing. At this long its 4am and I have work the next day I’m going to bed . The following day my girlfriend tells me about the pincher bug crawling on the wall

    The room was not clean, the fixtures are degraded, and not in the best condition. The staff was terrible and abusive charged me a deposit twice although it was me staying 3 consecutive nights. Mind you the deposit is $200 that was on a debit card. These places really think someone is going to stay in them for close to $1000 for 3 nights they won’t be doing very well soon. It’s already been 2 weeks since I stayed in the hotel they have not returned my second deposit. Terrible terrible.

    Front desk manager did not honor my request to extend my stay and in fact said that they had cancelled my reservation and would not allow me to stay at the hotel - but billed me anyway- due to a customer complain that I had spoken firmly to her and falsely accused her. What actually happened was that my teenage daughter was groped several times by the same woman in the hallway near the lobby while I was waiting to talk to the front desk rep and while I was talking to the front desk rep and my daughter was standing behind me. My daughter became very distressed and frightened and I turned to the woman and told her clearly and firmly to stop touching my daughter. The woman apparently complained to the manager stating that the incidents did not happen and that she was upset at being falsely accused. I was then denied the ability to extend my booking. I checked out but made a new reservation and returned at 4 but was again denied check-in due to “a message related from the manager to the front desk person that I was being denied service. I do not lie or exaggerate incidents and I was also terribly upset, myself, at what had happened to a young teen girl by a woman who had continued to be in close proximity to us whenever we were in public areas in the hotel. I did not yell nor swear. I just firmly told the woman to stop grabbing my daughter while we were all in the hallway near the lobby ( very small area) as I was waiting to talk w the front desk rep about extending my reservation. I did not and do not feel that I was treated cordially or with respect, but, instead blamed and falsely accused of lying and insulting another guest. It should be noted that there was no high drama. No one else was aware of the incident. I did not raise my bounce nor cause a scene in any way.

    However, after entering the room, I undressed and turned on the shower, only to find that there was no water at all. This occurred despite the staff’s clear assurance that water would be available for at least two more hours. This was not only an inconvenience regarding showering, but a serious issue, as it also meant I could not use the toilet. Under these circumstances, I believe this hotel should not be listed on Expedia at all. At the very least, this critical information should have been clearly disclosed online before payment. There was no notice or warning regarding a complete water shutdown, which I consider a serious misrepresentation of the accommodation. When I raised this issue, none of the staff took responsibility and I was told to speak with the manager. The manager had already left early. I was told I would receive a call the next day, but no one contacted me. When I called myself, my call was disconnected twice. Eventually, I was told “sorry” and offered a compensation of only $17, which is completely unacceptable given the situation. I expect a proper explanation, accountability, and appropriate compensation. This experience fell far below any reaso

    Room felt neglected, noises of plumbing pipes all night, fridge whirring all night, and some electronic buzzing of doors every hour or so. It was like noise torture and hearing flip flops of people outside the room door at all hours of the dark morning.. zero sleep possible.

    The property is situated in the middle of Irvine right next to the hospital room was clean and organized. The 4 PM checkout is ridiculously late and then to be informed that there was no water available between 11 and three until we arrived at the hotel upon leaving, I realized I hadn’t left behind a cooler with medicine. Staff was very unhelpful in my family room retrieving my medicine.

    My room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Also my room featured a mini-kitchen with full size refrigerator, stove top, microwave, sink, and accessories (I only used the microwave). Super quiet, convenient to the Hoag Hospital. Oddly they charge for parking even though there is a huge lot that was less than half full. Overall a really nice experience at a reasonable price!

    The only problem was with one of the managers that was extremely rude on the phone, questioning my Service Dog as to why he was barking a few times thinking that this is a pet friendly hotel and my dog is a service animal so what if he barked once or twice maybe he was trying to tell me something And make me aware of my condition. I don’t know, but I make sure I will find out who she is.

    We have stayed at this property before and had a better experience. This time was sufficient for our need of a single overnight stay with a late check-in (after 9pm) and early check-out (by 6am), but it was not a good experience. We were told we couldn't earn loyalty points at check-in because we booked through Expedia and therefore, the hotel wasn't getting paid (only Expedia was); this has never been the case before. There was no towel bar in the bathroom, just two sharp brackets that were an injury hazard. The TV did not work and the remote for the TV had dead batteries. The refrigerator had a stale and musty smell. It felt like we were put in a room that was halfway prepped.

    We spent 2 nights while my wife underwent medical treatment. This is not a fancy hotel, but an economy hotel that is a great value, especially in an expensive area like Irvine. The.facility.is modern, clean, and serviceable but basic. The room was large, clean and comfortable. I found the bed to be comfortable and slept well. The.kithen is well outfitted and has a full sized fridge. The staff was.friendly and responsive. Everything worked and.looked as advertised. If.you are on a budget, this is an excellent choice.

    When we went to make breakfast the next morning there were only 2 utensils for the 4 of us. When we needed a towel or anything else we had to track down a maid who was cleaning other rooms all 4 days/nights that we stayed there! The day after returning home there was an additional $56 charge to my bank so I called Sonesta to find out what it was for and they said they charge to park in their parking lot! Never again!!!

    When we got to our room it was dirty. We noticed outback Steakhouse food bags in the kitchen, pimple patches in the restroom, urine on and under the toilet seat and the shower curtain was taped up with silver tape. So we knew the room wasnt cleaned properly before pur arrival. The entire 7 days we stayed we heard nothing but loud foot steps above our room day amd night. It sounded like dogs or multiple people running around. The staff was helpful when we needed towels.

    Location is clean and quiet. Room was small, layout is cramped. Small bed. They said it was a queen, it wasn’t. And that’s the only bed size they offer in all there rooms. The AC was very loud and inefficient. Couldn’t get the room to a comfortable stable temperature, and the AC would blast very loudly on and off. So loud that you couldn’t listen to the TV. Also, TV - Hotel only provide non-subscription viewing. No HBO, etc…. I won’t stay there again.

    The bed making services work on a 7 day rota, so my stay fell outside their usual cycle sadly, but was able make do with help and also get additional things. Generally the room was clean, but can see places in corners of room where things were missed. The breakfast area is basic, partnered next to the gym. In my option they could have a smaller gym and focus on making a breakfast area/ service for people to get more business. At the moment you’re better off finding something local to eat at. Plenty of places near by for that, but when you need to get started early for work, it would be nice to have it available at hotel.

    My first room smelled very strongly of dog and parts were literally falling apart. For example the kitchen drawer was broken and hanging at a crazy angle. The tile was cracked and floor so degraded it was hard to clean. However I was put in a better room which only had a rusty light and some wear. - rather than being outright broken. The towels were fluffy and felt new. The bed was very comfortable and bedding was soft. It was quiet after everyone had settled down at midnight and I had a great night sleep. The gym looked nice.

    While the staff were friendly, the property itself left much to be desired. The overwhelming smell of chemical cleaners was off-putting, and despite this, the room was not particularly clean. Dust covered the surfaces, and the furniture was quite worn out. Overall, it was not a comfortable stay. The room was noisy, with sounds coming from the refrigerator, piping, toilets, and an air conditioner that barely worked.
