Top Irvine Hotel Reviews

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."

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."

Atrium Hotel at Orange County Airport

8/10 Good

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

Sonesta Simply Suites Irvine Spectrum

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, room was really nice. Lots of room and the kitchen was very nice. Would have been nice to have a place to park while checking in but that’s about the only minor complaint I had. Very quiet."

Irvine Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"The pool was amazing and so was fire rocks loved the tv outside by the pool"
