The property is old and rundown, there was so much noise throughout the night. The room is stuffy with no ventilation, the water pipes ran brown to begin with, the blinds don't shut all the way. The custodial cart kept going back and forth by our room ALL throughout the night. Got MAYBE 4 hrs of sleep. Waste of money.

I always stay here at Ayres when I visit the area! I was surprised this time that parking was no longer free, but I believe the amount of $24.50 a day is a bit excessive!! Also as renovations are taking place on the exterior, I hope they replace the carpeting in the rooms soon!! As always though the stay was peaceful!!!

For the price of the room this hotel offers a good value. The rooms are fairly updated and clean. The hotel staff is great. They have two heated pools and two jacuzzis. They also have a restaurant with room service which is unusual for this type of hotel. The area around the hotel is not that great but the location is convenient to the beach, or Irvine, or South Coast Plaza. The only downside is that the hotel is close to the take-off pattern at John Wayne airport, so you do hear planes taking off in the morning. But for the price this is a very good hotel.

I have no idea how this property has good reviews. It actually confuses me. Had to pay an additional $50 for our two vehicles to park, room was equivalent to a lower budget motel/hotel, no breakfast you need to pay for that at the attached restaurant, night staff on 1/30 was OKAY but morning staff ladies on 1/41 were rude. Never staying here again

This is a beautiful hotel. It's always clean, and the customer service is great. My only complaint is that a $72 parking fee on top of the room charge for 3 nights is excessive.
