The hotel is under construction and it was not disclosed prior to arrival. The evening staff manager was unfriendly. The security was excellent though. There is a Taco Bell and a McDonald’s very close you can walk. Disappointing stay.

Quiet room despite loud event! Amazing!

This is our place when we come to Orange County and I have reviewed before with joy. But let me tell you what we discovered this time. There was a huge wedding at the hotel when we were there. A dinner in the courtyard with LOUD music and lots of guests. Imagine my dismay when our room turned out to be RIGHT THERE. I mean, 15 feet away. BUT……omg, when we entered our room and closed the door……..quiet. Blissful, peaceful quiet. The party, I hear, went on into wee hours. But we heard nothing. And had a lovely , lovely night’s sleep.

The guest room was dated and dingy and smelled like "grandma's bathroom" according to my kids. I wouldn't bother with getting a room with a patio. It's enclosed with no view whatsoever. It's a traditional hotel if that is what you're looking for. Location was ok in an okay area. Right near airport so you can hear airplanes taking off at times. Value is okay. There is a daily parking fee and no breakfast included. There is a restaurant which was also okay as well. Service overall was satisfactory to good.
