Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, staff was great and helpful, and did not take advantage of the breakfast. The toilet, tub, and sink near the restroom clogged a couple of times."

Sonesta Irvine John Wayne Airport

8/10 Good

"First off, great service. Front desk was very nice and helpful. The hotel smelled great and our rooms were quite nice and comfortable. The pool was also pretty okay. I did not go to the bar or breakfast so I can't necessarily comment on that. The only downsides were that plastic cups weren't replaced on a daily basis and the air conditioning for the second room was not maintained prior to my stay. The engineer that helped us opened up the ac filter, only to find that it was frozen over. However, customer service regarding that was very kind and understanding. I definitely enjoyed my stay there and would probably come back in the future."

Laguna Hills Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very good stay.The location in Laguna Hills is great and very convenient for exploring Orange County.The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing, although it’s worth noting that there is a fire station nearby, so you may occasionally hear sirens."

Sonesta Select Laguna Hills Irvine Spectrum

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, and bed was very comfortable. The hallway carpets desperately need replaced. STRONG manufactured scent in lobby and hallways so if you are sensitive to fragrance I’d suggest against this hotel. Pool was very nice - warm and clean. Some staff is great, some is cold and uninviting. Constantly had to ask for fresh / new towels for both the room and pool. $10 a night for parking. Overall okay stay."
