Lemon Heights Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I did appreciated how clean was not just my room , but also the outside !!! Quiet , bare basic amenities , which I believe is a plus !! Otherwise , the property would be trashed all the time . Also , as they say " location, location, location .!!! Plenty of surveilance . Safe and no late nights parties , alcohol etc. Good parking , room air conditioning working as it should !! Housekeeping daily ! Does not happen nowadays . Very satisfied .Be back again . Thanks to the manager and his team !! Martin H. , Las Vegas NV."

Sonesta Select Laguna Hills Irvine Spectrum

8/10 Good

"Did not have any breakfast because of their schedule time. Staff in the front office are not attentive; they go through the motions, but your request is not entered. Waste paper baskets in the room need to be emptied. It's one thing if guests put the "do not service.""

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach

6/10 Okay

"The check in time is at 4 which is too late...called in to try to get an earlier check in...even an hour and the guy said "There are several people waiting in the lobby, you can come in and sit and wait". I told this to the checkin person when we did check in and he comped out self parking...which is $40 per day...and they have a LOT of parking....they have it gated off so you HAVE to pay. The grounds looked nice but stunk like barf/baby crap as they'd just put in new mulch....really you used mulch that stinks that bad at a hotel resort? One of the maintenance guys said that was what the smell was from. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable...they have louvered bathroom doors so if you're loud on the john, everyone will hear....there is no separate toilet door so not a good date spot unless you're into that. It's also right by an outdoor concert venue so if you want any rest before that shuts down you'd better be able to sleep with a lot of noise."
