Hotels in Irvine, CA

“Very nice hotel. Large area for get-togethers. No hassles about late night gatherings. We had a large family. Just sit around play cards and drink and it was great. Kind and courteous staff”

“As a Mariott Titanium - I don't say this lightly. This is one of the best Mariott properties in the country. The service is top notch. Every single staff member is warm, kind, fun and easy going. From the cleaning staff, to the front desk - I felt like I was living among friends for my week there.

Don't be fooled by the "age of the property". The hotel is in excellent condition. Every room smells lovely. Every component of the hotel works as if it is brand new. The pool and hot tub are perfect. The care this hotel has had during its lifespan is notable in its own category.

The food at the bar is excellent. Tons of options. All delicious - great value

The hotel gym is well above average. Weights, treadmill, yoga - you can do it all

Let's talk about location - 15-20 mins to world class surf breaks. 15-20 mins to excellent beaches. Feel like going for a walk- tons of shops and restaurants in walking distance.

Some hotels recently have cut corners on cost - cheaping out on pillows, towels, blankets, air conditioning. This property has actually doubled down in the opposite direction- extremely comfortable bedding.

I've stayed at JW Mariotts, Ritz Carltons plenty of times. I would option to stay at this property over others simply because of how exceptional it was.

Congrats Courtyard Mariott Irvine Spectrum. From a very well seasoned traveler - you have one of the best properties in the country.”

“This Hotel might not be 5 star but you will be greeted with a warm smile from all the staff you’ll encounter.
The young ladies at the front desks are friendly, helpful and they go the extra mile.
I was picked up from the airport by the hotel shuttle front desk attendant.
It seems everybody is happy to work there.
The hotel is conveniently located about 8 minutes from the airport.
The rooms are clean,provided with microwave and fridge.
The hotel provides buffet style breakfast from 6:00 am to 9:30 am . I appreciate that provide eggs, potatoes, baked goods and good qualities teas.
There are no convenient stores walking distance.
I was trying to buy some fruits in the evening, the front desk young man told me that supermarkets are a few miles away and I wasn’t going to Uber to get my fruit fix. The young man went to the back and brought me a few fruits.
I congratulate the Human Resources and the managers that trained your staff to be helpful with a great attitude and noticeably happy to work there.
The only suggestion I have for the hotel is if they can provide one or two usb outlets in the room.
Thank you to all the staff for making my stay great!
I value your warm smiles and welcoming attitude.”

“Went to the Hive & Honey rooftop bar. The views were nice. If you’re not sitting behind the Marriott sign. Service was ok. I had to chase down our waitress to get more drinks. Other than that it was a nice experience.

Nearby activities: Hive & Honey rooftop bar.”

“This is a utility hotel and not a luxury hotel, as long as you judge it as such, you will not be displeased.

I arrived a bit early for check in and was advised that I could wait for my room with a "view" or check in immediately to a different room. I was not in a hurry so I agreed to wait. As a result, the front desk clerk (whose name i do not remember but was VERY cheery) was able to immediately upgrade me from a studio to a 1 bedroom. I appreciated the upgrade and the effort.

I had requested late checkout (2pm) at check in but on checkout day, they knocked on my door at noon to ask about check out. I simply advised them that I was checking out late and they did not question it at all. When I checked out at the desk they indicated that my late checkout was not in the system but did not cause an issue.

Overall, I stayed for 6 nights without incident and the product/service were in line with the price point so no major complaints. The lobby, dining area, pool and outdoor space are kept very nice and clean. The rooms however could definitely use some update/upgrading. The hallways were dingy, yellow and did have an unpleasant smell, likely from the large amount of pet owners staying there.

Rooms: In need of updating.

Safety: Never felt unsafe”

“Nice location. Good rooms. Ask for housekeeping even though they are supposed to do light housekeeping everyday. Nice breakfast.Costco, Walmart, Target, CPK, Taco Bell nearby. 10 minutes from the airport.”

I literally saw this beautiful painting and don’t get me started with this beautiful room really love America like Hilton is the best and this hotel ? and the view is amazing. I could even see the freeway I really wanna give it six stars, but I only goes up to five but this hotel is amazing. I love this. This is gonna be the best time of one of my memories I’m having so much fun right now Hilton is the because”

“My husband and I stayed unexpectdly at the Sonesta Irvine Spectrum location for many months. We experienced several new staff and everyday business. Our experience was excellent. The Manager is extremely professional, respectful and does the best she can to help every guest. The rooms are clean, the property is in a perfect location - near hospitals and serene walking paths and the team is absolutely amazing! Brenda and Karen, Ester, Allen, Andrea, Edwin were the best. We truly appreciated our stay and will definitely visit when we are back in California.Rooms: Clean, comfortable and quiet.Nearby activities: There is a fabulous walking path behind the property extending for miles.Safety: Extremely safe!!!!Walkability: Depending on where you going. Access is about 10-15 mins. away.”

“This review is specific to Caroline who leads sales for this Marriott. We hosted a business meeting at this location and unfortunately did not have the right tech equipment. Carloline able to secure projector, screen and audio equipment in last minute notice for this important business meeting. I really appreciated how she was able to understand our needs and deliver! Great on the fly problem-solving. Thanks again!”

“Rooms: Nice and clean

Walkability: Perfect spot in the middle of everything

Food and drinks: awesome omelette station and big variety of food veggies fruit”

“So I travel for work. This is possibly the only hotel I've stayed at where I actually get really good sleep.
For the price, this place is really good.
Would definitely suggest to friends and family.

Food and drinks: Burger joint n Dennys dinner right next door, along with jack in the box right across the street. All within 3 to 5 minutes walking.

Noteworthy details: The front desk staff, every time I come to this hotel, are some of the best customer service representatives I've had encountered.”

“I stayed two nights for a nearby chess tournament and had a great experience. Omar and Silvia at the front desk were great and the hotel was pretty, quiet, and peaceful. Looking forward to my next stay.”
