Hotel Irvine

The location is right by two freeways - noisy but rather spectacular. The pool area is lovely. The in-hotel store is expensive but very handy. The atmosphere is rather nice. Internet is free, which is not always the case in the US.

The building is rather tired and dated. There was a bad smell in the lobby, which I recognised as dirty water used to mop the floor. The room was good, but the shower below par. Still decent value, though, and I enjoyed my time there.

The location was wonderful and the staff was very efficient and helpful. The parking facility was conveniently located and there were staff members present most of the time to assist with entry and exit problems. The 24 hour marketplace and on-site cafe were convenient and had lots of good food options. Meeting facilities and lobby were clean and up to date.

The room was decent but the bathroom facilities were very worn and dated. The shower-head sent out a very hard painful stream of water and lacked any adjustment features. There were no bathrobes. The closet and bathroom were very small and crowded. The pocket door on the bathroom was hard to operate and I jammed my finger on the frame because of it. The parking facility machines did not work correctly in the early am and no helpers were on hand. It took a while to figure out how to call for assistance. And the charge for parking was very high - $30/night. Public restrooms had broken locks on some stalls.

Bed was comfy. Front desk staff very nice. Validated my parking for 2 days of parking. That was a nice treat

The hotel restaurant food choices just so, so
