Your front desk clerk, Hayden, was so polite and friendly and welcoming. What a lovely way to be greeted when I arrived. The parking attendant, also very friendly and helpful. I will say that the air conditioner in my room was very loud when it cycled off and on so that wasn’t great during the night. Other than that it was a great short stay.

Every time I’ve stayed here I’ve appreciated the kind staff, cleanliness, and comfort of the rooms. The location is also fantastic: cross-the-street access to good restaurants, close to Newport Beach, and right on the 405 for easy commuting. Big thanks to Ms. Sherri, one of the housekeeping staff, who left sweet notes for our son next to his gently arranged stuffed animals on the bed each morning. It made him feel so special.
