We were in town to pick up our daughter from her 1st year end of college at UCI. We arrived (great location), checked in. Greeted by valet staff, check in staff. All encounters were pleasant, warm and welcoming. Excellent! Room was clean, and inviting with a great view of the mall across the street. Perfect score for AC Hotel! Check out was also just as perfectly done. We have decided that this will be our ONLY accommodations when in Irvine! Thank you, The Mar Family
