Stuff are nice and helpful. Free parking is awesome. Convenient access to a freeway. The wifi connection is not good. Due to internet problems or something related, we were not able to watch TV. But watching TV was not our main reason to stay, so it did not affect us emotionally at all.

I’m guessing that this hotel used to be really nice, but it has gone downhill. Nobody serviced our rooms in the six days. We were there until the final day when we asked to please service our rooms I had to empty the trash in my room every other day because it was not empty, and then the trash cans outside near the elevators where I had emptied my trash remained full of the trash, I had emptied the days before, and then the ice machines were not easily accessible because there would be a sign for the area where the ice machine was supposed to be, and I would go there, and the room would be Empty With no ice machine, but I do have to say the beds were extremely comfortable as where the pillows and also maybe increase the water pressure because it was just like a drizzle

Do not stay at this hotel if you have a car, it is impossible to find a place to park hotel staff had cars parked along the fire lanes, which is completely unsafe. There was absolutely no way you could get a fire engine to put out any fires as a older woman traveling at night not finding a place to park was frightening no street parking available as well

Nice place with friendly staff. Shuttle available to SNA free upon request. No restaurants and/or shops nearby (walking distance) the hotel. A very small Kiosk open until 11pm. After 11pm, the staff told us to go to the next hotel where their small shop stayed open late. Room was clean and cosy. Outdoor pool and gym are open until 10pm I believe. A simple daily breakfasts: pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausages and hushed potatoes. And three kinds of cereals. Coffee, tea and soft drinks. It seemed like the place changed the name recently so make sure you tell the shared driver and confirm.
