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.

Less than Ideal

Toilet latch didn’t work. Floor had trashes in plain sight when we walked in the first time. Outdated mini hair dryer mounted on the wall. Poor sound insulation: cars outside & sounds from next room. Powered skateboard person roaming around the parking lot for fun. Shower head is non adjustable. *Positive points: Front desk personnel was friendly. Pretty close to the airport and UCI
