Main entrance to hotel was closed so entry was through the side door and reception was in a small room. Staff were very friendly and helpful it was just a little odd. Room was nice and comfortable. Hotel in a good location close to the toll road with a couple of restaurants close by and several more within an easy drive. Pool looked nice and inviting, laundry room was useful. Would stay here again.

My husband and I spent two nights here in December, 2011. Hotel lobby was under construction but they accommodated around it well.

Room was well appointed with our king sized bed, a couch, coffee table and normal desk/refrigerator/dresser/tv stand and very large flat screen TV.

Bed very comfortable, bathroom good size and no negatives!

Wonderful staff, gave me a military discount, room was clean, comfortable, nearly silent, bed was soft, bathroom was large and well stocked.
Best hotel experience we've had to date.
Value for accomidation was excellent.
We stayed on a Friday night in Nov.2011, high end of the hotel prices but very worth every cent.
Great parking, secure location, and easy access to all of Irvine.
I highly recommend this place to everyone who wants a great nights sleep and to feel like a King. I'm not rich by any means, but they sure did make us feel like we were. Incredible hotel.

I stayed here 1 night after a client meeting. True to the new Courtyard concept, the hotel was well equipped for the business traveller: free we-fi, spacious desk/working area in the room, spacious lounge/lobby area to meet/greet, computers in the lobby/lounge area to look up last minute stuff, breakfast area serving buffet or a la carte, and (very important) no fuss check in/check out. The room was spacious, nicely furnished, and clean. Doesn't have the brand new feel of some of the newer Courtyards, but not tired or worn either. My 2 complaints: TV was inconveniently located parallel to the bed, and nary a tea bag in sight although ample Barista coffee provided.
Breakfast buffet included hot and cold items. The breakfast wait staff was very helpful even though I declined the more expensive buffet, and hustled my order (toasted bagel) when they saw that I was in a hurry.
Location was right across the street from my client, ~15 minutes from SNA.
Good value for the price (granted, it is Orange County price).
