“Average place - above average staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Loyal to Marriott properties I chose the Residence Inn La Mirada on a recent business trip in the area. First, it's set up like an apartment complex. The room has a kitchenette, small desk, sofa, lounge chair, fireplace, bed, bathroom sink area (between the bedroom and bathrooom), and a bathroom. The room does have a safe (always a nice touch). My first impression when I walked in wasn't great; but it wasn't bad. After a few days, I got used to the room. The work desk is small & it's right on the other side of the door when you walk in. I rearranged some of the furniture so that I could move the desk (table) to a position that made working more comfortable. They have a decent breakfast each day, and most nights they also offer a dinner. One of the nights I was there they had hot dogs, chicken, salads, along with numerous beverages. One big highlight was Jaqueline who drives the shuttle van. I shared with her some sad news my family was enduring, and later that evening she dropped of a basket with snacks, water, candy, along with a hand written note expressing their well-wishes for better times. What can you say about that? It was a class act & so very much appreciated that even if the property is average, I will stay here again for sure. When I use the word average ... it's not a slap at the property. The property is older, but it didn't make it bad, and it didn't make it great. It was average which was totally acceptable for a business trip.

Other notes ... In-n-Out Burger right next door. There is a Red Robin Restaurant and an Elephant Bar Restaurant right down the street. They have a shuttle van that can take you to the convenience store if you ask (which I did).

I paid $125 per night on a AAA rate. There is a Fairfield Inn a few miles away that is under $100 per night, but I can not tell you if it is any better than the Residence Inn. I can tell you that Fairfield Inns are just rooms, and Residence Inns are set up like a studio apartment.

Safe travels everyone!

Room Tip: I always ask for the higher floor (top floor) because I'm a light sleeper. Be careful how clo...

“Convenient, friendly Marriott Style”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I picked this property for its location to my business meetings and it worked great. Suites are large, clean and comfortable, first night includes a presto log for the fireplace! Theme evenings of free food, mine was pizza, wings, salad, veggies, brownies, beer, wine, nice bonus. Breakfast just so so but I am picky - included in rate. Staff friendly and eager to help. Several good restaraunts less than a mile away. I recommend this for business or pleasure stay.

Room Tip: Request a toom away from I-5 to avoid road noise which is considerable and 24/7.

“"Roaches. Really"?”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I am loyal to staying at Marriott branded hotels when I travel. I travel at least once a month throughout the year. This was the first time staying at this hotel in Buena Park. First of all, the hotel looked like an apartment complex. When I walked into my room, I was totally disappointed at the "1970's" decor. Old, old, old. About 11:30pm, I go to plug my cell phone up in the kitchen and what scurried across the counter? You guessed it; a ROACH! I was livid and immediately called the front desk. The clerk told me that someone would be there shortly. "Shortly" turned into 20 minutes. In walks the clerk with a can of RAID. She asks me where the roach is and I reply it is going in and out of the microwave. The clerk sprayed the counter with raid and then asked me if I was going to use the microwave. What!? Of course not manager was on site that night. The clerk took the microwave and threw it in the garbage can in front of my room. Needless to say, I could not sleep after that. I was constantly checking my luggage to make sure I would not be carrying any extra travelers home. I was getting dressed the next morning while talking to my husband on my cell and what did I see scurry across the kitchen wall? Another ROACH! I will never stay in this hotel again!!! the manager was totally embarassed and for good reason. She told me that they have a contract with a pest control company. I guess they didn't do there job before I checked in. I want to give Kudos to the manager who compensated me with Marriotts Rewards Points on my account (worth a free night with points to spare). I have traveled for my job for four years and have never had any kind of bugs in my hotel room. Stay here at your own risk.

“A Typical Inn”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here on a trip through California. We had a difficult time finding it. It located on Firestone Blvd. No where was it indicated that there are two Firstone Blvds. One is on the west side of I5 and the other on the east side. Neither has a direction designation. After wasting five - eight minutes searching on the west side, my wife saw it across I5. We finally found it. It doesn't have the typical Residence Inn architecture. It's a series of two story buildings in SoCal Spanish architecture spanning two dises of a small parking lot. We had a typicaal studio suite which is a good size. There is plenty of room for your baggage and yourselves. The workstation was a good size. The bathroom had sufficient counter space. Water pressure was very good and had quick hot water. The kitchenette had everything we needed. The buildings are somewhat removed from I5 thus almost eliminating that noise. Breakfast was the usual with cereals, waffles, fruit, juices, etc. The downside is for first floor suites. The space between buildings is an echo chamber and at 2:30 a.m. can rouse you from a sound sleep. We had that problem when a neighbor's friends left and continued talking in louder than normal voices. We didn't confront them.

“One of the worst Residence Inns we've stayed in”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011

We booked this hotel b/c we always stay Marriott and it was the closest to our cousin's wedding events. We knew it wasn't in Beverly Hills but still expected more. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with a sofa bed and full kitchen. The bedrooms were so small, once we put our luggage on the floor we had no where to even walk. The bathrooms were also small. One of the bedrooms had a balcony but the freeway was right there so it was really loud. The furnishings are out-dated and there's only room for 4 people to sit in the living room. Every night that we came home (we stayed 5 nights) we couldn't find parking and ended up parking alongside a curb, at the opposite of the complex. We had coffee and tea from the included breakfast but never actually ate. Our favorite part of the stay was that In-N-Out Burgers was right next door :-)

Room Tip: Stay towards the back of the complex so you're farthest from the freeway noise
