    Great stay at a great price for an upscale room and wonderful hospitality!
    Had a great experience at this hotel and would defintely stay again! Alexander at the front desk was so helpful and just genuinely a nice person that you couldn't help but be charmed and have a smile on your face! He went above and beyond to offer any assistance we may have needed and the extra hospitality really makes a difference! The rooms themselves were nice and the property was well maintained. We usually stay at a more expensive four star hotel across the street, so I was initially nervous that we would be disappointed, but we definitely were not. The room was spacious, clean, and had a great bathroom. The rain showerhead was wonderful and it was so nice to have a separate water closet for the toilet so that one person could get ready and access the bathroom without intruding on the other using the toilet. Seems like such a minor thing, but it really is an important added convenience. The pool area with hot tub were also nice and we spent a quiet day out there relaxing. It was maybe not the most posh pool I've been to in the area, but it was very large and it was heated (I swear sometimes hotels say the pools are heated and they are not) to a perfect temperature. The hot tub was nice and there was plenty of shaded and unshaded areas to sit depending on your preference. There was no pool service for refreshments, but you could go get things from inside and bring them out for yourself. I did see another review complain about the overnight parking fee and, while I would prefer not to pay to park, it was more reasonable than other comparable hotels I looked at in the area. All in all, a great stay and would defintely recommend!

    Very Pleasant One-Night Stay
    The location of this property is excellent! It is right off the freeway and very close to to South Coast Plaza. The facility is in top-notch condition and very clean. Room decor is modern and tasteful, and the bathroom is luxurious and well-lit. One of the lights was burned out, however, and we had to get a replacement from the front desk, which was of a different type but actually shed a better light! Housekeeping/maintenance needs to pay better attention to such details. Service was friendly, and overall our stay here was enjoyable. I would certainly recommend this hotel!

    Great Shower, Comfortable Bed
    We needed to fly to Orange County a day earlier than planned or we would have been stuck in the cold for the holiday. Booked this with my IHG points. Check in was a breeze, Alexander is just as great as the reviews. I tried to take him home with us but they quickly attached a ball & chain to his ankle making him too heavy for even 2 of us to carry. The bed was very comfortable, we didn’t hear any sounds from other rooms or the hallway, very good sound proofing! The best thing about the room was the rain shower. It was the best rain shower I’ve ever had!

Stayed here for a week. Room is clean and bed + pillows very comfy. Hotel has great amenities including a self-checkout mini shop. The location is great especially for shopping and eating out. Staff were amazing and super friendly, especially Alexander who went out of his to answer any question I had and helped book me a cab at the end of my stay! P.S. I love that they have a piano in the lobby!

Convenient location for airport and freeways , friendly staff but a little run down, expensive parking, sub par amenitities and not full service (room refresh every 3rd night). All in all, a serviceable hotel in a pinch but better options for the price nearby.

The overnight front desk receptionist was sassy and racist! Speaking disrespectfully to guest, flopping his hands in guests faces because we sat in the lobby and too loud for his liking. The bar had just closed and two groups moved from the bar to the lobby seating area (we were one of the two groups in seated in the lobby). This receptionist person told us to go to our rooms as if we were children and then made a false police report.. called 911 and said there was a brawl in the lobby. HB PD comes in with guns blazing… children were crying. Cops are pushing us around all on a lie that was told. I won’t go any further as we all now what’s happening across America when entitled racist people tell lies. Multiple complaints were field by multiple families that were involved and no follow up call, email or letters sent to any of us ( we are all long standing IHG members) by hotel management. I called Howard (Regional manager) almost a month after incident to inquire and he hissed- offered no apology and hung up in my face. Horrible horrible horrible. The videos we have as well as the videos from the lobby cameras along with the police report will not LIE. It is now a legal matter!

The place is clean and is accessible from the freeway. The room size feels right for the prize. The receptionists and staffs, special mention to Mr. Alexander, are courteous and very accommodating, ready to extend anything you ask for.

I stayed at this property back in October so thought I’d stay again as I had a great experience. This time around wasn’t as great. On arrival I checked in, paid and the receptionist gave me a ticket to put in my car. A week later I lost my ticket so asked for a new one where a different receptionist randomly said it’s $26 a day to park my car. I argued that I was not told this on check in and the car park did not have a charge a few months back so disappointed. Also breakfast has gone downhill, back in November 2022 they had the best breakfast potatoes, maybe they have changed the chef but the potatoes are hard not cooked properly, not a lot of choice in the buffet like before so I doubt I will stay at this ihg hotel again. On the other hand rooms, location and facilities are decent. It’s just a shame they are now charging $26 per day for something that was free and adds up a lot when your staying at the property almost 2 weeks. If I knew I would have stayed elsewhere

Why is this a 3 star hotel?? I just stayed at a 4 star in Tahoe this week that was way below the caliber of this hotel. We just left this morning. Check in and out was super easy. Room was clean, large, no complaints. We are IHN platinum ambassadors and this property was a delightful surprise. Really can't say much else other than this should be a 4 star and fantastic location!
