    Solid hotel in the business district of Irvine. The rooms were roomie and the cafe had good coffee and decent breakfast sandwiches. The bar staff was really nice and made a good Manhattan. My company had a meeting here and used their catering options which included one of the best and spiciest salsa verdes I have had, that wasn't homemade. I was rather surprised by this and it made the meal even better. Id definitely stay here again. The only reason it doesn't get a fifth star is because the website shows that it has a shuttle to John Wayne airport when they in fact did not when I was there. They also said they had a shuttle to South Coast plaza and the manager said they did not but I showed the website to her. She apologized and it was clear in her face that she really didn't know it was on their site.

    Bread and juices

    On a Saturday late afternoon in August, my hubby and I stayed one night here next to 133 highway and close to Irvine spectrum. I went inside and got my room key and the hotel clerk gave me free chocolate cookies. I had to use the room key for parking lot $28 a night. The lobby is nice with tables, bar, restaurant, mini market. Our room was 416 and it looked clean with a firm bed and sofa. The bathroom was clean and good water pressure. The next day we went downstairs for breakfast buffet $32 and it had plenty of people eating the buffet. There was a scramble egg station, bread, juice, fruit, yogurt, eggs, bacon, French toast, sausages, oatmeal, potatoes with onions. I got full after 2 servings of food. Nice hotel stay for one night,

    Staff was below standard, and the room was unsatisfactory. Everything from ripped up furniture to poor bathroom fixtures and the tub was very loud when standing inside to shower. We both thought we'd fall through if we stayed for longer than 2-3 mins. We've stayed at multiple DoubleTree Hotels and this was by far the worst. Definitely NOT going back.

    We've stayed here at this location a few times and has become one of our favorites for staycations.. it's a beautiful hotel and the rooms are big and 70+ TV was the icing on the cake.. love love love this hotel!! Customer service was also perfect Along with the famous chocolate chip cookies!!

    We had a vastly different experience this time as Hilton Honors Gold members. First, the good. The rooms are still fine. And I love the people who work in the restaurant, especially Jose who has been there during several visits. He's very welcoming and hospitable. However, the front desk hospitality is sorely lacking. Backstory: when I made my reservation (maybe a week and a half ago), I didn't get my usual free room upgrade to the 7th or 8th floor. At first I thought "maybe they're sold out?" -- but no, because I was offered my choice of literally dozens of rooms on those floors-- if I paid for an upgrade. It was confusing because if you're supposed to get a room upgrade, and there are lots of open rooms, why wouldn't I get that? I declined to pay for the upgrade, figuring once I got there, they'd sort it out. The app also said something about getting "a non-room upgrade" instead when I checked in. So flash forward to when we arrive. I've already checked into my room via the app but typically I stop off at the front desk -- they welcome you, give you your drink vouchers, tell you about the free breakfast, thank you for being Honors Gold, etc. The woman at the front desk yesterday seemed harried (not sure why -- it wasn't really busy?) She grabbed a couple of waters and shoved them at me, didn't look up my room or name or greet me. She did ask if I wanted cookies. Sure, thanks. Not sure why I got that response at check-in instead of the usual welcome where they look you up and greet you but...I figured maybe she was having a bad day. The next morning we headed down to breakfast and after asking our room number we were told they'd grab us menus (usually we're told the buffet is included, which I also thought was part of Gold). So I thought, hm, maybe there's a glitch with our reservation so I stopped at the front desk -- all smiles -- to straighten it out. The young man at the front desk this morning was very nice. He explained that the breakfast goes along with the 7th or 8th floor room upgrade. I said (genuinely confused) well, we should have had the room upgrade because of Gold, and yet we were asked to pay for a room upgrade. He agreed this was weird and he thought maybe he could just give us the breakfast, which sounded reasonable to me. I would have left happy, but in the meantime another person at the front desk came over and she said "no." She was a little more on the "stern" side -- which I didn't appreciate because I was being really nice and just trying to get my genuine questions answered, because I wasn't getting the same perks for Gold as on previous visits. I was just trying to understand. She also said that you only get the room upgrade if it's "available." She said a large group had reserved the 7th and 8th floor. Well, that might be true that there was a large group. And I certainly wasn't going to stand there and call her a liar and start an argument, but I had seen with my own eyes the LARGE number of rooms that were available on the 7th and 8th floors when I very recently made my reservation. Any large group would have made its reservation before I made mine. So a large number of rooms were in fact available. Hilton just didn't give me one. So then I told her, when I made a reservation the app said something about getting a "non-room upgrade" of some kind and maybe that referred to breakfast? She simply acted like she didn't believe me: that was aggravating too. Why would I make up something like that? The app says what it says. I gave up and went back to where my husband was already eating. Fine, we're apparently paying for the little breakfast buffet -- but how expensive could it be, right? $68. That's how much, for a really fine (when it's free) but really "nothing special" breakfast buffet. So... I understand that things happen. I understand that upgrades are based on availability. But: Tons of rooms were available -- if we paid for them. We were treated as a nuisance at check-in. We did not get any other kind of "non-room" upgrade. One of the people at the front desk, when I tried to cheerfully problem-solve, was nice, but the other treated me (at best) as if I was trying to "get things" that I wasn't entitled to or (at worst) as if I was a liar. Look, I'm not going to lie for the sake of a $68 overpriced breakfast buffet and even if you think such an uncharitable thing, that's not how you treat loyal customers, especially when they approach you with smiles and politeness and in the spirit of trying to understand a problem. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and it wasn't from the overpriced breakfast.

The room was clean, bedding and bathroom. There's the small couch, for some reason I felt like it needed to be vacuum. Has a small fridge and coffee maker, only wish there was a small microwave. There's a small plaza next to it that has restaurants, I did not eat there but did go to the liquor store. Overall stay was good and would stay again. Last, parking was good during my stay, didn't have to look for parking or parked elsewhere in the garage next to the hotel. Paying for parking is never good, but most hotels charge for parking and one reason why I stayed here was because the parking was less than elsewhere. Downside, My stay did not include breakfast, and I don't recall if they offer it at the hotel. You'll have to go out and eat elsewhere or bring it back to the hotel.

I decided a few days prior, I wanted to stay an extra night. They were able to message me and informed me I could book another reservation for the additional night and they would make sure I stayed in the same room without having to check out, which they did. Upon check in, you enter the lobby which has a large variety of seating and a bar. They do have a happy hour menu which I thought was great. They do also offer complimentary breakfast in the morning. It looked pretty popular by the amount of guests that would pop in for breakfast. The room itself was clean, spacious and I loved the whole kitchenette. They have a a small gym that is available 24 hours, and a pool. Parking is $28 per night, but given that you are literally central to everything, I didnt mind it at all. Usually in the mornings you hear vacuums going and the commotion of room cleaning going on, which can make it hard to sleep. I didnt hear a thing! I also love that you need your room key to enter the main entrance at night. Just a bonus security feature. Everything about my stay was great. I would most definitely come back!

I would understand if no room is available yet, but I was told that I'm allowed to check in 1 hour earlier than 3 pm at the additional cost of $25. That fee is rather unnecessary and pitiful to me. The nickel-and-diming is big turn-off. - Parking cost of $30/night seems excessive; I believe $10-20/night is more reasonable and would encourage guests to stay for more nights. - I was fraudulently charged an extra $9 because someone not in my party bought from the hotel shop and charged my room. However, I'm grateful that the receptionist resolved this matter with me timely during checkout process. I'll stay in this hotel again if the price per night +parking cost is within my budget.
