    Room (the view sucks, looks like I'm in Fresno and not Irvine)
    Tom S.

    Newer hotel, fairly clean, the thing is however it's very noisy and you can hear your neighbors especially the ones above you VERY easily. It would seem most of the customers who stay here are business folks, who seem generally quiet, but it's the families that are traveling (for vacation or sports) that are hella loud and will keep you up at night. The location is convenient as far as proximity goes, but the immediate surrounding area is not the greatest for views. You are surrounded by all these industrious/chemical companies (Lubrication Scientifics is across the street, I think I saw Mitsubishi Chemical Group down the road too). You really don't get that beautiful Irvine/OC view from this place. You do feel like you're in Fresno or Bakersfield, or that area in Fremont, CA near the Tesla Factory. These rooms are suites with a kitchenette, it's not as spacious as Homewood Suites by Hilton but it's decently sized. The complimentary breakfast has been one of the better ones I've experienced at a regular hotel. They make fresh eggs to order which is wonderful (I've found most regular hotels generally don't and have scrambled eggs or premade omelettes), as well as fresh pancakes too. They have juices, coffees, and a self serve espresso machine (which was broken like 70% of my visit though it's not a great machine it starts breaking after like the 5th consecutive drink made from what I saw). The location, albeit not a looker, is very convenient traveling-wise. John Wayne is just down the street, so is Diamond Jamboree and Tustin District. The staff was pretty good, generally no complaints. I couldn't get an early check in but that was not their fault and more about just the timing and how booked they were which is understandable. You can check in your bags in the meantime. Would I stay again? Only if I could be guaranteed I wouldn't have noisy neighbors. They ought to really relook at the sound dampening of the building. Not that it's an easy task to do, but it really did lower my experience here. The walls and ceilings seem pretty hollow, I could hear so much.

    Excellent hotel, very nice area you can definitely tell it is high middle class/suburban area with lots of things to do and cool spots near by, only 15-20 mins away from the beaches too! The hotel is VERY clean, you can tell it is newly built. For it being a pet friendly hotel, the lobby and the rooms are excellent. I really have no complaints! we stayed here for 3 days. We had the standard room with 2 queen beds, it also had a kitchenette with an electric stove, sink, with clean dishes ! such as plates, silverware and the best part it had reverse osmosis filtered water! For breakfast from 6-9 am there is a private cook that makes your eggs to your liking and crepes/pancakes and also have self serve sausages and fruits, oatmeal, cereal and a coffee making machine for expresso, macchiatos, cappuccinos, ect. i would definitely stay here again especially for the price point and location. ps: the host that checked us in as we first arrived here had a huge "hickey" on his neck which did throw us off a bit as that's not very professional looking but overall the hotel itself is very safe, friendly and clean

    Great stay, great hotel! Landed in OC and was able to check in at 1:30pm. The room was spacious on the second floor and had a full kitchen with utensils. The room was comfortable, quiet and had everything you needed. The hotel is located behind a main st so just follow your GPS navigation as it will take you behind the hotel and then arrive at the front of the hotel. The breakfast in the morning was great, starts at 6:30am and had home fried potatoes, bagels, cream cheese, English muffins, coffee, espresso a kitchen offering made to order eggs and crepes. The lobby also has a bar and a convenience area to buy snacks, water, beer, wine etc. Only stayed one night but would have been comfortable staying longer

    My fiance and I stayed at this property for 4 nights while visiting So Cal. It was important to us to find a dog friendly hotel- and the staff at Element went above and beyond. Not only did they help me with a last minute booking, but we were greeted with such friendly faces. We went into the room with a surprise- a dog bed, water and food bowls, and a goody bag filled with treats, toys, and doggy bags. Out of all the hotels we've stayed at, this property was the most accommodating. The room was clean, quiet, spacious, and more than enough for the three of us. My fiance loved working out at their gym and then having fresh made eggs with his breakfast. Plenty of parking and conveniently located! Definitely will back soon.

    They promote this hotel as a recovery hotel . The hotel is poorly constructed. You can hear the people upstairs walking .. it actually sounds like they are jumping up and down .. more like multiple guests... wearing cowboy boots to an aerobic class .. the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. We have stayed here for 30 days and spoken to many other hotel guests with similar complaints . I def do not recommend this for long term . The staff is very kind and accommodating but my advice is to bring your noise cancelling headphones , food and rely a lot on Insta Cart , Grubhub and Uber Eats .. They advertise a lounge open for dinner but their menu consists of solely flatbread pizzas .. there are other items o n the menu but they don't have them . The representation of this hotel is very misleading .

    Pool on the 3rd floor. Small but nice

    They've only been open for a few weeks now & it's a great little spot. The location is in the middle of a business park. I think the target clientele would be those traveling for business. But sometimes it's nice to stay at a hotel off the beaten track with free parking. It's still close to many great restaurants & a quick ride to John Wayne airport. The hotel was super clean. The gym was really nice & they regularly wiped the machines down which I liked. The beds were comfy but the walls (or doors) were thin & I could hear everything going on in the hallway including the neighbors doors opening & closing loudly. On a positive note they have great blackout curtains but in order to sleep in, I'd definitely suggest turning on your white noise app. I was excited to hear they offered free breakfast but it needs to be reevaluated. They offer made-to-order eggs & crepes but it takes forever & nothing special. I'd rather have a hard boiled egg or pre made scrambled egg which weren't offered. I waited about a half the for fried eggs, no proteins offered. They also had toast, fruits, yogurt, oatmeal and cereal. It was underwhelming especially since the hotel wasn't cheap. Positive: -filtered water in the room -great gym with nice, new equipment -black out curtain -comfy bed -nice shower -outdoor pool with sitting area -small bar in lobby -free bikes -free parking Negative: -walls/doors (you can hear everything in the hallway) -breakfast Overall the positives outweigh the negative & I would stay there again.

    Dirty bathtub on a 'clean room'. You can see someone's shoes and the towels on the floor.

    Don't stay here - there are plenty of decent options nearby. Homewood Suites is down the street, less than 1 mile away from this location and has phenomenal breakfast and GREAT customer service. I regret our stay here and still haven't seem a refunded amount post on my account. Don't be deceived by the nice photos, the room cleaning is mediocre, they charge $28 for 1 night of parking, their breakfast is a joke, and management is not friendly. My wife and I stayed here 2 nights. Before booking we confirmed that the room we were paying for had a bathtub. Checked in and got to our room and it had a walk in shower - so they moved us to a different room, which you can see on the photos attached was completely dirty. I took photos and showed them to front desk - so they moved us to a 3rd room and the bathroom has a strong sewer smell. Finally moved us to a 4th room and this one was where we ended up staying.

    Herbs for the guests.

    Stayed for a weekend and it is a nice hotel w a good breakfast. "Checkout" has a different definition to Marriott hotels. To me and the English language it means you take your belongings and leave the room.. I extended my stay another night on Monday and the "system" automatically checked me out even tho I never left the room...so I had to go to front desk and "check in" and leave an additional $100 deposit for a 1night stay. Total bs. Meanwhile my initial deposit is still not refunded. Pool is tiny and only 3' deep. No hot tub. Pretty wack for the price.

    We arrived late for check in and it was 12:45 am. No one was at the front desk. We kept saying excuse me? Hello? Anyone there?? By this point, it was 1:10am. This elderly man working the front desk, came outside the restroom with another man. Apparently, he said the ice machine was not working? Later on, the man that was with the front desk came to get a water and the man said its on the house. At this point, I said next time if you are leaving the front desk.. AT LEAST LEAVE A SIGN OUT THAT YOU WILL BE RIGHT BACK. Were completely tired from our drive and just want rest. The front desk guy, I believe his name was Daniel apologized and mentioned that parking will be removed and he wont charge us. Following check out, I asked the lady at the front desk and she mentioned that they charged us for the 2 day parking... the lady said she will remove it but its always better to double check. When we ate breakfast, it was CHAOTIC. They should just set up eggs, hashbrowns, sausage and have a self serve with gloves. They had a chef making either egg taco or egg scramble. Everything looked so confusing. If the hotel changed their customer service, it would be great overall. The hotel is honestly pretty nice and modernized but the customer service/ layout of things is very unorganized by what I noticed.

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!

The pool was one of the biggest highlights. The walk-in entry was perfect for my little kids since they're still young, and they had the FIFA matches playing on the giant outdoor screen. That was honestly one of the reasons I booked this hotel--it was a win-win. I got to enjoy watching the games while my kids had a blast in the pool. The food was surprisingly great too. They had a special Fourth of July barbecue menu, and everything we tried was delicious. My wife ordered the chili cheese hot dog, which was excellent, and I had the brisket burger, which was absolutely worth it. They also offered a $10 souvenir cup with unlimited refills during our stay, which was a great value and definitely came in handy by the pool. Our room was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. On top of that, every staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. One thing I really appreciated was the location. It's tucked away from the heavy traffic and crowds, so it feels peaceful, but you're still just a short drive from just about everything Irvine has to offer.

Laura at the front desk did what she could when our room wasn't ready upon arrival. After we mentioned the condition of the chair, she arranged one room with free parking, which we appreciated. Deanne, our waitress, was very kind and accommodating. Gilbert, our waiter, went above and beyond. Both my son and I have severe food allergies, and he took excellent care of us. His service was truly exceptional. Unfortunately, the day before (6/12), when my son had asked staff about safe food options due to his allergy, the staff on duty seemed uninterested and dismissive, which was disappointing and concerning. Jasmine in the coffee area was also very sweet. Unfortunately, the positives ended there. Julie, the bar manager, appeared to be drinking wine every time we saw her. At one point, when my husband got up to look for something, she responded with attitude rather than asking if he needed assistance. The bar was packed with softball teams and players, and it felt like helping guests and supporting staff should have been the priority. Service overall was poor. We requested towels and waited over an hour. After following up, we were told the request had been forgotten. The condition of the room was unacceptable. The chair in room 833 was broken and extremely dirty. We were told it would be replaced, but it never was. Most concerning of all, after returning home, my husband developed bites and went to urgent care...they were consistent with bedbug bites following our stay. One additional disappointment: I accidentally left my Conair 10x magnifying lighted vanity mirror in the room and called the very next day to ask if it had been turned in. I was told it had not been found. Overall, this was the worst hotel experience we've had--the dirtiest hotel with only a few friendly staff members. We will never be 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.
