I can't believe the low Yelp reviews on this place. I've stayed at this place multiple times and each time has been really good. It's spacious, clean has plenty of self parking... Although you pay $45 a day for it but that's kind of standard right? People at the front desk were great and friendly, helpful, and eager to get you into your room as quick as possible. We had brought our pet with us and they were very accommodating with that, It was only an extra 50 bucks to bring our furry friend. This particular token had a Starbucks in it which made it convenient as we were in town for a show and had to get up early to go to the event. Overall comedy experience was very pleasant and the price was actually really good.. I used the hotels.com app and was able to find a screaming deal. So definitely check that out if you're going to go. Bottom line? If I'm ever in Orange county and need to get a a room I think I would definitely stay here again. The $45 a day parking is a little steep but hey I can get it real estate in Orange county. Is that a premium. read more

I give Victorias service a 1 star (and below). Today is the second official written complaint to management I had to give and the result from her was retaliation, worse service, lying, and refusing to get the manager stating she's the manager so I'm documenting it this time so that internal and external can see. I urge them to review the audio and video from both occurances. I am a Hilton Diamond Member and have stayed at this property multiple times. I had yet another very concerning experience with Victoria at check-in today. This is the second time I have encountered significant customer service issues with Victoria. During check-in, I was attempting to access a billed-to-company reservation through Conferma. Rather than assisting in locating the authorization, Victoria repeatedly told me to determine where the authorization had been sent. That's not my job but I explained that my travel company indicated it had been sent to either the General Manager and/or Director of Sales email address. Instead of helping resolve the issue, I was instructed to pay the full room, tax, plus $75 incidentals or contact my corporate office, corporate travel department, and the travel management company while waiting in the lobby. When I asked for her name, she stated that her name was Victoria but advised that anyone following up should speak with Jacob because she was leaving for the day. While I was contacting my company and travel agency, Victoria called my name. I asked whether the authorization email had just arrived because the timing seemed unusually fast. She declined to answer my question and would not acknowledge me until I approached the desk again later. At that point, she advised that the authorization had actually been received the entire time and was sitting in the Front Office email inbox. When I expressed frustration that I had been sent on a lengthy process despite the authorization already being available, I felt that my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. I also advised her that ignoring a guest's questions and refusing to communicate is not appropriate customer service. She responded that she was not obligated to have a conversation with me from a distance. I further explained that I have experienced similar difficulties with her during a prior stay. She stated that she had only been at the property for two weeks and dismissed me again. I didn't ask her tenure. I'm telling her I already had a problem with her. Period. (And that was another lie from Victoria because my 1st written complaint about her was over two weeks ago). Regardless of her tenure, this is the second interaction I have had with her that I found unnecessarily difficult, dismissive, and unprofessional. I respectfully request that management review the audio and video from the front desk during my check-in today, as I believe it will accurately reflect the interaction and my concerns about Victoria AGAIN. read more

Came here for our Scouting Orange County Council awards banquet to see our new Eagle Scouts be honored as well as see some of our adult leaders be given their Silver Beaver awards. The venue is always well staffed, with sufficient parking, the food is consistently good, and the facilities are clean and well kept - with enough room to fit and feed everyone comfortably. I'm sure we'll be back again next year - the location is central to our footprint, and they take good care of us. :) read more

I have been to this Hilton hotel numerous times for conferences. They provide breakfast and lunch and the food is okay. The conference rooms are clean and well stocked with water. The parking can be a nightmare and they often run out and you'll need to park in the adjacent parking structure, which sucks because you never know if your conference will cover the cost. Other than the parking being an issue, I'd say this is a pretty nice venue if you are attending a conference. read more

I stayed at the Hilton Costa Mesa with my one-year-old son during a move. We trusted the hotel's valet service with a U-Haul carrying everything we owned after being told it would be safe. By morning, it was gone--along with everything inside. What's even harder to process is that the hotel noticed the U-Haul was missing around 1 AM during a shift change while we were still asleep in our room, and no one told us. They simply assumed we had left, without verifying. We woke up to shattered glass and our entire life stolen. Our belongings were later located at an encampment under a freeway overpass, destroyed and unsanitary. We were warned about serious health risks just trying to recover anything. The experience was deeply traumatic, especially with a one-year-old, and the lack of accountability or even basic communication from the hotel made it far worse. No one should go through something like this--especially when they trusted a hotel to keep their belongings safe. read more

I gave them a 3 star because of the staff, the hotel itself is more like a 2 star at best. Mayra, at the front desk, checked me in and she was delightful. She also helped me choose a good quiet room. And Pechait and Ali, the bell men are wonderful people. Both have worked at the hotel for like 25 years and could not be any more kind and helpful! Now onto the hotel. It's very outdated. The last time the carpets in the halls were changed out had to be atleast 10 years ago! I know this because we have stayed in the hotel for the last 25 years and I remember when they installed the carpet! The rooms were just a room with darkly painted walls. Showers were dirty, they removed ice machines from the floors, they no longer have a Hilton concierge room for Hilton members and the cost of parking is off the charts at $45 a night for self parking and $65 for the Priority parking aka Valet! Crazy! We stay here because I love the Japanese market across the street, it's close to the airport and shopping and they have an airport shuttle. They do have a bar, restaurant, gym, pool and convention centers so that's all good too. Just needs a really good DEEP clean and some updating for sure! read more

I didn't stay at the Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa, but I still ended up appreciating it more than I expected. I mainly used it for two things: the lobby bar and parking while flying out of SNA. For that purpose, it worked perfectly. Parking was easy and stress-free, which already put it ahead of most airport-related situations. Knowing my car was parked somewhere reliable took a lot of pressure off the trip. I stopped by the lobby bar before heading out, and it was exactly what I needed. Nothing flashy, but comfortable, relaxed, and efficient. It felt like a solid place to grab a drink, sit down, and reset before travel mode fully kicked in. Service was straightforward and quick, which is honestly ideal when you're watching the clock. The real highlight, though, was the shuttle. It ran every 30 minutes and was actually on time, which feels almost suspicious when it comes to airport shuttles. The ride to SNA was smooth, easy, and clearly well-coordinated. I never felt rushed or unsure about timing, and that alone made the experience worth it. Overall, even without staying overnight, the Hilton ended up being incredibly convenient. If you're flying out of John Wayne and want reliable parking, a dependable shuttle, and a calm place to grab a drink beforehand, this hotel does exactly what it's supposed to do. Sometimes that's all you need. read more

Outdated....in desperate need of a makeover...rooms are dingy and dark....the thing that shocked me was the see thru elevators windows were absolutely filthy....its one thing to need a makeover and expensive updates, but you can should still maintain your property especially being a Hilton.....the 2 redeeming features were: 1) 7 minutes from the airport 2) the restaurant food was really good read more

I arrived at 2:30 PM and was told my room was not ready. I came back again at 4:00 PM, the official check-in time, and was still denied my room because the hotel was "full." I booked this hotel three days in advance, so there is no excuse for not having my reserved room available. After a long drive, the last thing I expected was to be treated with such poor customer service. The managers on duty, including Shenita, were rude, argumentative, and showed absolutely no hospitality. No apology, no compensation, and no effort to make the situation right. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. They ruined my vacation read more

Was there the other week and went to the bar got the pleasure to deal with a gentleman named Beto he was accommodating had great suggestions for the food and just all in all made us feel at home and welcome. Honestly brightened my day to deal with someone professional and caring. Great customer service you should give that man a raise. read more

Run down hotel. Smells. Rude staff. Ridiculous parking. Miserable experience. Never again.

This review is specifically for the hotel bar for happy hour. We successfully hosted a conference at this hotel and we wanted to celebrate afterwards. Our server was very helpful and friendly. They had your classic happy hour menu items, and we opted for the potstickers, sweet chili sauce chicken wings, and large pretzel. Our group had the white and red house wine and beers. Everything was pretty good and we had a wonderful time celebrating the completion of the Conference. read more

I'm reviewing the restaurant in the lobby area. I expected high class food for the price and what I got was low class food. The waiter only stopped by once to take the order and never came back to see how I was doing or if I needed anything. I ordered a Reuben sandwich. It was the worst reuben sandwich I have ever eaten. The toast was burned too much and the meat was tough. I ordered a fountain diet Coke and never got asked if I'd like a refill. I guess I'm spoiled by real delicatessen food where a Reuben sandwich is so tender and luscious and loaded with the pastrami. The Reuben sandwich at the Hilton was disgraceful. read more

TLDR: Clean pet-friendly Hotel. Cons: Limited Overnight parking I really like this hotel! I haven't been to a Hilton in a LONG time. I'm impressed by the digital key! I wasn't able to digital-check-in... probably because I had brought a cat with me. So after checking in, and paying the $50 pet fee, i was able to download the digital key. Worked PERFECTLY! Because we didn't check-in until 11pm, I decided to pay the $45 for overnight parking. I think it's a mistake. The lot was ALWAYS full the entire weekend we stayed there (granted it was a long weekend). I think you can be adventurous and look for nearby free parking (hint hint). The neighborhood is pretty nice, not sketchy. The room was clean, we REALLY liked the bed. My wife liked the pillows, but I thought they were too soft. if you prefer a bit more rigidity, you will probably need 2 or 3 pillows to satisfy. We didn't get maid service the entire time (again, because of our cat), but the times I met the maids outside, they were super friendly, giving me toilet paper with a smile. There's a bit of security in the elevator, where your card (or digital key) gives you access to only your floor and below. Checkout was just as simple. Leave the keys in the room and go! They have Pure Life water bottles in their rooms, first for $1.50 and second for $2.50. read more

This Hilton is amazing. The front desk staff is extremely helpful and goes out of their way to find a solution that's perfect for you. I work mostly in downtown Los Angeles area and never knew this Hilton even existed. I brought a group of affluent Japanese real estate executives for a week stay. They enjoyed their time and expressed gratitude about the services they had experienced at this hotel. Conveniently located off the 405 South exit at Bristol Avenue by going right and you'll see the hotel on your left. There's even an area for a 56 seater bus to park on the side of the building. Let me give a shout out to Tessa, at the front desk. Her tenacity in helping each guest is commendable to say the least. She was my go-to person for all emergencies concerning this group. Thank you!! read more

March 2026- My husband and I had no hot water from Sunday 3/15 to Wednesday mid day 3/18. We addressed this with management each day and they were aware of a water heater repair earlier that day that affected the building. Later our room still had no hot water so they sent 2 repair men up to our room at 11pm to fix this lack of hot issue. We were told that it's a stem issue and needs replacement. We then proceed to ask for another room. We received a room on the same floor still no hot water, returned to desk got a key for the 6th floor still not hot water, got another key for the 2nd floor no hot water. Informed manager this is a building issue not our single room. We ended up in our original room with cold water. I stayed at this hotel Sunday through Thursday and only Wednesday night did I have hot water. We had our parking fees of 45.00 per night waived and 10000 Hilton Honor points as a courtesy. The reason I wrote this review is to train management to be honest just tell the truth and save customers the time from bouncing room to room. Rather we are having a building wide issue and we won't have hot water until it resolves which in this case was days!!! Beds were comfortable and room was clean, staff was polite but honest messaging would have been appreciated. read more

I stayed here for my birthday weekend and was really looking forward to it. The first night started off great--comfortable bed and delicious short ribs with mashed potatoes and chocolate mousse. But shortly after dinner, I got extremely sick with what seemed like food poisoning and was bedridden for two days. I let the staff know I was ill and couldn't eat the breakfast I ordered. I was told a manager would follow up, but no one ever did. I'm now on my last night, still in pain, and I'm extremely upset and disappointed. What was supposed to be a special weekend turned into a miserable experience, and the lack of care or follow-through from the hotel made it even worse. I couldn't even enjoy my stay. read more

AC in room didn't work at all. Dirty mildew hallways full of squishy wet floors. the hot tub was cold both attempts in the evening and morning to use it. you have to pay for parking even when you have a room. moved rooms due to broken ac and the new room was in use by another guest, which is so extremely dangerous for both parties. the manager jacob's solution to our complaints was coupons for black drip coffee. overall would never ever recommend this place to anyone ever. read more

Wow I got completely fooled by the photos. I don't know where to start as I am currently still staying here. There was no valet attendant and they are charging $45 to self park and $60 to valet overnight. The lobby is so dark you can barely see. They had one person working the front desk so the line was long and slow. Once I got in the room I was greeted to hair all over the shower curtain, a light that turns itself on and off, and incredibly thin sheets. I decided to check out the jacuzzi on floor two which is actually freezing. I learned the hard way. There are no towels near the jacuzzi, you have to go to the pool to grab them. Lastly I came to the bar for a bite and a beer and to do some work. The bartender has no personality, forgot my salad, brought the wrong dressing, forgot to give me silverware. Once the pizza came it has old chewy overcooked mushrooms basically inedible. The hotel is incredibly outdated and empty as can be. Such a waste of money super disappointed I will say the bartender/server was kind just poorly trained. There is no sense of passion it's lifeless here read more

Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa - Incredibly dark. Saving money keeping the lights off - Hotels Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Attended a CTA training here this weekend and we stayed here. The hotel is very beautiful on the inside. Our room was nice the bed was comfortable and the pillows were gel memory material which was nice. They use Crabtree shower products which was a nice touch it smelled so good. The ONLY downsides were that upon arrival we couldn't find a bell service person to help us, they did not offer free handicap valet like other hotels AND... one of our lamps did not work. That is why I took one Star away. Honestly it should be 2 but the delicious food made up for it. read more

Stayed here for a few days while attending a family friend wedding and it was a pretty good experience. We had two adjoining rooms and they had a Starbucks, a store, a restaurant and south coast plaza nearby. pretty much all you needed was available or close by. Took off one star because the hotel could use a remodel. It looks old and a bit dark and the noise levels were a bit high between rooms and hallways. Would I come back? Yes I still would. read more

Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa - Room view from 5th floor - Hotels Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Stayed here for a Business trip for a couple nights. The hotel in an older hotel, but they have kept it up well. The lobby is grand and has beautiful glass elevators that overlook the restaurant, bar, lobby and Star Bucks. The rooms are clean and roomy, nice big table for working and chair for lounging. Beds were comfortable, pillows as well. The bathrooms seem to have been partially updated, but still have older tile in the shower area, but nice overall. The gym fell short a bit for me, it is fairly small and limited equipment, but does the job. I am spoiled I guess with some of the other gyms at hotels I have stayed out. But glad they had facilities to use and work out in. The also have a o pool that looked nice, but I did not swim. We had drinks in the bar and the bartenders were great. We had dinner in the restaurant one night and I was really happy with the New York strip, a nice cut of meat, cut medium rare with excellent flavor and the tenderness of the steak was impressive. I like it very much. My stay overall was very nice, enjoyed the hotel, it was comfortable and nice with plenty of amenities. Check them out. Enjoy! read more

Pretty much needs a major overhaul!! I don't think this property has had a renovation in at least 20 years. Let's start with the fact that I arrived at 1:20 AM and the older gentleman who was working behind the counter was checking someone in and having a full on conversation about being from South Africa as I was ready to pass out from exhaustion from having flown all day. One would think... At that hour if you're working behind the desk and someone is waiting, you might be a bit more considerate, but instead, when it was my turn, he was pretty short and Kurt with me because he could see that I was frustrated from waiting so long for him to finish his conversation that had nothing to do with checking the gentleman in front of me in. OK, the room was clean and the bed was good. I think that's pretty much where the good stuff stops. This morning I tried to order room service at 6:30 AM. By the way it opens at 6 AM. Nobody answered and it asked me to leave my name and room number and I would get a call back . It is now almost 8 AM and I have yet to hear from anyone.. i've called back several times to no avail. I have now decided to just put on my clothes and go downstairs. There's definitely a reason why I prefer to pay more and stay in a hotel such as the Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton, where service is everything.. shape up Hilton. read more

The room was clean. The entrance was clean. The furniture downstairs was clean. The housekeeping was friendly NOT aggressive trying to get you to leave as soon as possible like other locations. The room was relatively quiet and I was able to get everything I needed (food, beverages, and toiletries ) within a walking distance. This location is perfect for business associates because it has a starbucks as well as a many conferences rooms to use. There are also multi purpose rooms that are big enough to hold an event such as baby showers, weddings, etc. This place is good for business associates, and maybe couples but for families it is not the best. As there is nothing here specifically for kids. So I would not consider this on the level off a resort but it does have adequate amenities. David, Greg, and Juan well exceptionally helpful. What I did not like: The valet members, and the front desk right when you walk in (it is like a help desk on the left hand side of the door across from Starbucks, NOT CHECK IN) because they were very rude. I had all of my bags and they were trying to insinuate that I was a door dasher or something. And didn't greet me or say hello or anything like that. I get maybe I was not wearing a suit and tie but why would a door dasher walk in with a duffle bag/laptop bag combo. Clearly, I am a guest and would like to be treated as such. Also, what valet doesn't greet the people walking into the hotel??? That is rude. You are the first point of contact for every individual that arrives. Whether they plan to use your service or not. Do not just stare at people and don't say anything, you work in hospitality. read more

We're staying here for the weekend for work. SoCal traffic is the worst. I checked in on the app and it wouldn't give me a digital key.

I called and asked them to just let her in and they said it's policies so they wouldn't let her in without me even though i had already checked in online.

Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa - Hotels Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Staying here was an earthly experience of walking through the valley of the shadow of death while overcoming one ineffectiveness after another, and the thing is ... collectively ... the employees don't care. Or, the employees are resigned to working in an environment where the management does not care. This was my first experience with a Hilton hotel and I was staying there for medical purposes. I requested to have a quiet room away from the elevators, a room in which I could safely sleep at night with the sliding glass door open at night and a room with a bath tub. I called on the morning of the arrival day to confirm the reservation and ask if I could possibly check in 2 hours early, which was approved. Everything I had requested was NOT in the reservation notes on site, although the person helped with handling all of that. So, I arrive exhausted. The room I am given is the farthest away from the elevators one could get. I walk into the room, open the sliding glass door to the sound of traffic on one of the busiest streets and the 405; it was as if the cars were literally in the room. Okay, think about it ... if you are taking a reservation and the person requests a quiet room away from the elevators ... isn't it just a no brainer to take into consideration the street noise reaching into a room on the 4th floor?!? There is no way the person helping me was connecting the dots ... and they were right on site ... the noisy street was right in front of them. So, two hours of back and forth walking and conversations with the hotel staff about a "quiet" room. Which, after it was all said and done, existed on the 4th floor over the parking lot, which was perfect. I lost count of the number of times I said, "I do not care about the view, what I want is a quiet room." I was exhausted and requested to move the next day and we basically had to start over because they rented the room they were going to give me the night before. It only gets worse!!! I'm in the new room overlooking the parking lot. It's quiet, sliding glass door open, I'm so happy. About 2:00 AM a car alarm goes off. Ten minutes later ... still going. I pushed EVERY button dial for the hotel that was on the telephone ... literally ... not one line answered, even the front desk. Crickets. I called the Hilton from my cell phone, someone answered and said they couldn't hear the alarm ... what? like you think I'm lying/kidding? ... REALLY?!? Can you please just handle the car alarm?? Please! It went on like this every single day I stayed there was some kind of drama from a staff person and/or mistakes that were nobody's fault, they just fell out of the sky. With all due respect, in my early 20's I was a maid who became the Housekeeper of an International Ski Resort. It really is simple to serve a guest when one listens, hears and delivers what is being requested in a loving tone of voice. The end. Really. It's that simple. Oh, the maid was great; I tipped her everyday. The room was fine, too, although the hotel is old. read more

Beautiful hotel. They have one of those glass elevators in the lobby going up to rooms, can see the lobby & restaurant area. Great customer service in lobby abs at restaurant. Nice rooms. Very clean everywhere :) The only con is parking. If you're a guest & already paying fir a room & spending money at the restaurants, why are we penalized for driving a car that we used to get there, and needs a place to be ? ALL Hotels just take advantage of this. Treating one like hostages. Well you have no choice. Like 5 is ok but anything more is theft ! Who agrees ? read more

Front desk customer service needs improvement. My husband booked two rooms for me and friends to attend a ladies retreat at this hotel. I needed to change the name on one room, but the gal at the front desk wouldn't let me because my husband wasn't present. Totally understandable. But when I finally got my husband on the phone, I got back in line and the gentlemen that helped me said he didn't need to speak to my husband and made the change for me. Additionally, upon check out, the front desk wouldn't give me a receipt for the rooms because my husband wasn't present. She said he wouldn't receive it via email, but he only received one of them. He called the hotel for the second receipt, and to this day, three weeks later, we still don't have a receipt for the second room. For whatever reason, they wouldn't give it to him. Other than our customer service experience with the front desk and over the phone, the rooms were super spacious and clean. We paid a little more than our normal budget for hotel, but the price is to be expected because of the location and our rate came with a breakfast buffet. Our experience at breakfast was good, service was also good. Food was good, although I wouldn't pay the normal price if it didn't come with the room. I loved the bagel bar with the cream cheese, lox, and capers, as well as the variety of fruit. We also had a catered dinner at the hotel. That was good too! Food was excellent. Overall, this review would have been five stars had it not been for our experience at the front desk and over the phone... and the fact that we still don't have a receipt for the second room. We need it for bookkeeping purposes. read more

Mini fridge in room is barely cold, even after maintenance came to turn it on and up in temp to cool faster. Clock is an hour ahead and can't be changed. Pool area is dead and outdated, but towels are on stock and plenty of seating available. Pool on bottom level is neat looking but not used and could also use a spruce. Coffee maker can be used if you move it to the bathroom as the cord is too short to reach where they've placed it. Place is dog friendly and there's no real signs of dogs so that's good. But there's no real place to have your dog use the restroom... just planters which is weird. No microwave in room so you'll have to go to lobby to use one- could be a long trip depending on where your room is. No plastic utensils or bowls if you wanted to get packs of oatmeal or even reheat leftovers. We literally had to use our hands to eat our rice and meat, which was quite the experience. Parking is expensive and inconvenient and you'll have to walk through a creepy parking lot to go to and from your car, entering the back of the lobby to enter the hotel. There's only a couple of carts to transport your luggage, which they don't really allow you to use alone. You'll have to wait for a bellboy to help you. Bellboy was nice and helpful. Rooms are ok. They were clean. Hotel seems to have great potential, but needs major updating (outdoors, parking, lobby (keep the elevators!) pool area, etc). Also, parking is $45 a night, which wasn't disclosed to me. Not cheap. As a bonus I have included our view out of our window. Three stars given for the potential it has, for the cleaning crews, maintenance help, parking lot workers, and bellboy's. Realistically 2-2.5 stars but we had an overall great time in the area and don't wish to remain positive. read more

Always ask for a bill and check it before paying. When booking, there was a glitch whereby I couldn't book Fri-Sun, so I had to book each night on a separate reservation. When checking in, I asked that they let me stay in the same room. The clerk said sure and all was good. I paid for Friday night without checking the total. When I got home, I realized that she canceled my original reservation, rebooked me, and my rate increased by 20% (because it was considered a last minute booking)!!! My Hilton account shows that I did a late cancellation. I called to get a refund but they're sending me in circles, saying they've raised a "complaint" on my behalf... what? Just pay me back! I come to Socal often but I'm never staying here again. read more

6 Cars Damaged at Hilton Parking Lot -- Zero Responsibility Taken! On August 31 and September 1, 2025, six of us parked at Hilton and ALL of our vehicles were seriously damaged -- undercarriages scratched badly -- due to dangerous, poorly maintained facilities. Instead of taking responsibility, the hotel management ignored the issue and left us with thousands of dollars in repair bills. This is not just "bad luck" -- it's systemic negligence. We are a group of car owners, and we reserve the right to pursue this matter further. If you value your car and peace of mind, think twice before parking at this Hilton. 六辆车在希尔顿停车场受损 ---- 酒店完全不负责！ 2025年8月31日和9月1日，我们六位车主在希尔顿停车，却全部车辆底盘严重受损 ---- 原因是停车场存在危险且长期管理不善。 更令人气愤的是，酒店管理方并没有承担责任，而是让车主们自掏腰包，面临数千美元的修理费用。这不是个别事件，而是管理失职。 我们六位车主已保留进一步追责的权利。提醒所有人：如果你在乎你的车和安心的旅程，请慎重考虑是否要停在这家希尔顿。 read more

One of the worst stays I've ever had at a hotel ever. If you have a place to stay choose anything else, this should not have the Hilton name because it lacks the basic expectations of the Hilton name. Let's start with the positives: Location 5/5! You're super close to the Japanese supermarket, there's an amazing food court and Daiso there. Elite tip #1 you can walk to the market, take the elevators down, walk around the parking lot, and it's located at max 3-5 minute walk. If you're a fan of Japanese food you'll love it! You're also super close to a near establishment called the CAMP - great places for pizza, bakeries, and boba. Again it's only a 5-7 minute drive. Elite tip #2 - if you're going to eat at the CAMP please call for reservations first - wait can be up to 1 or 2 hours. House keeping and guest services: 5/5 These individuals are super super friendly and approachable the rest of the staff is not, anytime I needed anything I went to talk to one of them them and got my towels and extra needs. These individuals need to teach others here how to work in customer service. Now the bad... The rooms: The smell, the cleanliness, the front desk check in, the lack of good temperature control, non working shower, and the outdated rooms.... 1/5. Bottom of the barrel. MY WORST experience ever in a hotel. When you walk down the corridor you're greeted to smells of old carpet, stagnant water, detergent, and dust. Part of the problem is I think maybe old piping see pictures of stagnant pools of water in the garage. For a Hilton or any hotel for that matter not excusable given the price of their rooms. The carpets looks like it's from the 80s/90s and full of dirt that's embedded in, most appliances and furniture don't have a usb port, our fridge had black mildew inside. #Disappointing. Elite tip #3 buy your own water or go to the fitness center to fill up. There no where else to get plain water that taste normal... so much for being eco friendly? The rooms also have poor temperature control. Yes ac units are in each room but it always ends up being too hot or too cold. Our shower also didn't work and there's pink mildew in the tub. Lastly very rude customer service at the front desk. Complaints aren't taken seriously. They're brushed aside and you're left to your own devices to find solutions. If you look at my reviews in the past you know I'm a very positive person. I give many opportunities and try to find positives but this was hard to see the good. Given my limited vacation days and limited opportunities for me to go with my family to visit a place I'm very disappointed by the Hilton and this establishment, if you have to stay near the SNA airport please look elsewhere. There will be no second chance. read more

Last night 2/8/2025, I went to a Vietnamese Lunar New Year where I have wear áo dài. A Hilton staff name Terrence Sy walked up to me and showed me where the self-park parking lot since Hilton does not have valet parking. He was very nice and attentive by walking in front of my car and showed me to park. Thank you Hilton for having a staff like him. read more
