The staff was very on point with helping out the few times I had requests, the location was very convenient for travels to our venues, the hotel min general is very well kept and maintained, the walls seem very well insulated, and great amenities ie: the pool, hot tub, basketball court, exercise room, game room, and laundry facilities… We stayed a week here and I enjoyed every day! Thank you to the great staff!!! :)"

Courtyard Irvine Spectrum

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolute gem! I would rate it 5 stars just for the location but this place is absolutely perfect. I had originally planned to stay 2 nights and then go to LA to spend 4 nights there. But after experiencing this hotel I decided to ditch LA expensive trashy options and stick with Irvine for the whole duration of the trip. Stayed a total of 6 nights and everything was absolutely amazing!!"
