Sonesta Select Laguna Hills Irvine Spectrum
"Room was decent but throughout the hotel the carpets are filthy. By back entrances the entryway trash cans were over flowing with trash falling out and drink stains or whatever . I felt like I was at a low rate motel. First and last impression matters. No restaurant and food available was only attainable ..."

Dana Point Marina Inn
"Staff was awesome. Breakfast was fair. Property is in need of a major rejuvenation. Location couldn’t be better. Decent value for the price. Would go again. Positives far outweigh the negatives."

14 West Hotel
"The staff was fine but the bed was uncomfortable, the bathroom light didn’t work and the lights outside of the room stayed on which made the room very light. Also AC was very noisy, I could also hear the AC in the next room when it went on and off. The parking is a huge plus though."
