This Costa Mesa is 14 mi away from Disneyland and features on-site dining and an outdoor pool.

When it comes to food having a variety of options is essential as i do suffer major allergies and have dietary restrictions. The food was delicious when I dined however countless times I tried to order something they shared they didn't have it. After multiple times of being told no you can get a bit disappointed , but i still found something. One complaint while ordering a drink from the pool area i expressed im allergic to orange and cannot drink orange juice. I stated multiple times and opted for a pineapple margarits. When my drink came they said they didn't have pineapple so made it with orange juice. After the fact I explained multiple times I cannot drink orange. I even said I would take a cucumber spicy marg, but not even that suggestion came. To be served a drink completely opposite after stating allergies could have turned fatal as my epi pen was in my room. Please if someone tells you they are allergic multiple times and they give you alternatives please take those into consideration before making a huge mistake. I was not charged for the drink but the fear of them getting it wrong a second time worried me so I declined the chance to make it right . travel with chairs. I use a cane and chair but when I do not have someone else the tub can be risky. Luckily the tub was low and there was a rail inside. The pillows are aweful and the towels rough. Despite minor disappointments I loved my stay. My breakfast was delicious and cocktails from the bar when we visited in the evening were stellar. Customer service across the board was phenomenal. I can not thank the staff enough for their kindness and hospitable vibes during my two night stay.

This hotel is within a 12-minute drive of downtown Irvine and 1.4 mi from the John Wayne Airport. The hotel offers a free airport shuttle and free daily breakfast.

We always request the highest floor whenever we book hotel rooms because we consistently have bad luck with guests above us being noisy/stomping at unreasonable hours. When we checked in, we got a room on the third floor (no fourth/top floor rooms in our configuration available). Minutes after stepping into our room, the guests above started stomping and running around (young kids?) so we called downstairs and they moved us to an ADA hearing impaired room on the second floor. The deadbolt didn't work but the guest(s) upstairs seemed quiet. Overnight, the air conditioning unit was really noisy, waking us every time it started, then loudly rattling/buzzing while it ran (maybe that's why it was in the hearing impaired room?). The next morning, the guest upstairs started walking around loudly at 7a for the next 30+ minutes. When I went to guest services to let them know about the situation, they were apologetic and found us another ADA room on the fourth floor for our last two nights. We weren't able to move rooms until later in the day, but once we did, we were able to enjoy the rest of our stay with no issues (the AC unit seemed newer as well).

Residence Inn Irvine Spectrum has free bikes, outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center and shared lounge in Irvine. With a tennis court, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi.

I like how the unit was fully furnished, with complete kitchen gadgets. It feels so homely and comfortable, everything needed for short or long haul stay were there. The layout, furniture, beddings, facilities and furnishings were well thought out.

Only a 15-minute walk from the main entrance of Disneyland and Disneyland California Adventure, this Anaheim hotel features agricultural murals, a California-themed garden and dancing water fountains....

The staff was extremely friendly. I put in the comments that it was my partner’s birthday if they could put a little sign in the room. The woman at the front desk said happy birthday to him when we checked in. In the room there was a happy birthday sticker on the window and a notecard that said happy birthday Scott and had drawings of little Mickey Mouses it was placed with Doritos and chips ahoy cookies. The staff went above and beyond making him feel special. The hotel was clean, beautiful and the perfect location we were able to walk to Disneyland and downtown Disney each night!

This Lake Forest hotel is within a 5-minute drive of the Spectrum Irvine business district. The hotel offers a fully equipped kitchen and free Wi-Fi in every room.

Clean, modern, updated with everything you need. Laundry facilities for guests. I was in between apartments and I stayed here while looking for a place. The studio style rooms with kitchens really makes it easy for you to prepare something in the room instead of grabbing something from fast food places.

    Affordable prices. The rooms have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Friendly staff. Quiet and safe area. Close to the ocean. There's a bar, a cool Mexican restaurant, and a 7-Eleven within a one-minute walk.

    My car recently broke down and my apartment was being fumigated, so my wife and I decided to stay at a local motel, and we chose they Sandpiper Motel for it's convenient location.The staff was very flexible and accommodating with our reservations, check-in and stay. The room's with a stove, and refrigerator are a little worn and dated, but well designed, and comfortable with great afternoon ocean breezes. Again though, the staff shines brightly.

    The scenery is magnificent. There are model ships on display, a beautiful fireplace in the entrance of the hotel, an open courtyard in the middle of the hotel, a pool, spa and cabanas in another middle section of the hotel, a fireplace designed heater with holographic image of a crackling fire, exceptionally comfortable pillows with medium thickness. The only downside was that my boyfriend and I both woke up with extreme lower back pain because the bed sunk-in in the middle. I still give it top ratings for everything else.
