Atrium Hotel at Orange County Airport

2/10 Terrible

"The person on duty was very nice. The location was perfect as it is walking distance from SNA airport and a rental car facility. I checked in around 9:30 PM and when I got to my room there where two bath towels available. One bath towel had brown stains on it. Then I saw a huge roach laying on his back in front of the toilet; it was still alive. I grabbed a bunch of toilet paper and immediately got rid of the roach. I called the person at the desk and she told me they have pest service and offered to move me to another room but after inspecting the room and bed for more bugs with out finding any, I opted to stay as I only had a few hours before I needed to get up due to a very early flight. I thought about going to the Hilton next door but I didnt because I really needed sleep. To keep any bugs in hiding from coming out, I made sure my luggage was zipped closed tight and kept all of the lights on while I tried to sleep. I would have tried to get my money back but I figured I would be wasting my time because I doubt they would give it back and it was so late, I needed at least a couple hours of sleep. Needless to say, I did not sleep well. I go to LA a lot to see my Son and his family. I will never stay at this hotel again. "

Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach

4/10 Poor

"I have stayed at Ayres properties many times over the last 20 years. My company also has an account with Ayres Alisio Viejo. This property in Costa Mesa needs an uplift. The carpets are old and filthy and need replacement. The elevator was hardly running. $24 per day for parking now?? The restaurant food was, unfortunately, quite bad. We counl not eat it. We probably will not be returning again. I can remember when it was family owned and much pride was taken to maintain the Hotel(s). What a shame."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Irvine Orange County Airport

4/10 Poor

"My go to is the Embassy, I will choose one over most other hotels because I like the amenities and the setup. This one not so much. First off the parking is awful. You need to scan yourself through a gate and park in a parking garage that is not connected to the hotel. Therefore you’re dragging your suitcase literally up the ramp to the hotel since the other choice is hauling it up stairs. Yes you can park in front to check in and out if there is room which there was not. The hotel is old and kinda run down. The couch in my room had seen better days and the cleanliness of the room was marginal at best. One square of TP left so I could immediately change the roll, water on my bathroom floor, toilet not super clean. And I’m generally not a picky person. Later that night I went to walk in the bedroom and slipped and fell in water from the fridge. It was all over the floor. I called down to the front desk and they wanted me to file and incident report since I slipped. I said I would rather find out why I have a pool on the floor. Maintenance came and said it was melted ice since they unplug the machine and someone left ice in the fridge. Didn’t help clean the water just left. Oh did I mention the grate that covers the furnace was not attached to the wall and one corner was hanging out and if you had a small child or walked too close I hope you had your tetanus shot. I’m really disappointed and will not EVER stay at that location again."
