Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Orange Grove Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I have booked a room to this hotel for 2 other occasions and I must say I am very impressed with how clean, affordable and elegant this motel is compared to others in the area. The room was simple and had the needs to be comfortable without breaking the bank in exchange for saftey. The location near the freeway made this location convenient to get to my destination. Worth booking for an affordable, clean, professional and safe motel in OC."

Dana Point Marina Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff was awesome! They were very helpful when we needed additional chairs in the common areas so that several ‘strangers’ could sing and play music together. Thank you!!! The breakfast was good, but we needed vegan options (there weren’t many). Overall a great location and perfect for what we were looking for. Will definitely be back!"

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Tuve la oportunidad de hospedarme en el MainStay Suites Orange County John Wayne Airport y la experiencia fue sumamente grata, destacando principalmente por dos aspectos: la calidad del servicio y sus amenidades. Lo primero que se agradece al llegar es la actitud del personal. Desde el momento del registro, el equipo de recepción demuestra una amabilidad excepcional, disposición absoluta para ayudar y una eficiencia notable para resolver cualquier duda o solicitud. Te hacen sentir bienvenido y valorado como huésped en todo momento. Por otro lado, el desayuno de cortesía supera por mucho al típico refrigerio rápido de otros hoteles. Es completo, variado, con opciones calientes y frescas, y se mantiene perfectamente abastecido. Es una excelente manera de empezar el día con energía antes de salir a recorrer la zona o atender compromisos. Sumado a esto, las suites son amplias, muy limpias, cuentan con cocineta equipada y la ubicación cerca del aeropuerto es sumamente práctica. Sin duda, el factor humano y los detalles como el desayuno hacen que este hotel sea una opción de 10. ¡Muy recomendado!"
