I like their gym and their pool at the Courtyard Marriott near the Irvine spectrum and it's pretty mellow here. You can walk over to the shopping center or they can shuttle you over if you're too lazy lol The front desk staff is very nice and helpful. This is much better than other Courtyard Marriott I've been to that's good news. The café is closed and I don't think they reopen until the morning for coffee and breakfast.

Check in and check out was seamless . The staff was always friendly and helpful. The hotel was super clean. I love how it was waking distance from the spectrum. Our room was quiet and cozy. I would definitely stay here again

Gym (11/11/24)
Ruthie B.

Very friendly staff, clean hotel and great location. This hotel has one of the nicest gyms I've seen. Plenty of coffee shops in the area - Starbucks is about a 10 min walk away and Wall Writers is about 5 mins walk. The area felt very safe.

View from the entryway with the front desk on the left, seating area in the middle, and bar/spacious restaurant to the right.

Full disclosure, I did not stay in this hotel however... I did go into the parking lot and lobby because I needed to use the EV go fast charging station for my electric vehicle in order make it back get home. I had to go into the private parking lot which meant getting a ticket stub at the gate. Now, for fear of having to pay to park there just to charge my car for 45 mins, I reluctantly went to the front desk to tell them my situation. I was so grateful to hear that their policy for people who just need to use the EV go charging station, is to validate their parking ticket so they can leave without having to pay the parking charge. Now that's, hospitality and top-notch customer service right there. Love it. Plus the spacious welcoming lobby was so lovely to be in and walk around. I had a great view of another area where their pool is and a nice Astroturf area with a ping-pong table and a few set ups for the game cornhole. Id definitely stay here the next time I need a hotel in the Irvine California area.

The checkin, stay, checkout was seamless. It helps to have the app ready for faster service. They were able to accommodate us with a microwave in our 2Q room free of charge. The Bistro restaurant was perfect and convenient for our dinner needs AND Starbucks caffeinated beverages. The food was overall fabulous! Thank you much!

Me enjoying the pool most days of my stay

Great hotel! The hotel shares a parcel of land with the Marriott Hotel and a joint driveway. Both hotels have paid parking in their private lots Courtyard is $16 a day for hotel guests I stayed 5 nights in a double queen room. The luggage cart tires needed air so it was really hard to turn a fully loaded cart with near flat tires It had a great bathroom with a large walk in shower with the new drain you can't see It has a frameless large shower door as well One sink with a large counter Modern decor & the front desk staff are helpful A very small fridge, no freezer No microwave Single serve coffee maker, not a kuerig The TV is great and plenty large for the room Samsung and has free HBO and also streaming like Netflix and YouTube you can log into your own account The pool is fantastic, salt, large and clean There are 4 free cabanas first come get them Lots of comfy lounges around the pool and pool towels There's No in room safe which used to be standard at a courtyard A safe is available at front desk Update stayed another 2 nights in a 2 room king suite with a kitchen too & has a microwave The suite also has a kuerig and the standard rooms have just a regular single serve coffeemaker The sofa bed is old style metal frame with thin mattress Horrible! I was surprised it wasn't the newer pullout memory foam type they use at some marriotts and the vacation clubs It's nice having two TVs with the suite and being able to close off the bedroom which is a great large bedroom This hotel has the best AC and thermostat I've had at any hotel in memory This hotel is fantastic Sunday through Friday morning but weekends, especially in summer are full occupancy and it's chaotic. Saturday night the hotel was so full that about 10 vehicles had no parking space & were parked at the entrance door where you normally pull through & double parked in other areas We returned about 11 pm from laguna pageant of masters and there were 3 vehicles circling already with no spaces & my boyfriend had to just get his suitcase and go home. There is no in street parking in this area They only available parking were several handicap spaces of course unused and we couldn't risk a $250 fine We loved this hotel except during the weekend, it was relaxing and clean. Weekends there are too many people A high school water polo team was allowed to literally run Thru the lobby area practically knocking down my 4 year old grandson They were loud & running Thru busy hallways without a care like wild horses set free with Poor and no supervision though I saw their coach ignoring them and talking on his phone. This is probably seasonal. So I've given you the good and the bad about this hotel Overall it's clean quiet Newer with modern facilities and High ceilings & we loved our stay. We stayed in 3 room types over our multiple week stay A standard 2 queen room, and oversized 2 queen room, & a king suite with a separate living room & mini kitchen Only the suite has a microwave oven Over the 3 weeks we were in So CA we stayed at several Marriott hotels and this was our favorite!!! We cancelled our last 4 nights with Costa Mesa Marriott because we stayed there already and didn't like it and rebooked this hotel for our last week. We did like the Avenue Of Tmr Arts Tribute hotel by Marriott but it has a parking garage only so that's a consideration. Lastly a warning The parking lot gate check machine rarely works with room key So you need to press call button. This seems to be fixed this week So room key works to open gate

Breakfast quesadilla
Vanessa G.

My husband and I had back to back events in the area, so we got a hotel room. Everything was great. Room was clean, and we enjoyed a bottle of wine from the bar at night. The next morning we had breakfast quesadillas and they were delicious. This is a very convenient location being right next to the Spectrum. I'd definitely stay here again.

Booked a two night stay for my son a s I after he just came back from a 9 month deployment with the Marines. So we wanted a quiet place with a good pool and no too far from Camp Pendleton. I was super impressed with the front lobby when we came in. Great customer service and very nice lobby. They put us on the 5th floor which was nice. When they say check in at 4pm they really mean it. We got there at 3:15 and were told to come back. A little disappointed because most times hotels will let you in a little early. We really liked the layout of the room. He was super impressed and said one of the nicest hotels he's stayed in. They lost a though when we found long hairs on the walls of the shower. It was very obvious so housekeeping should have noticed IF they cleaned they shower. The pool was awesome. Big and lots of lounge chairs along with umbrellas. I would definitely come back.

Heather R.

Stayed two nights and enjoyed my stay. We checked in pretty late at night, around 10:30pm and front desk personal was very nice. We were assigned on the top floor facing the pool. Room was spacious, clean, and modern. There is no room cleaning service due to covid, but you can request towels and anything else you may need and it will promptly be delivered. Did not get a chance to use any of the amenities or restaurant, but it looked good. I'm happy to recommend this hotel to any family or friends for there stay when they are in the area.

Have you ever been in a scenario where you are waiting for the other shoe to drop, because how is this possible? How can something as simple as choosing a local hotel room for a stacation in honor of your sister-friend-for-life be SO AMAZING? Choosing Homewood Suites on Red Hill was how! From the greeting to the complimentary breakfast and coffee, to the Wednesday social happy hour with appetizers, Rose, Anna, and Anthony were incredible. When I explained that I was taking my sister-friend on a short trip in A/C (she lives in Pomona, where it was 100+F!) - they went above and beyond. Birthday gift basket, late checkout, anything we needed, they were there. I could go on and on, but if you're a Hilton person, then you already know. Clean, safe, decor and design always stellar. If I could give this hotel 10 stars, I would.

Top tier customer service where pets are loved!…read more My group of three adults and one dog stayed here for three nights. I checked in early on the Hilton app and selected my room of choice. This is the one of the few times where my selected room was the actual room I received upon arrival. Each time we needed assistance, the attendants quickly tended to us without issue. We arrived at around 9pm. The attendants at the front desk gave such great customer service. Their welcome/check-in spiel was clear, informative, and did not come off as rushed. When they saw that I was staying with my dog, they immediately invited us to bring my dog to the front for her to select a complimentary toy and treat. A first out of all the Homewood Suites I've stayed at! The free breakfast selections were great - eggs, sausage, waffles, potatoes, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, toast, bagels, etc. There is a game room with billiards, giant Jenga, Connect 4, and shuffleboard. The pool area has a ping pong table and giant chess. The 24/7 fitness room is spacious with working equipment. I would definitely stay here again for the customer service alone. Thanks for making our visit such an incredible experience.

Laura at the front desk did what she could when our room wasn't ready upon arrival. After we mentioned the condition of the chair, she arranged one room with free parking, which we appreciated. Deanne, our waitress, was very kind and accommodating. Gilbert, our waiter, went above and beyond. Both my son and I have severe food allergies, and he took excellent care of us. His service was truly exceptional. Unfortunately, the day before (6/12), when my son had asked staff about safe food options due to his allergy, the staff on duty seemed uninterested and dismissive, which was disappointing and concerning. Jasmine in the coffee area was also very sweet. Unfortunately, the positives ended there. Julie, the bar manager, appeared to be drinking wine every time we saw her. At one point, when my husband got up to look for something, she responded with attitude rather than asking if he needed assistance. The bar was packed with softball teams and players, and it felt like helping guests and supporting staff should have been the priority. Service overall was poor. We requested towels and waited over an hour. After following up, we were told the request had been forgotten. The condition of the room was unacceptable. The chair in room 833 was broken and extremely dirty. We were told it would be replaced, but it never was. Most concerning of all, after returning home, my husband developed bites and went to urgent care...they were consistent with bedbug bites following our stay. One additional disappointment: I accidentally left my Conair 10x magnifying lighted vanity mirror in the room and called the very next day to ask if it had been turned in. I was told it had not been found. Overall, this was the worst hotel experience we've had--the dirtiest hotel with only a few friendly staff members. We will never be back,

We were sent to the wrong room. So we had to goto the 10th floor. Tried getting into the wrong room, then had to go all the way back downstairs to get the right room. The elevator takes forever to get to the floor we were on. But its weird, because going up and down it goes quickly. But takes forever to actually get into the elevator. It was pretty hot (for Irvine) outside. And you definitely felt it in the hallways. It was hot and stuffy. The pillows for the bed was terrible. Caused me to have a kink in my neck in the morning. Our included breakfast in the AM was ok. They used liquid eggs which just isnt that great. Dont get me wrong though, theres a lot of things I enjoyed about my stay here, including: The room looked very posh and high end. AC works amazingly. The bed is very comfortable, you just sink right into it. I really enjoyed how stable and fixed the bed is. The shower pressure us amazing. Good water pressure. Nice fixtures. Customer service. They really bend over backwards for their guests. Able to get some more complimentary water bottles from the front desk. Even the people working in the breakfast room were super helpful and nice. YNK- this is their speakeasy. A must visit!! Great drinks. Exceptional customer service. See my review of YNK for further details!! Lots of things to do on premise. Beautiful pool. Multiple eating places. They have a top golf room. I did enjoy their coffee machines in the breakfast room. Massviely large parking lot. You have to badge in and out so pretty secure Id say.

At around 10:00 AM, we were told that the suite was being cleaned. We went out to run some errands and came back about an hour later. We were then told again that the suite was still being cleaned, but that a regular room was already available. We patiently waited for about four hours because we were expecting the suite we had been offered. However, when we finally received our room, it was just a regular room. We normally don't like to complain, but what was most disappointing was the lack of honesty and communication. This wasn't simply a misunderstanding, because we were specifically told multiple times that the suite was being cleaned. If the suite was not actually available or the upgrade could not be honored, we would have preferred to be told that from the beginning. We feel that we wasted a significant amount of our day waiting for something that was ultimately not provided. We understand that upgrades are subject to availability, but we believe guests deserve clear and honest communication so they can make the best use of their time.

I had a long day of driving due to seeing customers, and really needed a nap before having dinner with a customer later in the evening. I used digital check in and to my surprise, my room was ready by noon (well before the 4pm check in). I was not in the best mood due to the 90+ degree heat and all the driving I had to do when I arrived, the staff at the front desk were quick to help me with a parking pass and I liked that there were plenty of parking spaces (and glad the parking spaces were in a structure that is covered). The room itself was clean and nice. I appreciated the extra towels and plenty of pillows on the bed. I had a very pleasant nap before my next meeting with my customer. The extra outlets everywhere is much appreciated, and the wifi was plenty fast for me to do a bit of work in the room. I came back later that night and slept very well, as the AC was plenty strong even with the Irvine heat. Breakfast in the morning was excellent, I liked that all the tables were clean, and there were plenty of hot and cold options for breakfast. Along with plenty of coffee. I had to leave early in the morning, so I appreciate the very early breakfast hours of 6am on M-F and 6:30am on weekends. I can't really think of anything wrong with my stay, I didn't interact with the staff much as I was so tired and stressed from the work day. The only thing I can comment on is if the parking spaces can be a little bigger, my rental car fit just fine but I noticed the SUVs and pickup trucks were having trouble fitting in the spaces. And of course, $37 a night for parking is a bit steep.

I would understand if no room is available yet, but I was told that I'm allowed to check in 1 hour earlier than 3 pm at the additional cost of $25. That fee is rather unnecessary and pitiful to me. The nickel-and-diming is big turn-off. - Parking cost of $30/night seems excessive; I believe $10-20/night is more reasonable and would encourage guests to stay for more nights. - I was fraudulently charged an extra $9 because someone not in my party bought from the hotel shop and charged my room. However, I'm grateful that the receptionist resolved this matter with me timely during checkout process. I'll stay in this hotel again if the price per night +parking cost is within my budget.
