    Breakfast
    Athéna T.

    Excellent hotel, very nice area you can definitely tell it is high middle class/suburban area with lots of things to do and cool spots near by, only 15-20 mins away from the beaches too! The hotel is VERY clean, you can tell it is newly built. For it being a pet friendly hotel, the lobby and the rooms are excellent. I really have no complaints! we stayed here for 3 days. We had the standard room with 2 queen beds, it also had a kitchenette with an electric stove, sink, with clean dishes ! such as plates, silverware and the best part it had reverse osmosis filtered water! For breakfast from 6-9 am there is a private cook that makes your eggs to your liking and crepes/pancakes and also have self serve sausages and fruits, oatmeal, cereal and a coffee making machine for expresso, macchiatos, cappuccinos, ect. i would definitely stay here again especially for the price point and location. ps: the host that checked us in as we first arrived here had a huge "hickey" on his neck which did throw us off a bit as that's not very professional looking but overall the hotel itself is very safe, friendly and clean

    Great stay, great hotel! Landed in OC and was able to check in at 1:30pm. The room was spacious on the second floor and had a full kitchen with utensils. The room was comfortable, quiet and had everything you needed. The hotel is located behind a main st so just follow your GPS navigation as it will take you behind the hotel and then arrive at the front of the hotel. The breakfast in the morning was great, starts at 6:30am and had home fried potatoes, bagels, cream cheese, English muffins, coffee, espresso a kitchen offering made to order eggs and crepes. The lobby also has a bar and a convenience area to buy snacks, water, beer, wine etc. Only stayed one night but would have been comfortable staying longer

    If you prefer a wanna be pretend Eggo waffle over Belgian like Hampton has your in luck

    They promote this hotel as a recovery hotel . The hotel is poorly constructed. You can hear the people upstairs walking .. it actually sounds like they are jumping up and down .. more like multiple guests... wearing cowboy boots to an aerobic class .. the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. We have stayed here for 30 days and spoken to many other hotel guests with similar complaints . I def do not recommend this for long term . The staff is very kind and accommodating but my advice is to bring your noise cancelling headphones , food and rely a lot on Insta Cart , Grubhub and Uber Eats .. They advertise a lounge open for dinner but their menu consists of solely flatbread pizzas .. there are other items o n the menu but they don't have them . The representation of this hotel is very misleading .

    Pool on the 3rd floor. Small but nice

    They've only been open for a few weeks now & it's a great little spot. The location is in the middle of a business park. I think the target clientele would be those traveling for business. But sometimes it's nice to stay at a hotel off the beaten track with free parking. It's still close to many great restaurants & a quick ride to John Wayne airport. The hotel was super clean. The gym was really nice & they regularly wiped the machines down which I liked. The beds were comfy but the walls (or doors) were thin & I could hear everything going on in the hallway including the neighbors doors opening & closing loudly. On a positive note they have great blackout curtains but in order to sleep in, I'd definitely suggest turning on your white noise app. I was excited to hear they offered free breakfast but it needs to be reevaluated. They offer made-to-order eggs & crepes but it takes forever & nothing special. I'd rather have a hard boiled egg or pre made scrambled egg which weren't offered. I waited about a half the for fried eggs, no proteins offered. They also had toast, fruits, yogurt, oatmeal and cereal. It was underwhelming especially since the hotel wasn't cheap. Positive: -filtered water in the room -great gym with nice, new equipment -black out curtain -comfy bed -nice shower -outdoor pool with sitting area -small bar in lobby -free bikes -free parking Negative: -walls/doors (you can hear everything in the hallway) -breakfast Overall the positives outweigh the negative & I would stay there again.

    Dirty bathtub on a 'clean room'. You can see someone's shoes and the towels on the floor.

    Don't stay here - there are plenty of decent options nearby. Homewood Suites is down the street, less than 1 mile away from this location and has phenomenal breakfast and GREAT customer service. I regret our stay here and still haven't seem a refunded amount post on my account. Don't be deceived by the nice photos, the room cleaning is mediocre, they charge $28 for 1 night of parking, their breakfast is a joke, and management is not friendly. My wife and I stayed here 2 nights. Before booking we confirmed that the room we were paying for had a bathtub. Checked in and got to our room and it had a walk in shower - so they moved us to a different room, which you can see on the photos attached was completely dirty. I took photos and showed them to front desk - so they moved us to a 3rd room and the bathroom has a strong sewer smell. Finally moved us to a 4th room and this one was where we ended up staying.

    Herbs for the guests.

    Stayed for a weekend and it is a nice hotel w a good breakfast. "Checkout" has a different definition to Marriott hotels. To me and the English language it means you take your belongings and leave the room.. I extended my stay another night on Monday and the "system" automatically checked me out even tho I never left the room...so I had to go to front desk and "check in" and leave an additional $100 deposit for a 1night stay. Total bs. Meanwhile my initial deposit is still not refunded. Pool is tiny and only 3' deep. No hot tub. Pretty wack for the price.

    We arrived late for check in and it was 12:45 am. No one was at the front desk. We kept saying excuse me? Hello? Anyone there?? By this point, it was 1:10am. This elderly man working the front desk, came outside the restroom with another man. Apparently, he said the ice machine was not working? Later on, the man that was with the front desk came to get a water and the man said its on the house. At this point, I said next time if you are leaving the front desk.. AT LEAST LEAVE A SIGN OUT THAT YOU WILL BE RIGHT BACK. Were completely tired from our drive and just want rest. The front desk guy, I believe his name was Daniel apologized and mentioned that parking will be removed and he wont charge us. Following check out, I asked the lady at the front desk and she mentioned that they charged us for the 2 day parking... the lady said she will remove it but its always better to double check. When we ate breakfast, it was CHAOTIC. They should just set up eggs, hashbrowns, sausage and have a self serve with gloves. They had a chef making either egg taco or egg scramble. Everything looked so confusing. If the hotel changed their customer service, it would be great overall. The hotel is honestly pretty nice and modernized but the customer service/ layout of things is very unorganized by what I noticed.

I decided a few days prior, I wanted to stay an extra night. They were able to message me and informed me I could book another reservation for the additional night and they would make sure I stayed in the same room without having to check out, which they did. Upon check in, you enter the lobby which has a large variety of seating and a bar. They do have a happy hour menu which I thought was great. They do also offer complimentary breakfast in the morning. It looked pretty popular by the amount of guests that would pop in for breakfast. The room itself was clean, spacious and I loved the whole kitchenette. They have a a small gym that is available 24 hours, and a pool. Parking is $28 per night, but given that you are literally central to everything, I didnt mind it at all. Usually in the mornings you hear vacuums going and the commotion of room cleaning going on, which can make it hard to sleep. I didnt hear a thing! I also love that you need your room key to enter the main entrance at night. Just a bonus security feature. Everything about my stay was great. I would most definitely come back!

The only thing I didn't like about this hotel, and I've seen this with some of the other newer Hyatt House and Hyatt Place locations, they do NOT have in room safes. Breakfast was great. We saw a lot of people getting upset because they showed up at 9:30am and breakfast was closed; they clearly tell you the times at check-in, so people need to chill. Great complimentary food and coffee.

I decided to check-in to the Hyatt Regency on my way to Mexico and I use my points to book this day. Upon arriving, I was greeted by the front desk perception and was offered a variety of complementary items, such as slippers, shaving kit, extra pillows, extra blankets, rollaway bed. I didn't need any of them, but I took them up on the shaving kit offer. The restrooms were fully stocked with towels and toiletries. felt completely comfortable bathing here. Few pieces of important info: * There is no complementary breakfast. It's made to order but is open from 6 am till 11 am. Room deliver is available. * the parking isn't free. Seems to be a theme with SoCal hotels. It was $40 per night or $47 for valet parking. Great stay! Probably the best I've had in SoCal. I'd support your decision to stay here.

There were pricier locations closer to where I needed to meet, but this Doubletree was close enough to be a short drive, affordable for my budget, and extremely high-class for a "mid-range" hotel. I did have to navigate even the short trip to and from the venue each day, but this is a reflection on Irvine's layout, not the hotel, which was fairly easy to find even in the dark. The parking lot seemed secure and well-lit, there were plenty of luggage carts, and the staff was amazing at all hours! I also appreciated their wide stairwells at the end of each hallway (elevators are smooth and centrally located, but I prefer the stairs when I'm empty-handed) and their spacious, well-appointed exercise room, which is open 24-hours to a room keycard. While I didn't get the name of the helpful clerk at the Blend Café Market (24-hour food, drink, and accoutrement shopping in the lobby), I did note Gilbert, my server at the in-house restaurant, who prepared my order with care and panache, and whose curiosity about my stay and my reason for traveling here began as reserved politeness, but warmed gently into friendly conversation when I opened that door for a minute. The giant breakfast burrito and fruit juice I ordered were terrific, and Gilbert made my morning stop a welcome experience, and not just a meal. Even more helpful was Denise at the front desk. Denise answered a slew of questions for me on the night I checked in (it was my first time at this Doubletree and in Irvine), and she made me feel like a longtime guest returning "home" after renovations, and not a first-time visitor who hadn't traveled anywhere for business in a while. I had more questions (and already a few compliments) the next night, and I sought her out again after her extraordinary service upon arrival. She was, if anything, even more helpful that time, and I requested her name to include in this review, as well as thanking her personally for all she did for me during my stay. Denise is an absolute treasure, and I hope the Doubletree management recognizes her the way she makes every guest feel seen, heard, and valued, too. In short, this was a wonderful experience, and I will certainly stay here the next time I come to Irvine for any reason!
