It's been a pretty awesome experience here all week. The room was clean and the lobby had a pool table. I love shooting pool so it was the perfect hotel for me. Stayed up late a couple nights hanging out at their awesome Floe Lounge. read more

I had a very nice stay. The fitness room was alright. They had a Life Fitness universal cable machine. That's good but..... you need more than just handles as attachments. You need bars and maybe triangles. The treadmills were nice too. A nice touch was the iced to cool eucalyptus wash clothes in the fitness room. The rooms and lounge were very good. Shower alright. One note about the lounge, they need to have newspapers and maybe a work station, so while through the day, is loungers can go in lounge and chill. Maybe do some work too. The location was nice too with some restaurants around and convenient to John Wayne Airport. Price was reasonable too. read more

From our first check in experience with Abel and the concierge (didn't catch his name) everything has exceeded our expectations!!! The customer service at this location is 10/10! Lately at other hotels it seems as though customer service is nonexistent anymore- we'll not at this hotel. I was pleasantly shocked by how courteous and genuinely kind all the staff were, from the check in to the coffee stand to even the amazing pool bar staff! The location itself was perfect for traveling to the beach during the day and catching dinner at night, the parking was a bit higher than other locations in the area but there really isn't another option, there's no free parking near by. The pool was nice and clean, they had fun options for the kids to play and a generous amount of seating. They lobby was clean, great atmosphere, they had alive music when we checked in and the guest sang beautifully! We had a king room, which was spacious, clean, ac worked perfect! The shower was nice and clean, offered the basic shampoo, conditioner and body wash- which was great since we had forgotten ours. Overall I give this place a 10/10 I can't wait to go back! read more

I am a Bonvoy member and received my benefit gift with 5 free room upgrades. I submitted for the upgrade, and it was accepted by Marriott Irvine. When I arrived at my room, it was not upgraded and two of my upgrade credits were deducted. I spoke to their service department, and they were rude and unhelpful. I asked if I could just have my upgrade credits back and they said I had to call the benefits department for Marriott Bonvoy. Well I did this and they told me the hotel was who needed to fulfill this request. I filed a case and the manager reached out to me saying they would update me when it was fixed. This was 4 months ago. I have sent two emails to the manager who reached out asking for an update, and never heard back. I ended up not staying there because of their attitude. If they had resolved the issue, perhaps I would have tried another visit (I travel to that area a lot), but the lack of response was the nail in the coffin. All I asked for was a little customer service. I needed the larger room becuase I had my daughtr with me and needed to work. I would have booked the larger room if I had not had an upgrade benefit from my loyalty, but they did not give me that chance. 0 stars for customer service and not addressing a loyal customers concerns. read more

Nice pool and gym but other than that horrible. The service is horrible and they charge way too much for parking. Rooms are loud and noisy by the freeway and no matter how much we begged they wouldn't let us change rooms! We got 0 sleep 3 nights. Food here is crazy expensive too. They also tried to charge us for stuff we never ordered??? No one on the entire volleyball team had a good experience lots of complaints and we won't be staying here again. Pillows and beds not comfy either overall not a very good experience and won't be back... read more

Room smelled like smoke upon checking in. We had connecting rooms but furniture blocked the doors that connected (please don't advertise they are connecting when you can't access it!). We requested different rooms due to the smell - better but room was completely filthy. Hair in drains, red substance on bathroom plug (eww!). It is a beautiful room - just needs a detailed and thorough cleaning. read more

Location! Location ! Location! Nice Hotel near UCI and SNA Airport with shuttle to the hotel. We stayed here for 1 night and our experience was exceptional from start to finish. This Hotel is beautiful ! Catered for Business Trips with On site business center FEDEX or just relax and enjoy the amenities of this hotel. Staff at the front desk greeted us and helpful to information. Using the APP I was able to checkin early and access my room key. Parking they have self park at the front side of hotel not a long walk or Valet. Entry way they have a water station and when you walk in it's spacious open layout with your check in desk , lounge area with a pool table lots of seats to get comfortable and chill , the bar , starbucks ,MCLub Lounge, hotel MARKET , to pick up items you may have forgotten even a spare diaper before you freak out and have to run to the nearest store it's stocked. The theme sand and surf cool atmosphere even a fireplace. The Room very clean with a king bed that was comfortable with a nice sofa with a table , large tv screen , walk in showers and mini fridge , safe , coffee maker. MClub Lounge it's open 24/7 but after midnight we wanted something to drink and they were already out of water bottles and orange, but the starbucks coffee machine was a plus for us to make our own decaf lattes OH LOVE IT!!! in the morning you have a HOT BREAKFAST BUFFET they offered breads for toasting , quiche , fruits, oatmeal , yogurt , cereals , scrambled eggs, sausages that were i think a little bit overcooked , pastries huge dinning area with sofa's high top tables facing the pool with usb/electric plugs and they offer wine service with a fee on evenings they offer dessert and hors d'oeuvres. check out was a snap again using hotel app I would return again possible stay longer and just relax read more

We had a beautiful Seder dinner here in their ball rooms. Setting was very nice. The room could've used more A/C. Not pictured, but the dinner was pretty good. Started out with matzo ball soup (not hot enough, it was tepid and the matzo balls were SO DENSE). Some vegetarians got a nice generous portion of salad (I would've liked to have that instead). The main course was chicken breast w like a teriyaki glaze, broccoli rabe, carrot and garlic mash. IT was cooked to perfection. Not sure how they kept the chicken so moist, tender and warm! Service was a bit lack luster. They missed having pitchers of water on all the tables. I had to ask the ladies in charge, and then 1.5 hrs into the event finally we got some water. I was so thirsty, thought I would pass out LOL. Then they also forgot the boiled eggs for our table. Nonetheless everything was quickly resolved. Their coffee is outstanding. read more

I'm only reviewing their restaurant food. I had breakfast here and ordered pancakes, eggs, bacon and hash browns. The hash browns were the only dish I didn't like. The texture was like cardboard :( read more

I really liked this hotel, the beds were heavenly, the rooms were clean, the conference rooms/ballrooms are spacious, the lobby is very chic and I liked the bar (a lot), If there's a ding to all this goodness is having a not so pleasant experience when I asked this gentleman by the station close to the front desk - I felt he wasn't all enthused with me asking if my party had already arrived for the evening. Maybe he's not having a good day or might have had a long day but for someone who used to worked in Luxury Hospitality - his attitude was unacceptable - I'm not going to give it a pass as for one thing, the rooms weren't cheap and I was expecting top notch service. I have to give props to the ladies in the front desk though, they were so sweet and accommodating they definitely pacified my annoyance with my experience with that "gentleman" . Anyway, this hotel is quite nice, I just hope they improve customer service to my bone of contention. Disappointing. read more

Was charged $42 for parking there for 3 hours with validation however the sign indicated 3-hour free parking with validation. Parking ticket machine was not well maintained read more

Nice place to stay if you like getting charged for everything. EVERYTHING. The first thing you see as you enter the parking lot is the sign: $37/day for parking. Yes, even hotel guests have to pay. And not even covered parking, just a sun-baked lot. How about internet access? That will be $14.95/day, please. Thirsty? $7.00 for a bottle of water. You might expect getting nickel-and-dimed to death at a Motel 6, but at a Marriott, where you're already paying a premium room rate? Aside from the charges, here's a bonus: No exhaust fan in the bathroom! Who builds a high-class hotel hotel without that? If your traveling companion does their business in the bathroom...well, good luck. Hold your breath? Sound insulation is extremely poor. You can hear every footstep and voice in the hallways. This is day one of four, so there will probably be more surprises to follow... read more

I've stayed at better 2 star hotels. Double bed room was a value for the area at $130 + $32 for parking. Room looked okay until I went to make coffee and found moldy tea bags waiting for me. One last thing to keep in mind if you choose to stay here. If you pay the $32 per night for parking, you'll need to keep a room key (no one tells you this) in order to get out of the parking lot for the last time. We ended up waiting at the gate, pressing the button for assistance, waiting 5 minutes and going back inside only to be told to go back out and press the button again. Or wait in line at check-in for a room key for the room we just checked out of? Anyhow, the parking situation could use some work. I'll stay at another Marriott, but probably not this one. read more

Irvine Marriott - Moldy tea bag in coffee maker - Hotels Near Me - Irvine, California

Everything in the room was as described. Man in charge of breakfast is always on top of things and very attentive. 10/10 Only giving 4 stars because of parking pass situation. When we checked in, we weren't aware of the need for a parking pass, and had to come back to the front desk the next morning to ask for one. We parked overnight without one and thankfully didn't get towed, like what the pass said. Will definitely come back though if I'm ever in the area again. Clean rooms and great discount for the rooms overall. read more

I stayed at this property recently and liked it a lot. The hotel had a great airy clean feel immediately when you walk in and feels open and spacious. The rooms were extremely nice, and the bedding was very comfortable. It was very spacious, and also had a clean airy feel. Everything had an updated feel with plugs and USB ports all around the work area. The staff was very friendly and polite and they were welcoming as you walked in --there is also a concierge in the lobby. The hotel has a full-blown Starbucks inside with a restaurant/bar area tucked to the side in the lobby and open to outside. There was plenty of parking in the lot immediately outside, and valet if you prefer. Regular parking was $32 per night. Overall a great spot to stay though is a bit out the way if you wanting to be by the ocean. read more

Stayed in a suite -- the ceilings were extremely low & the bathroom was so small (no water closet). No ceiling fan either The halls seemed outdated. The ceiling height was a reminder that the hotel must of been renovated. The style of the room/lobby is appealing, but the room just didn't feel home-y or cozy at all. Beds and pillows are nice, and the big flat screen is awesome even though it doesn't have all cable channels, weird. Debby & Morgan at the front desk were very helpful! read more

I was just here this weekend with family to attend a retreat and professional conference. We didn't stay overnight in this hotel since my family is based in North Orange County, and it is too close to home for us to want to stay overnight at a hotel. Even though we were here as Retreat participants and conference guests, we were still very impressed with the hotel services and the welcoming ambience! All of the staff members who served food and drink during the conference were extremely friendly, professional and courteous! We loved how there was complimentary water and iced tea during the evening reception on Saturday. And the fancy appetizers were a very nice treat! For guests who wanted wine and other speciality drinks, those options were available at the bar for purchase. Another very nice aspect of this hotel is that it is so close to John Wayne Airport, and there is an airport shuttle from this hotel that goes to and from the airport! The only pet peeve is that you have to pay for self-parking at this hotel, which can be anywhere from $23-27 per day. read more

Irvine Marriott - Free iced tea and my fancy appetizers at this weekend's conference!! - Hotels Near Me - Irvine, California

Dear Marriott Hotels - I always thought that your hotels were a bit on the high-end, where visitors could come to get some peace ald relaxation. You certainly charge a high enough rate for your rooms. Your hotel is no longer a restful and peaceful place to relax. Your hotel is unsafe for children because it appears to lack proper levels of security. This year, I stayed at your hotel (May 2014) while you hosted the 2014 CaliFur Convention. When I entered the hotel, there were hundreds (250+) of people standing, sitting, and laying around on the ground of the hallway. When I asked the front desk what convention was going on, the front desk clerk mentioned that it was a CaliFur party. When I asked what a Furry Party was, the clerk only responded with it being a dress up party! How FUN! Well, at least on the surface. Note, I have nothing against people or organizations who engage in Furry activities. I enjoyed meeting blue unicorns, blue foxes, silver dragons, tan foxes, white dogs, etc. Everyone was super friendly! However, I do have a problem with the management staff who cannot control the unruly and outrageous "parties and events" that go on in the hotel rooms. I smelled all kinds of things throughout the night from outside of my room - bongs, flavored cigarettes, and marijuana. It was not me who partook in these products, but my guess was that it was the people from the conference. My thought was that if the Marriott staff cannot control their guests in the lobby and ballroom hallways, they certainly aren't going to control their guests on the upper floors. Why bother calling security? Why the frustration? One year ago, there was another conference during my stay with very drunk guests. It was not pleasant to see drunk guests passed out in the elevators. Two years ago, there was a cheerleading competition for what looked like 12 - 14 year olds and the ~400 guests were staying at the hotel cheering into the late night (11:00 p.m.+). Marriott Hotels, your service and quality is equivalent to the Motel 6 hotels. I don't know if I'll be back. Product Grade: D Service Grade: F. Worth the Money Grade: D- Overall Impression Grade: D- read more

Very greedy, money hungry management. The first hotel where there was no complementary water and no vending machine for water. Had to buy water for $5 a bottle from their store. No other stores in the vicinity. They charge extra $5 if you just want the reception to bring food up to your room. The upside is they are very clean, but that is standard Marriot across all their properties, nothing special there. The last time, I will stay here. There are other Marriots nearby where the service is far better. read more

"The White Brick Road" Ambulated into the Marriott for the Starbucks located inside (so loving the Flat White Coffee Concoction---no it's not Viennese Melange but pretty close). The Staff was welcoming from the Valet Attendant upon arrival (wearing his vermillion/nightshade outfit complete with hat and Cheshire cat smile). Walking through the main lobby it was a challenge to keep focused traveling directly to Starbucks as the marital play of variegated light onto the renovated lounge demanded attention, as if screaming in unison "try me." So we followed the white brick road which illuminated the way to the lounge (Starbucks was not open for a caffeine infusion) but we were directed by Martin (our Host) to trendy white booth in the lounge that offered a great system called Kallpod. Basically I pressed a button and seconds later a table got cleaned or a check was presented (yes they had tech!). The location of our booth offered "more than a peak" view of Noah Needleman on his electric guitar, his vocals were haunting as my coffee cup (Home Brewed Marriott Carafe) was suspended in air and below its' companion Churro Bread Pudding with its three dipping sauces of honey, chocolate syrup, and a delightful caramel. In awe we listened to Noah's rendition of Bono's "All I want is You." After this amazing set a quick glance round led way to knowing grins and smiling faces of Irvine suited professionals. Lounge was packed---who knew it was a sleepy Thursday in a Airport/Business area of Irvine. I took a few humble photos of the lounge, Noah and the entry (recently renovated for 5 million dollars) and vowed to return, felt like a VIP in the house instead of a lowly patron disguised in cycling gear (Hi Guys remember me...Gotcha!) I am definitely coming back (Like I escaped my book cave for this one). Well worth it. Be sure to call ahead for seating on Thursday as it got busy. Here is the link to the Irvine Marriott and Noah Needleman. Questions: Who was the Designer/Architect on this remodel? Is Noah there every week on Thursday? What type of Signature Beverages are offered? http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/laxir-irvine-marriott/ Noah Needleman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmSsyd9ElTo India read more

This is strictly for their Valet services as I use this for Park and Fly, their valets are great, especially Franco. He's always cheery and welcoming whenever I drop off my car. read more

Friendly staff and spotlessly clean, decent (though bordering on threadbare and slightly worn out) rooms. So why the low rating? First, the property charges an EXORBITANT overnight parking charge of $20.00. Yes folks, TWENTY DOLLARS to self park your car in outdoor, uncovered parking lot. Ridiculous. Second, this is one of those cheap properties where the management shuts off the air conditioning in the rooms at night so you will be sweltering. I know we all need to save some money but hotels that try to save a buck at their customers' expense really irks me to no end. I'm paying a lot to stay in your hotel so I should at least expect to be comfortable temperature-wise. I have a feeling I'm going to get some response from the management about how they don't shut off the air but trust me, they do. I travel A LOT and I can count on one hand the hotels that do this. They think their guests won't notice because it's in the middle of the night but when I wake up sweating at 3 am and the a/c vents are blowing lukewarm air, you know it's one of "those" offending properties. I hate that and I feel like it's my mission to warn other travelers. NEVER again. You have been warned. read more

This review is for their conference/ ballrooms. I attended a seminar here this week for work and let me just say that the setup for conferences is pretty awesome. First of all, there's an LCD screen welcoming you into the conference room hallway with a list of seminars/ workshops going on for the day and which rooms they were in. The food served during my workshop was mostly snacks during the afternoon consisting of cheeses, dried fruits, nuts, Starbucks coffees, Tazo teas, ice cold sodas, and water. There was a happy hour, which I did not attend, (I know right, Trina D. not drink? Blasphemy!) where a FULL bar was brought into the ballroom. There was a hot pasta bar served too, which I didn't stay to try either. I guess after a long afternoon of discussion inside a ballroom with 100 regulatory people, I wasn't feeling it. Next time folks, next time. I must say, that the restrooms are immaculate. There are towels, feminine products, and tissues set aside for you in the restroom should the need arise. Parking was validated by the workshop people if you parked in the correct lot. Look for the signs for the Marriott Visitor parking and that was the lot I ended up in which was incidentally the closest to the conference/ ballroom hallway where I needed to be anyway. I definitely wouldn't mind attending another workshop here. The environment is conducive to learning and the amenities aren't too shabby either. read more

I was here for 2 nights and would call it a 3.5 star stay. It's a quick trip from the airport and has a beautiful lobby. I got in early afternoon and was happy to get a room right away. The person at the front desk was very friendly and offered me a bottled water. They also have fruit infused water in the entry which is a nice touch. My room was nice and contemporary I did have an issue with the room though. Most of the lights are motion activated and are not on a very long timer. The main lights shut off when I was reading in bed and the bathroom lights shut off each morning when I was taking a shower! I'm all for being green, but you shouldn't have to shower in the dark! I went to the bar one evening with a group. We sat in a booth and pulled a couple of chairs up to fit a few extra people. They told us we needed to pull the chairs in further due to fire code which we did. Everything seemed fine until someone else came up and told us we had to move completely. They should've just said that right away instead of waiting until we were all settled in and had ordered. They did move us to another table, but it was an annoyance. A friend had club access and they always had snacks out. read more

I only looked at trip advisor before booking here, and it was a huge mistake. There was urine on the toilet, and dead insects on the table. I wiped down everything in the room with a cleaning wipe, and it was completely dirty. This place isn't sanitary and should be avoided. Parking is extremely expensive as well, especially when located in the middle of nowhere. The only bonus was that the front desk was nice. read more

I stayed here for a couple of nights recently, and have a mixed opinion of the place. It was ok, but I don't know that I would stay again. Location: it's in the middle of a business park. Not much around. It's also situated right up against a major freeway, with the airport on the other side. That translates to "omg it's so noisy!" I had a corner room, overlooking the freeway. This is not a room you want. 2 reasons: 1) the freeway noise is awful (imagine the sound of trucks driving through your room... sounds like that), and 2) the other side of the wall is the service elevator/area. Also quite noisy, and all day and night. the service elevator squeaks loudly, the staff bangs stuff around. it's not pleasant. Room: small. the bedroom part is ok. not spacious at all, but it'll do. parts have been redone and are fine, but some furnishings are clearly quite old. i had a nasty worn out dirty arm chair in my room, that looked just gross. carpet on the other hand, looked nearly new. weird. Beds: ok, so inconsistent I guess. I had a king bed, and it was one of the most comfortable hotel beds i've found in years. and i am picky. it was great. my kid stayed in a double room, and said their beds were horribly uncomfortable... she even tried sleeping backwards to see if that was better. and she's not picky. she hated it. Bathroom: teeny tiny. the doorway is so narrow that you have to turn sideways to go in. seriously. you have to do a bit of maneuvering to stand at the sink without tripping over the toilet. it's the smallest hotel bathroom i've ever seen. oh, and there is a drop ceiling in the bathroom. that weirded me out a bit. service: fine. everyone was pleasant. nothing outstanding, but no complaints either. parking: $20 for self parking read more

Don't expect: good service from the front, your car to be driven responsibly by the valets or clean rooms.

Check in - The check in process was really fast and the front desk lady was extremely nice! Ambiance - Upon entering the hotel it's a beautiful view of palm trees, excellent decor and a extremely well kept pieces of art throughout. The room service - I ordered breakfast and lunch which the food was really good but the presentation is not what I was expecting. The food is delivered in a bag like takeout order and if I'm ordering room service I expect for it to be laid out especially if I'm paying 25 bucks for a cheeseburger. The parking - definitely over priced , being that it's Irvine and not New York City the parking shouldn't be 33 bucks a night; the overall rating of the hotel is not even 4 stars but you're charging 4 star hotel pricing for parking. read more

I went to the Marriott for a banquet on this past Friday night. The salad had been sitting on the table over an hour prior to people entering the room. A small plate of room temperature lettuce sitting on a plate was very unappetizing. They served a small piece of chicken on top of many different sauces squirted on the plate making for a very disagreeable taste. Many people left their food and just ate bread. The dessert was awful and I love sweets. Maybe it was just the one I got as a few other people at my table had a different one. The cream for the coffee had been sitting out as long as the salad and literally coagulated in my coffee. The Marriott should be thoroughly embarrassed. I have been to countless events and have never seen such poor quality catering. I would never recommend having an event here. read more

I started enjoying the hospitality at this hotel a couple years before the pandemic when I have business in the area. Each and every visit has been consistently an experience that has me looking forward to the next opportunity to stay here. Last night was no exception when I was kindly greeted by Mikiki at the front desk. She treated me like a platinum member (I am not-yet) and accommodated my reasonable requests like it was her pleasure. Marriott in general has long been known for excellent customer service but it takes an intuitive employee to take hospitality to the next level. IMO, this location has a talent pool that does and will continue to bring me coming back. read more

Stayed here on a business trip. Hotel conveniently located next to our office and airport. Staff was friendly; check-in was easy-breezy. Room was OK. I wasn't impressed - seemed dated; didn't match the look/feel of the hotel, especially after walking through the lobby , Convenient that a Starbucks was located inside. Across the hotel is Specialties. I had an opportunity to eat breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. Mediocre. Their patio with fire pits attracts the locals to hang out on a Thursday night.
