The good parts like having a mini fridge and microwave and a large TV with comfortable beds is why I gave it 3 stars. It's a decent place that stay for an affordable price. The one other problem was cleanliness. I've attached a picture of the washcloth provided in our room, As you can see there is a false eyelash stuck on it. So it's hard for me to give more than 3 stars. I think 3 stars is fair.

The hotel is right off the freeway but don't worry it's not noisy at all. We were able to check in 1.5 hour earlier than check in and it was free of charge, which was amazing. We booked the standard king sized room and it had plenty of space. It was very clean. Water pressure was okay and rooms temperature was well regulated with the air conditioner. I'd definitely stay here again. Only downside was that we had to pay $30 a day for parking. Not sure why. They had their own private parking lot and garage. But I looked at a few hotels on the area and they also charged $25-30 a day.

It consistently delivers a 5-star experience every time. The entire front desk team is outstanding -- truly all great staff. A special thank you to Alexander, Alex, and Jocelyn, but honestly everyone we've encountered has been welcoming, professional, and efficient. They consistently make check-in smooth and ensure we feel valued as returning guests. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and very spacious. After long workdays, it's great coming back to a quiet, relaxing space. The beds are cozy, and the layout gives plenty of room to unwind. We also really enjoy the on-site restaurant and bar. It's convenient, has a great atmosphere, and makes evenings easy when we don't want to go far. The pool and hot tub area are another highlight -- clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing after a busy day. The location is ideal for business travel. It's very close to John Wayne Airport and just minutes from South Coast Plaza, which is great for dining and shopping. Overall, this hotel consistently checks all the boxes for us -- friendly staff, comfortable and spacious rooms, excellent amenities, and a convenient location. We'll continue staying here throughout the year.

Those two were an uncomfortable customer service sight to see. Do better.

Great happy hour from 3:30 to 6:30 pm i believe. They have delicious cookies up front including chocolate chip and sugar cookies. I loved the jacuzzi in the bathtub. Made it more relaxing. The only con is that the tv was limited. Most places have access to apps like Netflix while this one was old school. It's been a while for me to have to navigate it that way!

The location is perfect--it is so conveniently close to the university. We arrived a bit past check-in, and the staff was professional and welcoming. I will say the outside of the hotel didn't quite match the inside; the interior decor has an older European feel with luxury accents. Our room was quite large with two queen beds, but I did not care for the carpet at all. It felt dated, matching some of the older decor downstairs. The shower and bathroom were clean and modern, though I only realized the body wash was empty once I was already in the shower, which was a bit annoying. (I had to ask the front desk to have housekeeping refill it the next day). That said, I actually loved the scent of the products! Also, I initially thought the mini-fridge wasn't working, but it eventually kept our items cool. While the beds were a bit firmer than I prefer, the pillows were very nice. I called the front desk a few times and they were always helpful and accommodating. We didn't have enough time to try the restaurants or sit in the courtyard, but we passed the gym a few times; had we stayed longer, we definitely would have worked out there. Parking is $24/night, which people may not be fond of, but after researching the area, that seems to be a common theme. Overall, I think the property needs a remodel--specifically, they should pull up the carpets. I didn't feel comfortable walking on them barefoot. Pros: Location, location, location- 100% puts this place in the top reviews Large Filtered cooled refill water machine Bathrooms are pretty modern Pillows are soft Staff know how to provide top notch service Cons: Parking fee (can get pricey if staying more than a couple of days) Beds a bit firm Rooms/decor a bit dated Carpet is no-go in rooms Service: 5/5 Food: N/A Ambiance: 3/5

Definitely a hidden gem in Newport Beach…read more We have stayed at many hotels and resorts in the area over several years but this was our first time here. Located across the highway from Newport Harbor, you can walk to several restaurants and resorts. Depending on how far you would like to walk, you can walk to beautiful Balboa Island. It was a 7 mile walk to, from and around the island. I don't know if the hotel has been renovated recently but it was the nicest Holiday Inn Express we have ever stayed at over the years. You can't tell from the outside as it does look older. We arrived at 4:00pm and our room was ready. The front desk staff we felt with over the two days we were here were very friendly. The lobby and dining area were bright and spacious. Although they serve breakfast, we didn't have a chance to take advantage of this amenity. There is a beverage cooler and a small market for snacks. There is also a small outdoor pool where several people were enjoying the water. Our room was located on the 2nd floor next to the elevator but we never heard the elevator, only people getting on/off as there is a tile floor. The room was clean and nice. Coffee, refrigerator, soap, shampoo, conditioner, hand lotion, etc. A lighted mirror which was very nice. The shower was bright and looked new. Sitting area, desk and a bench in the room. We thought it was great. A little lower priced than most hotels in the area and was nicer than some of the more expensive hotels.

We tried to check in early but there was not a King room available until closer to check in time. Both the guys that were working the front desk were very professional and courteous. They genuinely tried their best to be accomadating and helpful. There was plenty of parking for $22 a night and the lobby had lots of seating and was clean. The room we got was on the 2nd floor and literally right in front of the elevator doors. It was definitely a poor design to have rooms right there. It was pretty loud anytime a group was exiting the elevator. Also, the hotel is located near a main road and can get a little loud from the cars speeding down. Thankfully I brought my sound machine which helped drown out some of the noise. The room itself was clean but definitely could use a deep clean. The pillows were nice and perfectly fluffy, the bed itself was a little more firm than I like. The room had a fridge and microwave which is always convenient. The complimentary breakfast was actually pretty good, they had all of the basics and biscuits and gravy that actually tasted really yummy. They also had high protein yogurt which was a great option. We don't live far from Newport but had a lot of activities planned in the area for Valentines and did not want to spend it all on the hotel since we were not going to be in the room much. This hotel was affordable and made our getaway convenient as well. It was overall a good stay and did the job.

However, if you're a light sleeper like me, there is a specific way to play your stay here to get the best of both worlds: luxury and silence. The Room Strategy (3rd Floor Corner): We requested the quietest spot possible and were placed in a corner room on the 3rd floor, right across from the executive boardroom, which is a small meeting space. While the view was not anything to write home about because it was partially obscured by the "tent" structure near the pool, the tradeoff was perfect. Being at the far end of the hallway meant almost zero foot traffic. You can occasionally hear a faint toilet flush from a neighbor, but otherwise, it was impressively still. The room itself was surprisingly spacious for two queen beds. It honestly felt like a wheelchair-accessible layout in terms of floor real estate, even though the bathroom was standard. It was cozy, impeccably clean, and lived up to the Westin reputation for comfort. The Amenities and Vibe: The Pool: It is rare to find a hotel pool that goes down to 9 feet deep! It was kept at a perfect, cool lukewarm temperature. As a pro tip, grab a seat by the top part of the waterfall as it creates a great atmosphere. Service: I have to echo what others have said about the staff. The concierge was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to be accommodating, which is impressive considering how busy they were for the holiday. Location: You really are just a block away from South Coast Plaza. It is a very short and pleasant walk to some of the best shopping and dining in Orange County. Verdict: If you want the convenience of being near the mall but are worried about the noise of a busy hotel, ask for a corner room near the meeting spaces. It is the ultimate quiet sanctuary hack. I will definitely be staying here again!

What surprised me most, though, was how genuinely pleasant and eager to help everyone was. Housekeepers greeted us warmly whenever we passed by, and the valet team welcomed us back each time we returned to the property. That level of hospitality really stood out. A special shoutout to a few team members who made our stay even more memorable: Jen and Mike at the front desk patiently answered all our questions and took great care of our needs. Ben at Pete's was incredibly warm and attentive -- he made us feel like we were hanging out at a favorite neighborhood bar. Bu at Watertable quickly remembered our preferences after we dined there two nights in a row, which was such a thoughtful touch. And M and K at the spa (I wish I could remember their full names!) were so accommodating, even though we arrived just an hour before closing. My friends and I can't wait to come back. This place is truly a gem in Huntington Beach. Thank you for the memories!

By morning, it was gone--along with everything inside. What's even harder to process is that the hotel noticed the U-Haul was missing around 1 AM during a shift change while we were still asleep in our room, and no one told us. They simply assumed we had left, without verifying. We woke up to shattered glass and our entire life stolen. Our belongings were later located at an encampment under a freeway overpass, destroyed and unsanitary. We were warned about serious health risks just trying to recover anything. The experience was deeply traumatic, especially with a one-year-old, and the lack of accountability or even basic communication from the hotel made it far worse. No one should go through something like this--especially when they trusted a hotel to keep their belongings safe.
