Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Orange Grove Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Sonesta Select Laguna Hills Irvine Spectrum

8/10 Good

"The room itself was clean and the hotel is quiet and in a safe business area of Irvine. The pillows were completely flat and I had to put 2 on top of each other and use a towel as your head sinks in. It was quiet except on the last night the neighbor next door was talking on the phone loudly and we were given a connecting room so we heard everything. Also cleaning isn’t daily which is fine but we asked for them to come take the trash and no one did."

Laguna Cove Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing price for a beautiful ocean view. I had to check in late and the staff was so kind to accommodate us after our wedding had ended late. It was a mini get away after just getting married and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I will recommend this place to everyone. All staff members were so kind and the place is so beautiful. 5+ stars!"

Lemon Heights Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Overall I liked it and stayed here alone so as a woman I was a little afraid but for the most part felt safe, knowing there were families near and staying here too was very helpful. The rooms were nice, clean and comfy and the staff was all nice and kind. There is a little bit of a sketchy feel to things because it is close to the freeway, a 24 hour Dennys and what seems like a truck spot but I did not have any problems and would stay here again. The pool seemed nice, family pizza place was nearby, Starbucks was nearby, Dennys is literally next door and so it Wendy's. There was a little incident where the fire trucks and police cars were there Friday around 3pm but I think someone just needed help but in the end it was resolved and there were no problems with other people or travelers."
