Hampton Inn & Suites Irvine-Orange County Airport

Airport Area

8/10 Good

It was a nice hotel with friendly staff. A few issues with a broken shower door, ants in the bathroom and black bits in orange juice and water from machine that needed cleaning, but was assured would be dealt with. Shower door fixed during stay. Would recommend as close to OC airport. Contacting the hotel for airport shuttle should be easier when unable to dial international numbers from a UK phone. Maybe a contact on the app direct with hotel.
