The Place was too noisy, thin walls. no coffee maker in the room. The elevator was not working when we came back in the evening and There wasn’t any sign where the staircase was from the second floor to get up to the higher floors. The elevator was still broken in the morning, carrying our luggage via staircase from the 3rd floor.

Room 303 was spacious with a front room and bedroom separated by a pocket door, which squeaked loudly when opening -- unfortunate when hoping to let my spouse sleep in. A cook prepared the hot breakfast items in the dining area but we ended up in a line of a dozen diners because he cooked for 10 minutes before serving anyone. Parking garage convenient. Bed comfortably firm but pillows very thin. Ample toiletries in bedroom and bathroom. Cox cable TV, no access to streaming services.

Rooms were clean & neat. Luv they have unlimited free hot chocolate, coffee, etc in the lobby. Unfortunately I couldnt give 5 stars because everyday our room card wouldnt work. And the person who served the free breakfast was rude and didnt accommodate my food allergies so I couldn't eat free breakfast. Now for the room. It was clean & neat and supposedly accessibility room but it was not easy to get in thru the door because there was a long piece of furniture with a tv on top that housed a refrigerator, microwave, etc. To much furniture in the livingroom for someone in a wheelchair to get in and move about easy. Now I could shower because the tub which was nice and deep but was to tall for me to step in and there was no chair, plus the shower head was to high near the ceiling, no hand held shower head. The sink was in the bedroom but I had no access to their bottles of soap and lotion because they were on the wall

The staff was friendly and courteous especially the breakfast crew they were extremely attentive and kind.Also served a variety of breakfast options which I appreciate. The hotel is in a great location close to grocery stores, restaurants and fast food not to mention SNA (John Wayne) airport I felt safe the entire time with my family. I would say the only downside is that the property and rooms are dated and need an upgrade. if you guys did that you would have a home run! I would stay here again based on the location, convenience,breakfast and courteous staff. PS Parking can get rough at night especially if you check in late to your hotel.
