MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

8/10 Good

"Breakfast: Same menu during my 3 days visit. We enjoyed our stay there."

Sonesta Irvine John Wayne Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We were there for five days and everyone from the front desk to the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. Great location, in terms of the airport and expressways. The restaurant prices were reasonable, given it's a hotel. Just know that the menu is limited. The one downside is that they charge you $50 a night for parking. Overall, this is a good place to stay."

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"cute hotel...but overprice for an hotel in full renovation ! At least...when client don't have access to the full resort...don't charge crazy resort fee and parking Location is great...just 5 min walking from doheny state park nice room...but no seal under the door...you hear everything in the hallway DON'T pay for partial ocean view...you have to be on the corner of the balcony ...stretching your neck to see ocean....disappointing Nice staff, good location....mixed feeling"
