Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is set in a serene area, which was delightful, although a bit confusing during check-in. It's conveniently located right on the toll road, offering superb access to the resting space; a peaceful retreat only in the sleeping area.
I found the hotel to be a lovely choice in the Orange County area. The rooms were in stunning condition and ideal for making waffles, although I wish there were more kitchenette options. The service was top-notch with fantastic room service and an excellent welcome drink. The location was in a quiet area, which was wonderful once settled in, but it was a little confusing at check-in. The dining experience included some delightful Asian street food offerings. Overall, a great stay with a few minor quirks to consider.
