I have been staying at this hotel for over a month while I move from Minnesota to Southern California for a job with my family. I have a long story that goes with this but I will get down to what readers want to know. Rooms are very clean- cleaning staff is very friendly, honest, and do great work. Front... More

Wow, great surprise. We were worried about noise from the very busy Interstate so I asked if we could have a room away from it. Only when we opened the window we could hear a constant buzz but we had a very quiet night, away from the Interstate. The room was very modern yet very welcoming. Loved the fridge and... More

We stayed at this hotel for about 11 days total & were extremely happy with what we got for the price. The hotel is very simple looking & the hotel staff was very helpful. The room we had was very clean & it was nice to have a microwave & fridge included. Our only complaint was that the size was... More

We stayed here while visiting family in Irvine and Newport Beach. Overall, the property is very clean and comfortable. Although it fell on me to carefully look at the address of hotel, I simply assumed from the name, HI Irvine Spectrum, that it was located at or within walking distance of the Spectrum shopping center. NOPE! I think they should... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Irvine Spectrum while we were visiting friends in Orange County. We did not spend a lot of time at this hotel since we spent all day with our friends; we really just needed a good place to stay that was clean and convenient and this fit the bill! The bed was comfortable, the room... More

While not located with a most amazing view, the hotel itself is a pleasure to look at. The clean lines, pleasing atmosphere, and modern colors and interior design make it feel like more than a Holiday Inn. I slept really well in a very comfortable bed. I would go back there and did! Twice already on this trip to So.... More

On previous trips to visit family, I stayed at a hotel right across the street from Leisure World. It was the Lodge, or something like that. On this trip, they didn't have any rooms available that were under a hundred bucks, so I had to hunt for a new place. (Nothing there would be worth that much money per night!)... More

I spent five days at this hotel and found the hotel to be very comfortable. Although it is located next to the 405 Freeway, my room, 318, was away from the freeway and was surprisingly very quiet. I appreciated having a restaurant available where both breakfast and dinner were served. The breakfast buffet was not included in the room rate,... More

I don't believe that we've ever stayed in a hotel this quiet!! No road noise, no guests clomping up and down the halls, no children crying....it was like being in a quiet cocoon! An immaculately clean cocoon. Service really seemed to be a priority for the hotel....easy checkin--almost like ringing the doorbell of your host's house and entering--that hassle free.... More
