Meets expectations
Really nice room on same day notice at a reasonable rate. Accommodations were modern and appealing. Large clean bathroom, comfortable bed, clean linens. Two elevators made the line to get to your room move quickly enough. Oddly though the Starbucks was “out of coffee”.
Horrible Saturday
Let me start by saying we have rated this hotel high in the past but this experience was the exception. It was the day before Mother's Day. We check in early to enjoy use of the pool. Our day and night were ruined by one group of "guests." One group rented 5 rooms with a max of 5 people per room or 25 guests total. Instead, they threw a pool party for themselves/family/friends that at times exceeded 40 plus people. They monopolized 3 of 4 cabanas, utilized 75% of all other available tables/chairs/lounges, took over the pool/mini golf and the rest of the outdoor common area. They were sneaking guests in from side gates. Their music was blaring and grown men were playing heads up with footballs in the pool keeping all other guests' kids away in an attempt to avoid being hit. Management was complained to but to no avail. They stated they were allowed to have 25 people but all you had to do was count and there were clearly more . Management said the music would be kept down and the side gates locked but neither of those things happened. An employee did finally catch them smoking/vaping and asked then to do it outside of the pool area so instead they did it right outside of the gate our chairs were next to. As soon as employees went away, the music turned up again. Due to Covid, pool capacity was 40 people. There was well over that many at any given moment throughout the day. It was not relaxing. Instead of a nice day by the pool, we were subjected to a Vegas style pool party with our young children. We couldn't go into the pool bathrooms because they were smoking marijuana in there and it reeked. try explaining that smell to a 10 year old. The pool hours were till 9 PM but they were out there till after 10 PM; now disturbing our evening even in our room. We were told by management that our room would be comped and we would receive 20K extra Bonvoy points. Instead they deleted our visit so we didn't get elite night credits for the stay, our Platinum welcome points and the 20k points still aren't in my account. I used a free night I was given for being a Marriott credit card holder to book the room which was not credited back to my account. My priority and gripe isn't really about the points, etc. It is because management clearly lost complete control of their own hotel. They let these "guests" ruin the enjoyment of all of the people actually paying to be there. At one point a manager asked if we were enjoying our stay as we sat by the fire pit. I said, "to be honest, today sucked" and she turned around and said, "well it sucked for me too." Unbelievable. She is being paid to be there so too bad it was a rough day. It was their own fault in my opinion but for her not to acknowledge what I said and seek answers is just embarrassing. I would never treat one of my customers that way. On the good side, we had a wonderful breakfast in the hotel Bistro restaurant the next morning and the staff in there was amazing. I will review again if I ever hear from Marriott over my complaints or get the rewards and credits I was promised. Until they get these types of clients under control, we will stop coming to this hotel for Staycations.
Awesome hotel and awesome price!
This is the first time I’ve left a review for any hotel, but this one totally deserves it! This hotel was incredibly clean and the staff was extremely kind and accommodating! The pool and outdoor facilities were great and the rooms were clean and updated. The proximity to Spectrum and other OC locations was perfect. This will be my new go to when I visit SoCal!
Superb Service
I've tried several hotels in the OC area, and my experience here is by far the best so far. The public areas are very nice, and the rooms are great, but the true heart relies in the genuine care that the staff provides. At check-in, the bistro, and running into housekeeping staff in the hallways. Everyone was welcoming and made sure every need was met.
Courtyard Marriott by Irvine Spectrum
This hotel is nice & very clean. They follow COVID19 precautions. The pool area & hot tub are only open until 6pm. Walking distance to Irvine Spectrum. The beds & pillows are very comfortable. The staff is very pleasant. Recommend. Steve Concialdi
