Very nice and comfortable hotel. We would stay there again.

Liked: The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was pretty, comfortable and easy to find.
Disliked: Only negative was they were not accommodating with their shuttle on the Sunday night that we were going to a concert at the Orange County Fair. That shuttle service was the deciding factor as to why we chose that hotel on that particular weekend.

Elevated basic

Liked: Location was convenient from the airport, shopping and the freeway.
Disliked: Looks better in pictures than it is. It’s elevated basic.. the outdoor courtyard within the facility looked quite but we didn’t get a chance to experience it.

Lovely but a bit pricey.

Liked: I loved the decor and the friendliness of the staff. Everything was so dapper and quaint it was truly easy on the eyes. The room was amazing, and the tub, per my discovery, happened to be a jacuzzi tub in the suites building where we stayed in which was a huge plus for us personally. The room was very clean and tidy, though they forgot to replace our hand soap and lotion, small defects. Our view was obstructed by a big tree outside, but again, a small defect. The night of check-in, they had a player of fresh baked cookies, which were delicious. And there was plenty of places to choose from around the hotel to eat at.
Disliked: I booked weeks in advance for New years Eve and the price was still just under 200 for the night. So it's a bit more on the expensive side. I can't imagine what the people booking last minute paid. Additionally, they charged 24$ for parking with plenty of parking space, which I thought was a little excessive and unnecessary when paying so much for the room itself. They had a restaurant, and I'm not sure if it was due to the holiday, however the prices were outlandishly high so we went out to eat at a local sushi spot which was delicious.

The three people at desk...

Liked: The rooms were very clean and it was quiet
Disliked: The service

Cozy villa/plaza style hotel with...

Liked: I liked that this facility had some character and soul missing from so many hotels. I liked the old vessel/sailing theme and models around the facility, guide to the displays, and the "plaza" style layout of the hotel with two plazas, one with a fountain and eatery, the other with the pool. Haven't been to Italy, but it had those vibes. The location was convenient for accessing major shopping venues in the area, but as it was our anniversary, still wished we were on the beachfront :)
Disliked: Parking situation was a little confusing - evidently, there is an actual parking app you need to scan and register with to park at the hotel, which is $24 +/_ per night. The front desk clerk said "I'll take care of that for you" which I assumed to mean it will be added to the hotel bill, but it wasn't. Somehow, I didn't get ticketed so it all worked out...
