DoubleTree by Hilton Irvine Spectrum

Location was close by venue for a weekend soccer tournament, staff very friendly and professional, first impression once walking into lobby was nice and clean, staff greeted each guests with respect and kindness, the room was comfortable and nice. I liked the secured parking requiring hotel key or ticket to exit and enter the lot.

Great location!!!! East to leave the parking lot and go right back on to the freeway and located near all the good shopping and dining. Beautiful lobby with Starbucks-comparable coffee bar (Jasmin made me a iced caramel macchiato and my son got an iced vanilla latte). Gorgeous bar and restaurant with outdoor lounge seating. I had a Chardonnay and margherita pizza. My son had a poke bowl. The food was wonderful. I love a hotel with a bar and restaurant. It makes it really feel like vacation. The hotel was spacious enough for people to work on laptops as well. Nice laundry facility operated by a downloadable app. I was able to do a load of laundry before leaving; and a great pool and gym too. Lastly, the room—- very comfy beds, GREAT A/C, epic shower, and 60 inch flat screen TV which made my husband’s stay because he watched ESPN. I will 100% stay here again. I did a lot of research on hotels near Great Park Irvine and this one seemed to check off all the boxes online and it definitely lived up.

When I went to check in they could not find my reservation and the young lady at the check in desk tried to accommodate what I had reserved, Unfortunately they ended up finding my reservation after I had left to my concert and I was unable to move to the 2 bed room I had originally reserved. They had a great food menu and a full bar. The bartenders were also great.

The breakfast portions are just too large as are all the portions served. It would be better to ask the guest the size they would prefer and then it would cut down on wastage which is huge driver of costs. The customer can also given the opportunity to top up if the portion size was too small.

I especially appreciated the big windows looking out at Palm Trees, and especially the comfortable bed. I also appreciated the modern shower design with sloped bottom easily sending shower runoff to a linear drain at one end of the shower. Best of all, very kind and attentive front desk and restaurant staff handled all my needs, especially room maintenance comments, the first time with good cheer. Staff were great!
