Love this brand new and modern Homewood Suites in Irvine! Staff was very nice, friendly and helpful! The room is very spacious with nice kitchen area and walk in shower. Location is very convenient to everywhere. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely come back here the next time I come visit CA.

Homewood Suites are typically middle-of-the-road hotels with consistently average service and amenities. Not this place. 'Helpful With a Smile' goes to whole different level here and the place is spotless and feels brand new. Breakfast is about what you'd expect at a property like this and the workout room is average but clean and well maintained. It's the immaculate facilities and freakishly helpful staff make cause me to highly recommend this place.
