Staybridge Suites Irvine - John Wayne Airport, an IHG Hotel

The room is very clean, with all the necessary items for home travel, Wi-Fi is very fast, the bathroom is spacious, and the hotel's surrounding environment is nice and quiet. Suitable for family travel.

This hotel is generally quite good, but there is a particularly bad problem. They installed the air conditioning compressor in the bedroom (the compressor is in the grille with the red circle in the picture), and it is very old equipment. The cooling effect is very general (it is not very cool even when it is turned to the lowest temperature, and the room temperature is still quite high). It makes a huge noise all the time~ It is really huge... It is like a large old machine constantly rumbling in my ears, and it made both of us collapse in the middle of the night (I don’t sleep very well, and my husband sleeps very well, and we can’t stand it...) We originally booked 17 nights, but after staying for a few days, we couldn’t stand the torture and changed to another hotel nearby. The hotel’s own engineers and front desk staff admitted that this design is really weird... We originally wanted to compromise and change rooms to see if it would be better, but they all had the same structural design, and the compressor was not that exaggeratedly noisy. The infrastructure of this hotel feels too old (it’s also amazing that it is a hotel that has been open for 4 years), including the water flow is often very small, and it’s not very good to take a shower during peak hours... So the old compressor is installed in the bedroom again, which is simply, I have never seen it before...

I stayed here for five nights with my two children and I really liked this hotel. The main reasons are: 1. The kitchen utensils are complete and you can really cook simple dishes. For example, there are small items such as detergent, dishwasher powder, and spatula, as well as large items such as soup pots and iron woks (non-stick pans). The induction cooker heats up very quickly and is not suitable for stir-frying, but it can boil water for dumplings, noodles, and frying beef. There are microwave ovens, toasters, and coffee machines, but no kettles or rice cookers. 2. There are many breakfast options, and the staple food and meat are different every day, and they are cycled every three days. There are many fruits. From Monday to Wednesday from 5:30 to 7pm, there are free light meals, such as salads and staple foods. People with small appetites can eat their fill, and the themes are different every day, such as Mexican, Greek, and Italian. 3. The one-bedroom suite is 53 square meters, which is very spacious. Once the bedroom door is closed, people who are doing things in the kitchen and living room will not be disturbed by those who are resting in the bedroom. 4. The sound insulation between the rooms is very good, and you can't hear the sound from the next room, and the corridor is also quiet. But someone was jumping upstairs, and I could clearly hear it. My room faces the main road, and I can hear the sound of vehicles, but it doesn't affect my sleep because there are fewer cars at night. 5. The public area is large, new and bright, both indoors and outdoors. The swimming pool is not big, but bath towels are provided. 6. The sofa bed is easy to operate, and bedding is provided, so you can make it yourself. But the spring mattress is not suitable for heavy people. You can feel the spring against your waist, but it is no problem for children to sleep. 7. There are 4 washing machines and 4 dryers in the laundry room. 3$/time, swipe credit card. 8. There is Costco and Korean supermarket H Mart (with Korean lunch boxes) within a 5-minute drive, which is convenient for buying some semi-finished products to cook.

The hotel is clean and well-structured, with a convenient kitchen and separate wet and dry bathrooms. The hotel staff are friendly and welcoming. Not far from Costco and Walmart.
