4-Star Hotels in Orange County

The hotel boasts comprehensive facilities, is clean and hygienic, has a beautiful environment with a strong artistic atmosphere, and offers warm and attentive service. I stayed in a lake-view room with a balcony; the view from the window was stunning, with lush trees and emerald green lake water, perfect for a stroll. The hotel's beautiful environment is ideal for travelers looking to relax and unwind.

The hotel rooms are relatively new and exceptionally clean and new. Windows cannot be opened, but there is central air conditioning. It's very convenient to get to Disneyland; it's a 15-minute drive or a 30-minute bus ride, although waiting for the bus can be quite long, so driving is the best option. Valet parking at the hotel is also very convenient and inexpensive.

This was our first time at The Waterfront Beach Resort, and will be our new go to when in the area. We were treated so kindly by everyone we came into contact with. Upon check in, we were upgraded to a suite for my husbands bday. What a treat! Comfy beds, inviting area. We were here in Dec a few weeks before Christmas and it was so pretty! Fun events for the kids (didn’t travel with ours this time) but they had Santa and the Grinch to take pics with. Good food at Cabo Wabo for both dinner one night and the weekend breakfast buffet one morning. Parking was a little pricey ($50 per night), that ended up adding a bit to our stay, but seems pretty normal in California. Steps from the beach and beautiful ocean view from the room. 5/5 stars for us!

Don't equate Marriott in the United States with Marriott in China. They are not of the same level at all. This one is relatively new in Irvine. The indoor and outdoor areas are OK. I forgot whether the parking fee is 40 or 50 a day, but I still parked for safety. It would be troublesome if the car was smashed. Parking is valet parking. I didn't see anyone tipping, so I don't need to tip. Foreigners didn't tip either. Maybe everyone thinks the fee is quite high. The room is clean. I was afraid that I didn't ask to clean the room because I was afraid of losing things, so remember to hang a do not disturb sign outside the door. There is no kettle in the room, but there is a coffee machine and disposable coffee cups, which can be used to boil water for drinking. TV can be watched. The toilet is clean. The bathtub is small and shallow. Its basic function is to prevent water from flowing out, because there is no sewer in the bathroom in the United States. I booked the executive floor, so I basically didn't meet people on the same floor. It was also very quiet and no noise. It takes about ten minutes to walk to the Spectrum Center. There are pedestrians all the way, but I didn't meet homeless people. Another complaint is that the front desk didn't say anything about the treatment of the executive corridor, and didn't even say where the breakfast was. I was too lazy to ask because I was jet-lagged. Overall, it was acceptable within low expectations, at least nothing went wrong.

My first impression walking into the lobby, many people eating outside food and drinking in front of the front desk. Overall seems like the carpet in the hallway is new install, room is clean but the sofa is a little bit old, bathroom towel can be upgrade to better quality, body wash gel is empty, coffee machine seems like a long time nobody used kinda dirty.

Disneyland Hotel is always a magical place to stay like all the other Disney Parks hotels my family has stayed at. Front Lobby staff always make things so easy and they’re always so welcoming and accommodating. One thing I wanted to point out was one staffer who clearly just works there expecting tips. Edward Chavez helped my family with their bags and not only was rude “I thought you guys were ready, but you’re there just taking pictures” and then expected a tip to the point that he provided his Venmo account to make sure he was compensated. What a blemish in what otherwise is typically a great experience at a Disney Parks hotel.

Great value for money! 👍🏻 The place was spotless, and the kids absolutely loved playing in the water. We really appreciated the spacious room and the bathroom's separate wet and dry areas. We originally booked for three days but liked it so much that we extended our stay. There are also plenty of restaurant choices nearby, all within a five-minute walk.

Although the hotel doesn't offer a shuttle bus to Disneyland, it's conveniently located nearby, with an Uber ride costing around $15. Valet parking is quite steep at $45 a day. Inside the room, the towels provided were rather dirty, and the bed setup was quite strange, with an excessive number of layers. To top it off, the front desk staff weren't particularly welcoming upon check-in.

In general this hotel is acceptable for the price range and consider how old this property is. There are two main complains about this hotel is the sound insulation and safety. Basically we heard all the noise from the hallway including next door who open and close the door, and shower, etc.. In addition, the gap of hotel room door between the bottom of the door and floor is big. While we stayed there, we concerned if someone could use tools to open our room door thru that gap.

The hotel's location was perfect. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay very enjoyable.
