Top University of California Hotel Reviews

Pendry Newport Beach

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff! Very noisy ambience. Loud music at pool! Sunday brunch was like a nightclub atmosphere. Loud music again. Not a great choice if you want a more intimate surrounding. Bar very busy! Many outsiders on property. Local crowd coming in to party I guess"

Hampton Inn & Suites Irvine-Orange County Airport

8/10 Good

"We stayed for two nights. The rooms are exactly as pictured, which I really appreciated. The water pressure in the bathroom sink was pretty low, and unfortunately, the shower pressure was the same. Breakfast was decent overall. The first morning they didn’t have omelets, but they did the second morning, and it was really good and filling! I’m personally not a fan of scrambled eggs, so I was happy to have the omelet option. I also loved that coffee is available 24 hours a day—that’s definitely a plus! They also have cold sandwiches available by the front desk, along with a nice selection of drinks and snacks, which is convenient if you need something quick. Would definitely stay again Overall, we had a good stay. There are a few things that could be improved, mainly the water pressure, but the amenities and convenience were a plus."
