Best Hotels near North Star Beach, Orange County

Overall, okay. You get what you pay for: a relatively clean but basic room. The AC was loud but functioned well. Wifi functioned but was slow/spotty when streaming. Bring your own conditioner because they only provide shampoo and soap.

This hotel is conveniently located to many restaurants and a Target! The room was spacious, bedding was clean. I noticed the individual sofa was a bit dirty from the arm rest. In the restroom, there was a lot of small human hair. The elevator and hallways of the hotel were very stuffy. The lobby restroom was not clean.

The room is spacious and bright, tidy and hygienic, with a wide view. The bathroom has shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and towels. There is no toothbrush, toothpaste and slippers. The hotel has a paid parking lot, and breakfast is available for an additional fee.

The Viv is the most beautifulest nicest hotel I've ever seen. Everyone that worked there was extremely extremely nice. I would definitely stay there again.

This hotel had so many great reviews, but we have stayed here twice, and have had HORRIBLE experiences both times. We are globalists and used points to book. I booked online using the World of Hyatt app, where names of other people staying in the room are added to the ”notes”. I was staying with my aunt and uncle while my husband and mother in law stayed at another hotel where we also have points. Edward at the front desk was rude and unhelpful when my aunt and uncle arrived before me and attempted to check in. He accused them of lying and said he can't see notes on reservations from his computer, and told them that having their names in the notes section meant nothing anyway because ”anyone could hack in and add names.” They also had a printed copy of the reservation with them, so obviously they should have been allowed to check in. I tried to call from the car while driving to meet them, to let Edward know they should be on the reservation, but he wouldn't help and said I had to call some 800 number to have a rep add their names to reservation. Well, I was driving a rental car in traffic, so this was not possible! It felt like he was intentionally trying to make our experience inconvenient for some reason, which was so sad and disappointing. If he was trying to do everything he could to help, but unable, that would have been okay, but he was just unnecessarily RUDE and completely unapologetic or willing to do ANYTHING to try to help, which is why I'm writing this review, and it was also embarrassing for me as a globalist trying to let my family stay in my room with me. When I finally arrived to check in, my aunt and uncle were sitting on the curb outside because they said they felt uncomfortable in the lobby with Edward glaring at them. I checked us in, and Edward was still unapologetic and rude. We are usually upgraded as globalists, but we were not offered this either. The room was fine and clean at least. Also, globalists usually receive complementary parking, but when we checked out, we were charged for parking. I tried to call the customer service line, waiting on hold for 38 minutes before being hung up on. I also tried to use the live customer service chat through the app, but after 41 minutes, no one ever came online. I finally reached the hotel directly, and the general manager, Terry or Kerry? was rude and said the charges were valid unless the reservation was ”redemptive.” I wasn't sure what she meant by that, but I'm done with this hotel.

The hotel is one of the worst in my friend's stay in a US hotel. Originally, the room rate was paid in full in Ctrip, but on the day of staying at the hotel, 50% of the room rate was deducted without any notice. Then my friend found out that after the negotiations with the hotel, the hotel was immediately returned. But the next day, the hotel not only failed to restore the 50% of the house price, but also 50% of the room rate. Later, Ctrip helped communicate with the hotel, but it still repeatedly withheld 100% of the room rate on the day of leaving the hotel. I have never seen such a hotel without integrity.

We stayed at Staybridge Suites in Irvine for 3 weeks when we moved into the area and it was everything we hoped for and more. The spacious rooms, full in-room kitchen, laundry room, pool, and other amenities all made our extended stay comfortable and pleasant. But the best part of our stay was the amazing staff that went above and beyond to solve any issue and make our stay even better. Jorge, Fara, Sandra, and all the other staff members - thank you for your hospitality and professionalism.

The hotel is very clean, shopping and eating around is also very convenient

The location was very convenient to Disney and Knott's Berry Farm. There were many shuttle buses of Disney, too and was saved. Photos of the shuttle bus schedule are from late November 2022. I walked to Fullerton Station for about 30 minutes, then went to Union Station from there to visit Little Tokyo, etc., but there weren't many trains in the daytime, so it took more than 2 hours, so it was inconvenient, so I mainly focused on Hollywood sightseeing. And fullerton lodging is not recommended. As for the security around the hotel, there were homeless people sleeping around the hotel, but I didn't feel particularly dangerous. The room was very spacious, but the curtains and carpet were too old and dusty and not very clean. Waffle of breakfast lined up for around 30 minutes, but was delicious. There is only a coffee maker in the room, but I didn't use it because it was dirty. However, I was able to bring out coffee and juice in paper cups from the breakfast venue, so this was the best point of this hotel.

For our Disneyland trip we used this hotel. When we arrived everyone was very friendly but was a bit disappointed that my only two options for parking was self parking for $25 and valet for $30 per day. As this was our first time going on a proper vacation. Guess I should have read more carefully because I also thought it said breakfast was included like a continental type but no it just says breakfast available and it can get pricey. The food is good though. This hotel is about 9 min away from the Disneyland parking lot which was great. There are stores and restaurants near by. The view is limited and if wanting to have a Disneyland view this is not the place. We were only able to see the tower and a few lights at night. But over all very comfortable, clean and friendly.
