Really enjoyed my stay! The rooms were quiet and comfortable, the hotel bar was fantastic, and the room service was excellent. Loved the thoughtful little amenities—they really made a difference.
The service provided by the staff, from the front desk to valet parking and restaurant waiters, was exceptional, with a remarkable level of attentiveness.
We came here mainly for the view while visiting OC, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! The service was great, and we had a table by the window where we could watch the sunset.
We ordered the small shrimp plate and scallop plate. Honestly, both portions were about the same size, which made the price of the scallop plate feel a little funny.
The salad tasted good, but it seemed like they just dumped it straight out of the box without cutting or preparing it much.
