Sonesta Simply Suites Irvine Spectrum

Overall it was a good place to stay. Clean and nice, but very old! We were provided a room not far from hotel entrance at main floor. It met my wife's disability a lot and as a matter of fact was designed for that matter. I recommend this place to my friends.

I stayed in this hotel before when it was Candlewood Suites. Since then the property was renovated, and probably they replaced the furniture. I had kitchenette room with microwave, stove and full size refrigerator. The room was very clean and the bed was great. The staff was more friendly than before. There is also a gym in the hotel with many machines, but I did not use that. So in general it would be a great value hotel for travelers, especially for staying for 2-4 days. There is also a nice paved walking/bicycle trail to enjoy.

The fact that it was very spacious,and the bathroom was big and handicapped equipped, not that I am a handicapped but it’s a nice feature.

I immediately felt welcomed as I checked in.. John was friendly, calm & efficient .. he accommodated my room request which added to my comfort level. I highly recommend this hotel for its quality staff, great location & very cozy & comfortable rooms.

Everything was very nice. However the elevator did not work and I was not notified ahead of time. There's also a $7 charge for parking, strange, as it's an open parking lot.
