Everything was great except the microwave was not working. Even though i asked them to.fix still not fixed. Not a big deal because i was barely in my room. But could be good to have warm milk in my coffee in the morning. Otherwise very clean.

The overall area where the property is nice and quiet. The room was nice and had a nice little kitchenette. The issue that my partner and I had was the we found a condom wrapper behind the reclining chair. I'm sure that it was missed by the cleaning staff, but that caught us off guard for sure. If you get a room the is clean, then you will be content with your stay.

Stove placement is Vertical, Overall Great Stay
Room was great to stay, one minor con I had the was the stove position. I just it was horizontal rather vertical. Other than that, I enjoy my stay!

The facility is smoke free now but I guess it used to be smokable so there's a smell in the room. We found a cap from the last guest in the room and there were some chips left on the floor next to the bed.

Quiet, clean and comfy.
Clean, well maintained, but older, casual suites that appear to have been designed with longer stays related to the nearby hospital. Feels like being in a small condo, with a few cooking items, as well as plates, glasses, etc. friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again for a night or more… quiet, comfy place without frills.

Don’t even bother going to this hotel, It’s disgusting, room has a stench of cigarette and musk and the tv was not working. I called the front desk and they refused to switch us room plan and simple. No sense of customer service or what it means to reach out for the customer.

Pay a little extra and stay elsewhere
I will not be staying here again. Our room had a strong fragrance of old/musty furniture. there was a leak in the middle of the night due to "rain" and luckily we woke up with enough time to move our valuables out of the way. there is a room right above hours so not sure how rain could have been the culprit. anyway, the furniture was scuffed, the a/c unit was very loud, our shower had not been cleaned properly(someone's long hair was left behind) and therefore, I don't recommend this place.

The Sonesta Hotel in Irvine smelled terrible. It is a pet friendly hotel. I ask the receptionist if they separate the rooms between pets and non-pets. They said no. The first room smelled like tons of Lysol spray was used to mask the smell of pet urine. My wife and I immediately got a headache from the smell of Lysol chemical spray. We went down to the receptionist and ask for another room. The second room smelled the same as the first room. We asked for a refund of the room, hotel management said no. We left the hotel and went to another hotel nearby. We forfeited our payment for 2 nights stay at Sonesta. Terrible experience.
