Nice, clean place with an attentive and friendly staff. Clean and modern vibe. Has a bar/restaurant within that has good food, and a surprisingly good Angus cheeseburger and fries plate that my wife and I really enjoy when we stop by. We also book a room there for my senior age mother when she visits----that is an endorsement that speaks... More

I was in Irvine for business and stayed here for 2 nights. I had previously stayed here and like the hotel so I stayed again for my current trip. The rooms and service are all above average. My room was always clean when coming back from a day of work. Breakfast is served in the morning and was also very... More

I was in Irvine for a weekend event and booked the Holiday Inn for my stay. I couldn't have been more pleased. The hotel appears to be new and everything is clean and fresh. The room was nicely appointed, beds very comfortable, and plenty of convenience outlets for your electronics. Since I was only there to sleep, I didn't use... More

This was a last minute trip made a quick booking without any problems. Was rated 3 stars but I would say 4-5stars for sure. Family with kids is good but seems to be more a business hotel. Hotel is nice & clean modern new. Right off the freeway. Outside you can here the freeway noise but once inside nothing. The... More

I spent 1 week in Holiday Inn Irvine Spectrum and found that the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The rooms are neat and comfortable, wireless internet access from the room is a plus for any traveller, business or leisure. The restaurant meals were pretty good, though one or two items were a bit to salty for my liking.

We stayed two nights while visiting town for a wedding. Prepaid price $86 and I wouldn't really want to pay more. It's perfectly clean and well maintained but if I were to spend more I would probably look for a hotel with a bit more space. I had a tiny wave of claustrophobia coming off the elevator and walking down... More

Quite different from the usual Holiday Inn. The very modern decor and layout made for a pleasing experience. The room was clean and comfortable, the restaurant and bar were adjacent to the check-in area. Had breakfast and a dinner here both high quality and reasonably priced. I particularly liked the booths in the restaurant where you have your own TV... More
