Great hotel all around

I've stayed here 4 times and it has never disappointed. Great area - lots of dining options across the street and 2 minutes from SNA. One thing to note is that there is a very busy shopping center across the street - which is great for convenience but it also means early morning noise from delivery/garbage trucks etc.
