Pros:

Great room, great location, many nearby restaurants in a short walk nearby.

Cons:

Parking was $30 in a garage across the street - inconvenient and too expensive. Valet parking of $40+ not appropriate for this type of property. AC can do better here.

ALS UNITED ORANGE CO. “WALK AGAINST ALS” EVENT - Room #640. Great Location, East Access to PARK PLACE
Pros:

I was lucky to receive a redemption voucher (Thank You, AMEX and Bonvoy) for one night stay here at AC Hotel Irvine. It’s located right next to a residential complex and PARK PLACE, where the annual ALS UNITED OC Walk was held on Saturday morning, November 1st, 2025. I checked in after work on Friday, Oct. 31, as the front desk staff laid out plenty of yummy candies as it was Halloween night. “Dominic” at the front desk checked me in, and was extremely friendly and supportive. He got my request ‘spot on’ right, the top floor (6th) with a nice two double bedded room with a nice view. ACE Parking handled the valet, and allowed me to stay where I was parked in the Handicap area in front overnight at a rate of $30 instead of $42, due to my mobility issues. Self Park was in a separate lot further away, so I appreciated their service. The access to room was easy, and the room itself was nice, clean and modern. I got the 4pm checkout per Bonvoy Platinum as I would have to come back to the room to desuit and pack after the walk ended at 1:30pm. Being in fursuit for the walk meant I would need to come back to desuit and shower before packing to leave. Location was ideal, I could suit up in partial and simply walk up the pathway onto the PARK PLACE premises. I loved it, because I didn’t need to move my car, and I could dress in my room for the most part, instead of doing it in the fursuit tent at the walk. I kept my bearhead off to put it on at the tent. It was much more relaxed and it worked out great. The walk itself was fantastic, as we honored our late friend and Furry Tony “Dogbomb” Barrett with 10 other Furries. We raised $7500 this year - in a challenging year for fundraising, it was quite satisfying. After we completed the walk and enjoyed the lunch provided by the organization, we said goodbye to our friends in TEAM TONY and along with my friend Adam (who came Sat morning at 6am and stayed in the room for part of the time) we both walked back the pathway next door to AC Hotel. Not even four mins went by, and we were back in the lobby. I will MOST DEFINITELY return to AC Hotel next year before ALSUOC “Walk Against ALS 2026”. FIVE CLAWS UP HIGH!! Thanks for reading my review of “AC Marriott Hotel” in Irvine. Bear Hugs - Joe G. Bear

beautiful with a few quirks
Pros:

very designy. excellent location. many restaurants and coffee within a 5 minute walk. my only complaint is the design looks great but misses in a few key functions; the sink splashes all over your clothes, the black out curtains don't end in a pocket so you get a two inch beam of sunrise, and a bunch of other little stuff that prioritized design over function (ie seating). other than that I would stay again... but Marriott needs to mature in the design department.

Comfortable Hotel in Great Location
Pros:

Great location and comfortable hotel.

Cons:

The staff initially screwed up the billing, charging me twice for the room. Another member of the staff straightened out later.

Pros:

I've stayed here several times with work. This last visit I was a little frustrated because I was charged for a water when I had not purchased one. When I called to have the charge removed I was told that it would be refunded back to my card but it never was.

AC clearly doesn't stand for Air Conditioning
Pros:

Room cleanliness and subpar AC unit made thee stay here not worth the cost. It's in a great location, but I value a clean cool room over many other things. I was greeted with a large toe nail as I stepped from my shoes bare foot on to the floor under the edge of the bed. While kind enough to clean the room again, the damaged was done. The AC seemed to turn itself off at night and the room became warmer than I expected. Thus a sleepy, sweaty, unhappy work day started.

Pros:

Your front desk clerk, Hayden, was so polite and friendly and welcoming. What a lovely way to be greeted when I arrived. The parking attendant, also very friendly and helpful.
I will say that the air conditioner in my room was very loud when it cycled off and on so that wasn’t great during the night.
Other than that it was a great short stay.
