Hotel La Quinta Inn & Suites Irvine Spectrum (Irvine, USA)

Several guests love that the La Quinta Inn & Suites Irvine Spectrum is a piece of history as it is a bean and grain mill converted into a fabulous hotel. Kids especially thoroughly enjoyed the rustic but modern warehouse and loved all the pictures of the history that the building holds displayed in the lobby of the hotel.

Guests found the staff of the hotel warm and friendly. They liked that there were eateries within walking distances. Two restaurants were across the parking lot which guests said were great for casual dining. There was a fast food joint across the street as well.

Many of the guests appreciated the amenities of gym and pool of the hotel. The gym is in the basement and guests said that it was clean, private and climate controlled with everything needed for a workout present. The pool was spotless and guests enjoyed spending time in it.

Several guests had issues with the noises heard from their rooms. Trains pass next to the hotel, there is loud freeway noise, trash trucks are all over the place and there is noise from cars when parked in the parking lot.

Many guests complained that the rooms were dirty. The biggest downside in some rooms was the leaky air conditioning units which dripped all night and soaked part of the floor. The wetness also caused a bad odor in the rooms.

Though guests appreciate that the hotel is in a reformed grain silo, they were disappointed that the place is so rundown. Elevators were old and in need of repair, there were ants everywhere, paint was peeling off the shower ceiling, carpets were stained and the rooms smelt of the silo that it originally was.
