Sonesta Simply Suites Irvine East Foothill

2.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very Good, (1001)
"The room was nice and clean other than the little bit of sticky substance on the nightstand that would not come off. You also do have to pay to park at the hotel which is very strange to me since you’re already paying to stay there. Also, check the expiration on the food in the lobby before purchasing. Got a few things one night and 3/4 of them were expired by a bit. The front desk lady (forgot her name) but she was very nice, welcoming and informative. "
