Hotels near John Wayne Airport, Orange County

The facilities are definitely up to the standard of a four-star hotel. The outdoor swimming pool and hot tub are beautiful at night, the breakfast buffet has fresh fruits, and the mattresses and pillows are very comfortable.

Had a family member at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo and this is the closest hotel to the hospital. It's a solid choice for the area where there are a dearth of hotels, much less decent hotels. Had a suite which was spacious with bed, couch, desk with nice TV (which could swivel for watching from bed) and a bar area with a fridge. The bathroom was large. The bed was fine. I was on the first floor overlooking the back parking lot, but that was fine because I wasn't there for the view and the back parking lot seems little used, so there wasn't noise with people coming and going from the lot. I see that some have complained about overhead noise and advised a third floor room, but I didn't hear any noise from above -- perhaps the room above me was empty, however. Four points instead of five because the blackout curtains weren't perfect and let in some light around the edges of the curtains and I'm sensitive to light. Other hotels I have been staying at lately in Orange County do better on the blackout curtain front. Another demerit for the awful complimentary breakfast. No breakfast potatoes like most places which do complimentary breakfast and the pre-made scrambled eggs were just plain disgusting -- had some weird oily chemical taste. The blueberry muffin was also awful. There are no actual mugs for tea or coffee. Only these very flimsy paper cups where you have to carry the cup with a napkin because unlike Starbucks cups, for instance, the cups aren't thick enough so that it is not uncomfortable to carry a hot beverage with your bare hand. Even worse, the lids don't fit the cups properly so it's impossible to completely lid the cup if you are carrying the cup back to your room, as I did. Because the lid did not fit properly and I was juggling to open my door with my door key, I ended up spilling some hot liquid on myself. If I stayed at this hotel again, I would not have breakfast in the hotel. Order delivery from Uber Eats or go out to dine. Even an Egg McMuffin would have been better than this food. Be aware that on weekends the place seems overrun with ill-mannered children (many in sports uniforms -- so I surmised that they were being taken to tournaments in the area). The children crowded the breakfast buffet area and didn't realize that you are supposed to take your food and move on so others can, in turn, get in to take their food. The kids were also running through the halls. I would guess the hotel is more sedate during the week, at least during the school year.

This hotel was great for our stay here in California. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was extremely comfortable after a long day out whether around Los Angeles or a 17 hour day in Disneyland. The fridge was great bigger than we expected. We managed to store lots of bottled water and a few 2L bottles of juices with all our yoghurts etc for the mornings and during the day. Fridge is a great size for trips to Target which is across the street less than 5 min walk. Bathroom and other parts in the room we couldn’t fault had everything we needed for our stay to make it comfortable. As we left they were re decorating the halls, apart from all of this we wish there was stairs to each floor instead of just getting the lift up as we were in the 3rd floor room 355. Stairs would have been nice inside the blocks as there is only a fire exit stairwell to leave the hotel you cannot get to your room via stairs. Also great for parking a hire car as this hotel doesn’t charge for overnight parking too one of the reasons we chose this as our main location to go back and forth from saving us $350/$400 compared to competitor hotels around LA.

Very good hotel, but the breakfast is too Western, the kids are not used to it, the kitchen is fully equipped, great

The surrounding area is safe, the service of the guy with the braces at the front desk is super enthusiastic, and there are small cakes as a gift at check-in, which is actually warm

This is a very pleasant hotel in the heart of Whittier. We were in town for a wedding and our host suggested this hotel. I'd never been to Whittier and was pleasantly surprised - it's in a very charming neighborhood with lots of restaurants, bars, shops and a movie theater within a short walk. The hotel is clean and pleasant, and our room was good - spacious with a comfy bed, bathroom was fine, good sized mini fridge. The tub seemed like it had sunk a little and water was pooling but otherwise it was fine. Nice patio with a pool and hot tub. There's a bar in the lobby but we didn't take advantage, as there's a good liquor store across the street and some fun places just up on Greenleaf. No free breakfast or even decent lobby coffee but there are multiple good options nearby for breakfast including a bakery across the street and the fast food restaurant across another street. There's also a farmers market on Fridays not far away. I don't know if we'll ever be back in the area but I definitely would stay again.

The K mattress & pillows were very comfortable. The room was very spacious & quiet. Cynthia from front desk was very accommodating for my request & had a great stay. The staff were friendly, courteous & efficient. The gated covered parking came in handy for the storm & I appreciate they have 3 well functioning luggage carts for guest use. Gateway Towne Center is within walking, 1 block to Best Buy, Marshalls, etc.

The suite is nice, with two bathrooms and a living room with plenty of space. The living room has a sofa bed, the sideboard has a sink, the bathroom in the bedroom has double basins, and the shower room has plenty of space. It is very suitable for families with children. Parking is free at valet parking, which is rare and highly recommended. The location is southeast, so it is very convenient to drive anywhere, suitable for groups with cars and family travel.

I have written about this hotel chain various time before and I will continue to do so only because they are the Best Hotel Chain. I look at them as a business partner because of them taking care of me I’m able to do what I need to with my clientele and that to me is worth more than anything else. In business you are only as good as you are able to keep your clients happy and Hilton makes it super easy for me to keep my clients very happy. Thanks again to all the staff at this Doubletree in Rosemead location for all your courteous and professional help. I’ll be back real soon

The hotel was absolutely fantastic! The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Their incredible hospitality made us feel like valued guests. We had a wonderful time at the hotel. The amenities were excellent, but it was the staff's warm and genuine hospitality that truly made our stay unforgettable.
