MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

10/10 Excellent
"This property is a diamond in the rough, so to speak. Its an older property but has so much charm. It is both a hotel and an extended stay. Also it is very family friendly. The rooms have been mostly renovated - the bathroom was not but it was acceptable. The property is clean and the grounds are really pretty. So much green. Other than a soccer team staying there - young kids with their families being rowdy at the pool, it was quiet overall by bedtime. Pool is small but fine. There's a nice little sitting area around the pool. There were only a few small things I would point out: the TVs are quite old - at least mine was and it didn't have a remote. Annoying but not the end of the world. It must have gotten lost. Parking is very tight and the lot itself is wonky - not sure how else to describe it, just drive slowly. :) One elevator was down during our stay which happens but there was another close to our room that worked. Breakfast was not a buffet - they plated it for you and there wasn't a variety. That said it was okay. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Wrapping up here, I'd stay there again."
