Honestly wasn't bad. I was a little worried seeing the other reviews on here and yes it is a cheaper hotel so expect some scuff, but really for the price it was what I needed in a pinch. The beds were clean and bedbug free (I checked both mattresses and didn't see any sign of any). The bathroom was just fine, it did look a little old but think of it like an older apartment that's not been updated in a while. Everything else was fine. There was maintenance happening on one of the side doors but I was able to go in and out during the day time and they locked it up during the evening (probably for security). Otherwise the staff were really nice, I had no problems and had a comfortable stay while I was there for two days before moving to another hotel with friends closer to the Anaheim Convention center. I'd bunk here again if I was in the area and needed to be closer to the John Wayne Airport!

This is the place you send people you don’t like.The place looked down and dirty from the outside and the room they gave me smelled like pee and very strong.We changed rooms but it was the same.Had to sleep in our truck because we got out of there and had to wait for our check in at another hotel.

I stayed for nearly 2 weeks I'm still here currently, last day is the 24th. I really enjoyed my stay here the concierge was really friendly and helpful, was easy to get fresh towels when I wanted them, and since I did not have a frig or microwaver in my room i used the microwave and dining area in the front entry. it was peaceful and most of the other people staying here were friendly.

I’ve stayed here a dozen times, never had any complaints. I don’t know what was up with the floor this time around, but it was kind of dirty and the light over the vanity sink needs replacing as it was flashing nonstop before finally turning on.

The room had a weird stale smell to it, there was hair on the sheets and towels, the heater had this awful kind of burning smell when turned on, and the toilet didn’t seem to be the cleanest. I will say that it was quiet and there were a couple food places and gas stations within walking distance so that was a plus.

The property looked somewhat cleaned and maintained. It was unsettling to see a few people hanging outside the property that were high and smoking. One guy was walking around the vehicles and had his hand in his pants a few times. That felt unsafe. The lobby had a weird smell of mildew and there was only one person checking in guests. I went to check in but my room was not ready. That was disappointing considering check in time is at 3pm and they had a full cleaning staff from what I witness. The lady at the front desk told me it would be another 40 minutes to wait for my room. I came back in 20 minutes instead and somehow it was ready. The lady at the front desk also had a moody demeanor which is disappointing considering it’s supposed to be a place for friendly hospitality. The room itself was okay, it looked clean but well used. Some stains on the bed frame and paint chipping off the walls. Overall, my experience with the hotel could have been better but I basically got what I paid for. The previous reviews from others is what fooled me.

Bed was uncomfortable- there was a dip in the mattress that I couldn’t get comfortable in. Hardly slept. Bathtub drain looked dirty but when I looked closer it was flaking off and discolored. Room had unpleasant smell. I was a late check in having arrived at SNA from out of town and I was leaving early the next morning so I didn’t bother attempting a remedy. The front desk staff was the best part as they were friendly and check in/out was a breeze.

The only thing is that we didn’t have any shampoo, conditioner or lotion in the bathroom.

This is a basic, if u just need a place for the night and can rough it. Our room smelled like cigarettes, hence the 2 ashtrays that were provided in the room. Did not really look when booking. It was late and just needed to sleep. No amenities just the basic, towels and bedding. No carpet, which was good, it would've made the smell worst. This place could really be due for a complete makeover.

This motel served my purpose quite well. The staff were friendly and professional, the bed was comfortable, the room was huge (king bed), the room was relatively clean, but showing wear as expected for the price, the parking was convenient and security personnel were always around. Walls are thin, it's in the flightpath to the airport (earplugs recommended), and the gardners started at 7am. The nearby road construction didn't interfere too much with travel to and from the motel. I didn't use the pool, but it looked clean and inviting. Maybe next time.

2. Ants in restroom.
3. Does NOT have daily house keeping
4. A lot of questionable people walking around.
5. Dogs allowed in nearby rooms so their is noise.
6. Bathroom is not kept clean. Found random hairs on floor and bath towel.

For the budget, this place is really cool. Some of the people living around the area were not as friendly as a neighborhood spider, but overall the stay was pleasant. The bed was comfortable, and when you open the door to the outside balcony there is a really nice smell in the air that feels refreshing. The environment was quiet and relaxing, which made the stay even better. Overall, I think it was awesome and a good value for the price.

The hotel is outdated, there are cracks everywhere, and the security door on the side entrance was broken and no key was needed for entry. Upon arrival, there was a person relieving themselves in the pet area, which made an awkward entry. Which didn't make us feel any better when said security door would not lock. The halls had a funny smell, as did the room. There was no refrigerator, hair dryer, microwave, or usb outlets. The sheets were clean at least, but the beds were not super comfy, and squeaked loudly. I read lots of reviews of cockroaches, but did not see any thankfully. The light in the bathroom took 5 mins to actually turn on, it would flicker until it came on, like poltergeist. I did not step foot in the shower as it looked super cracked and dirty. Also, the walls are super thin, so early morning we heard dogs barking, doors slamming, footsteps down the hall, and people yelling. I have stayed at other motel 6's that were not this bad. We needed a bed to sleep in and it did just that. I would not bring my kids here. The area is relatively nice, but the person on the grass with pants down really took that vibe away. The staff was very helpful and friendly though. They were probably the best part of the stay.

Great stay at Motel 6 Irvine Airport. I travel a lot and was surprised by how big the rooms are. Spacious, comfortable, and very clean.

I had a second-floor room with a balcony overlooking the pool, which was nice even in winter. Free Wi-Fi, cable, parking, and coffee in the mornings. There’s a pool, Jacuzzi, laundry room, plus ice and vending machines. The property feels safe with 24-hour security and is well maintained.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Pets stay free, which was a big plus for my two dogs. Affordable spot—I’d definitely stay here again.
