Multiple accessible facilities including pool entry, business center, and restaurants

On-site convenience store and gift shop

Cons

“AC Hotel Irvine emphasizes modern design with practical rooms, a lively pool area, and a well-equipped workout space; plus, its pet-friendly policy and access to nearby restaurants are definite advantages. The valet service adds convenience, even though it comes at a premium, and the location puts you close to both the airport and suburban amenities. In my opinion, it balances style and function well for a traveler in Irvine.”
