I believe that's more of a resort though. Four Seasons typically have lush surroundings and upscale room product. That helps a lot
And the dining there had some fair draw though I saw reviews were quite divided.

I'd hate to do the math on how many branded properties there are in OC area that cater to business and leisure travelers
and belong to a global brand/ loyalty program with a strong following
How do they compete with a somewhat dated no name property next to a freeway?

If it hadn't been a Hyatt I'd hate to even think of what their numbers would have been. Not even a free night would have gotten me into the place
I'll never step foot into it again as long as I live unless its somebody I do business with
Perhaps they know a lot more then we do
