It's on the backside of the airport, so not a whole lot around -- a Benihanas on the same block, but couldn't see much else.

When I was staying there (intra-COVID) I think I was maybe one of a handful of guests there -- it was at 10% occupancy at the time. The few people I did see seemed to be holing up to take a flight out the next day. I imagine it may be picking up a bit with folks traveling more now, but with business travel still down my guess is it'll still be pretty empty.

I rather actually enjoyed the breakfast. It's pretty standard HR business hotel breakfast, but the cafe staff was super nice and the few things I had tasted good and as a Globalist they comp'd me everything I ordered. Nothing to write home about, but probably on par or better than most other breakfast options in the immediate area.

But agree - not really worth 12K points and not really worth seeking out unless there's something that requires you to be in that neck of the woods.
Thanks for the information. It’s a quick weekend trip with something near the airport so I figured this would be the most efficient use of time rather than fighting lax traffic and flying into there. If it was a longer stay id definitely consider a nicer property.

On a related note; anyone have any experience renting a car off property and having it be delivered here? Silver car (audi dealer) is super close by; would be convenient and they’re running a nice 30% discount here. Wasn’t sure if they’re still running their airport shuttle from SNA
