HR Irvine offered limited breakfast menu (3 choices) but they were tasty. Ham sandwich was a slightly bigger McDonald's breakfast muffin but was good. Burrito was surprisingly good so that will be my recommendation.
Globalists get 1 main item out of the 3 choices, 1 cold drink and 1 hot drink. Depending on the employee, you can get 2 cold drinks if coffee is not your thing in the morning but some employee insisted on must grabbing a coffee on a different day.
You can get a bakery item instead but only 1. So it's either a croissant, cereal or burrito but this is also dependent on the employee as some try to match the overall price and some insist on item count.
One day the employee told me Globalist breakfast only applies to the Globalist him/herself. Didn't try to argue with him and just told him to charge everything to room. As expected nothing showed up during checkout.

Didn't have any parking lot gate issues. It was smooth for me.

Was told completion is expected by 1H `24 so I think it will get better as Regency Club and other amenities open.

Overall good stay and would recommend staying here.
