Just a few minutes from Balboa Island, about 45 miles southwest of Los Angeles, Fashion Island Hotel earns decent reviews from recent guests. For starters, visitors adore this hotel's location, since it puts them within walking distance to numerous restaurants and shops. Then, there's the staff – everyone from the poolside waiters to the manager receives compliments for their politeness and attentiveness. Lastly, amenities like the pool area and gym are said to be in beautiful shape and make for excellent diversions, according to past guests. However, some visitors note that the decor in the guest rooms felt more generic than unique, and that the beds could use new mattresses. But despite the less-than-inspiring decor, the accommodations come with complimentary internet access, LED televisions and balconies. Should you crave a bite to eat, you can enjoy Southern California flavors in an alfresco setting at the Oak Grill.

Irvine Marriott is a 4 star hotel. It has a 4.5 overall guest rating based on 105 reviews.

Rubbing elbows with John Wayne Airport less than 20 miles southeast of downtown Anaheim, the Duke Hotel Newport Beach offers red-eye fliers a place to hang their hat in style. But previous visitors are quick to warn that you will pay considerably more here than you would at other nearby hotels of equal caliber (especially for valet parking). For more particular guests, the extra cash might be worth having access to the pillow-top mattresses, Keurig coffee makers, flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms found in this Marriott outpost's guest rooms. Or, Marriott Bonvoy members can use accrued points to pay for rooms. The hotel also houses an outdoor pool and a 24-hour health club, but if you're in need of some extra rejuvenation following a long flight, consider making use of the spa. The facility provides a wide variety of massages and skin treatments. Should a bout of hunger kick in, head to one of two on-site restaurants.
