MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

8/10 Good
"Clean room. Plenty of amenities. The free breakfast was the best. It was not buffet styled but the kitchen did an excellent job. Good location near airport. The only thing i complain was the overcharge for a bottle of water at the gift shop near front desk ($6 for a tiny bottle). I had to buy since we arrived late and no bottle water in the room. That was really bad!!"
