10/10 Excellent

"Kitchen utensils"

Sonesta Select Laguna Hills Irvine Spectrum

10/10 Excellent

"Every thing was fine, except for the white flashing light, that shined all night the first night I had drove from Mesquite and got in about 6:30pm so needed sleep bad and could not sleep all night due to flashing white light all night. I complained the the morning guys and they said they would let maintence know. So I went out and came back at night and asked the gal if maintence fixed the light and she said no one said anything to her so I asked her to see if maintence would come then to fix flashing light and no one appeared to fix the light. So had to deal with the lasing light again but was so exhausted , I was able to get some sleep but not enought as woke up at 3:30am light flashing . Not good. Sandi Roberts."
