Below are reviews of the city of Placentia, CA from an actual visitor's perspective.
The fact that I was able to visit with relatives.
We stayed at your hotel because we had a medical appointment for early morning. Staying at your hotel five minutes from Kaiser, certainly helped to reduce the overall stress. Your hotel has a very nice reception area and staircase to the second floor. Your rooms were equally impressive. I would be pleased to book into such a hotel in any place in the world!
Many options for dining nearby.
A trip to Newport Beach.
Clean and fresh!
I chose this hotel because of its proximity to Fullerton where my daughter lives,
