Hyatt in the OC
Stayed at the Hyatt Irvine a couple of weeks ago. Very nice, reminds me of Meridien. Swanky bar and swankier rooms. Very tasteful and modern. Several of my colleagues had gift cards to the Hyatt and they were gracious enough to let me have them. (Thanks guys!!) Came in handy for the minibar munchies etc. Didn't have time to take pix as I was dealing with a family crisis. Take my word, it was nice. Location was bleh but the hotel offers shuttle service to South Coast Mall.
