It’s a good place; however, sometimes you have to becareful with the rooms. The carpets could be wet. I had that issue several times.

I travel to the OC Hilton sporadically on business. It always has impressed me as a top-ot-the-line hotel with excellent accomodations, services, and amenities.

No free parking anywhere around the hotel, expect to pay $50 dollars to stay overnight. They charged me for using self parking when I never parked in their parking lot. I parked in another place to avoid the 50 dollar overnight fee. I had to tell the receptionist that I never parked there. What kind of service is that? There are no amenities in the rooms unless you would like to pay a premium even for a bottle of water. Save your money

What kind of hotel doesn't have complimentary water bottles in the rooms? Or a microwave? And $30 for a self serve buffet where the server who only brought you burnt coffee stands hovering 12 inches away from you watching to see how much of a tip you're going to give them? And when a mistake is made on the bill, the manager promises to make it right, but then doesn't. I'm sure there are better places in the area.
