While visiting relatives in Washington, we decided to road trip to OC for a few days. I’ve never visited before, and wanted to choose a known brand and highly rated on TripAdvisor. As others have said, the location is very good on the beach, and walkable to a small grocery store, many restaurants, and the Jolly Roger amusement park. Plenty of Free parking. Pretty views from your room window. The amenities are good, similar to a Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare. Kitchen, kids activities daily, laundry room, indoor and outdoor pools, onsite Starbucks and decent restaurant. However kids are not allowed in the hot tub, which I have never seen at a resort before. We didn’t need housekeeping, but our other interactions with staff were pretty good. The rooms have some wear and tear as others have said, but the furniture and beds were fine. The rooms are a little weird with large and heavy doors (might be hard for younger kids), and a very high jetted tub (it would help to have steps for guests to enter it). The balcony is big and nice. The WiFi is sometimes slow, and I’ve never had that happen at a Hilton before. I don’t think we will visit OC again (not really our scene), but I think the Hilton is one of the better choices there (the other hotels are old also and kind of motel style). However for $650/night in June midweek, hilton is far overpriced. The very luxurious resort Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki is $550 for a similar 1BR timeshare. The Hilton OC is not luxurious, so I don’t know why they’re charging lux rates. Overall OC is more expensive than I would have expected, with tourist trap prices for a lot of things like food and entertainment. But it’s not a prime destination like Cancun or Hawaii, so I felt ripped off.
