Rates are based on length of stay. Without corporate discounts, they range from $84 per day for at least a seven-night stay in a studio to $148 per day for the penthouse with two bedrooms.

The Residence Inn expects 80% of its clientele will be business travelers. After all, “we’re completely surrounded by corporate headquarters” such as Toshiba and AT&T;, said Robert Palme front office manager.

The 112-suite property is in the Irvine Spectrum business district.

Marriott’s operates other Residence Inns in Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Orange and Placentia.
