Old vintage buildings worth making a short visit just to see what used to be an agricultural icon way back when. We consistently stay at the La Quinta Inn there because the prices are so great & theyre pet friendly. We like that they made the most of the original soy bean silos by converting them into hotel rooms instead of tearing everything down. Staying at that hotel is kinda like an interesting museum visit. We also enjoy the nearby Knowlwood restaurant that has a great Cobb salad & delicious classic hamburgers.

Love it, brings back memories of when I was younger, back in the 60s,70s and 80sDoes where magical years in Irvine.Irvine Country Store was my favorite place to be and take lots of pictures. I do miss all thatWestern style. Irvine has grown and it continues growing all around, I still go sometimes and visit the neiborhood at Burt Rd. And Sand Canyon.

Friendly, clean rooms, clean outside, and felt safe, and relaxed during my 4 week visit.

It was a nice place to stop and rest on my way back from LA. It seemed to be closed down but still a nice place to park and eat...

Nice but a little noisy. La Quinta motel is getting old

Saw my new dentist and loved her office which is a historical building. Looking forward to going back.

Really cool being in the Silo part of the building. My room is in a silo!!! The old historic Bean producing tin can looking structure has been renovated to house some shops & rooms by LaQuinta by Wyndham. During WWII in the 1940s this was the largest bean producing company. How cool!!

Its very old looking with modern to it.

Stayed at the La Quinta for two days, the town is spread out but freeway access is good.

They have a couple plaques of what that area used to be im the WWII era which done local enthusiasts might find interesting. Other than that, there is a Dennys and a Jack in the Box and the area reflects what you would expect considering that. I wouldnt stay or visit here

Dennys is consistent!

I stayed at la Quinta inn Friday night 6/13. Very comfortable and clean room. Corazon was working at the front desk when I checked in. She was very welcoming with a great sense of customer service . I will definitely make future reservations at this hotel. Thanks Corazon for being a valued part of my stay.

Sorry, this is a nice place to stay.

Knowlwood Burgers, The Best!. Loved the Atmosphere and they played the replay of the Super bowl on the big screen, loved Pinball too. Great food! Great Service!

The inn we stood at was clean and big. The whole city was nice

The walls were made of concrete when there used to be a grainery there. This makes it quiet inside and it was very comfy and roomy. I would stay again if in Irvine.

Old bean storage elevator made into hotel (LaQuinta Inn). Cement walls & sealed lights retained, but modern facilities built into rooms like any hotel. On National Historical Registry. Huge park facility within mile or so, including indoor Ice Rink & other recreational activities. Many restaurants of any type u r looking 4 in the area, 3 close 2 Inn. Shopping mall within easy driving distance on surface roads.

Nice relic from the past

The price is reasonable... Dont stay in older half, windows dont open. They do serve breakfast.

Great place to shop. Rest. Relax and take in the nice scenery especially during the holidays.

Did not meet their usual standards. The management is great. I think we hit them on a bad day. Their food is usually better.

Awesome buildings, historical into everywhere. Very interesting with spots to hike everywhere. Best to visit during fall or early spring.

A nostalgic piece of Irvine. Historical buildings have been relocated here so it feels like an older time. Eat at Knowlwoods for good food, great service, and value pricing.

This was a pretty cool place to stay. We needed a place that wasnt going to charge our card so we could pay with cash, and unlike most, they worked with us. The free breakfast was excellent. There were many choices to choose from. On the negative side though, the elevator was sketchy, sometimes pushing the button two or three times before it would work, and it was really, really, close to very active train track. Interesting fact, the wing we stayed in used to hold over 16 million pounds of Lima beans.

Quite area and plenty of parking. We did have a couple of problems with the shower leaking and the front desk not being helpful when we asked to switch rooms.

A true Californio experience with the sweetness of Disneyland and hospitality of a Rancho!

The food here was wonderful!! Very neat decor inside and out. Family friendly

Fun and Historic beautiful town

I really love this historic area and building..the building that is now part of La Quinta Inn off of Sand Canyon in Irvine is my FAVORITE place to stay in Orange County because the room is part or a converted old grain silo used to store grain that was on the train that goes through the area. The walls are thick cement that look really cool and keep the room cool in temperature and quiet inside..the outside of the building still has all the hooks and pulleys from loading grain..its very industrial looking. I absolutely love it!

Nice place

I absolutely adore the historic parts of Irvine

Fun place to explore. Safe

Stayed there for one night it was good Had some waffles in the morning would come back if in the area

Maybe Im missing the point but THIS IS NO LONGER AN ATTRACTION! We were looking for something to do between a wedding and reception so thought this would be interesting. We laughed until we cried - there is NOTHING there. The LaQuinta converted part of an old building to rooms and the rest may been cute shops etc but they are gone. Its now a restored building with a marketing agency and a martial arts studio and the only other car in the lot looked like someone doing some office cleaning. This will now be brought up by my family for years to come since I suggested we check it out. If this location on the map is supposed to direct you to restaurants and shops, its not working. Dennys and Jack in the Box are not unique dining options. And thats all we saw.

Knowlwoods is a solid spot in pre fab Irvine. Great casual spot for lunch with friends.

Awsome food. If youve never been. Definitely a great place to stop and eat.

Good tasting food will come back to taste the hamburgers for sure

I had no idea that a very famous Latino composer and singer (Joan Sebastian) considered Knowlewood hos favorite place to dine. Poster with autograph inside!

There is a hair salon and a dentist as well as a couple places to eat in the parkimg lot of LaQuinta. This is a quiet area very clean.

Had super at the Dennys.

Great selection except value for the price plus a nice atmosphere andconvenient location

Always good food and service and reasonably priced.

Knowlwoods Hamburgers still making good food in this historical landmark.

Great food. Love the ol ambiance.

Had a delicious breakfast burrito here yesterday hot fast and great tasting. Very kind staff also quick service and a positive attitude.

Old town is an old favorite of mine I love going there the ambiance really makes you feel like you belong. And the dining is pretty selective too.

The lobster was great! So was the service!

Classic old town environment ... need to appreciate the history of that area... good breakfast at Dennys

Friendly staff and clean rooms

Good service, family friendly, good food

Extreme traffic noise,worse at night.Rooms are clean and adequate..

Nice place to stay

Best Denny’s ever!

Cozy nook in Irvine with a beautiful scene

Building looks pretty well kept. Nothing much but an old building. Used by a couple of small companies. I was hoping to see a nice Cafe or maybe local shops. Bummer!

Great food quick service nice atmosphere

Good breakfast alternative to next door!

Service is slow. Food is good

Very interesting hotel inside refurbished bean silos. Get a room opposite the train tracks.

Great Burgers at Knollwood...give em a go!

Love the burgers and the ambiance!

Dodd is always good and service is as well

Go visit My Dentist Joe. Best dentist around. I drive up from San Diego just for him.

Huge waste of time! There isnt much to see. Just an old grainery without much signage and A tool shedconverted into a restau. Did not try the food today. Maybe another time.

Very nice the way its set up. Lots of fun stores.

Its where the Gracie Barra north America headquarters is! Cant go wrong. :)

Fun look and little shops.

Went here on a business trip. Very nice and close to everything. So many things to do after a long day. Plenty of places to eat.

I love this place

Love this place there is a lot of history

Kool place

Its a nice place to rest between shows.

Great decor and food

Coming to knollwood Burger its quite the treat TVs on the wall and as you walk in that has a old schooltruck and the statue of liberty sitting right in front of you when you walk in its quite the experience the food is good as well today we had pancakes and sausagewith hashbrown smothered with butter and syrup also their trademark for their delicious whenever youre in the City of Irvine come on down to knollwood Burger cross streets are 5 freeway and Sand canyon .

Nice cozy place, if you feel like eating a good burger or Mexican food this place is for you

Its bin very peaceful

Sad that the original knollwoods is attached to a Dennys with freeway overpasses all around. Breakfast is excellent. Irvine now is just an over developed community with no desirable qualities. Rat Race!!

Run down and dirty

Irvine is clean simple and great place to be

One of my favorite places

I came to Dennys to grab a quick bite to go and there is a big parking-lot. Easy access to restaurants

Nice. Real nice. Located in paradise

Small area filled with history. We stayed in the hotel that used to be a bean storage facility. It was a neat experience. I only wish there were more information posted about the history of the area. Also, the train tracks are literally mere feet from the room but fortunately Im a heavy sleeper and it never woke me.

The Knowlwoods in Santa Ana closed a few months ago. Other locations have closed. I miss the food & menu. I came in. They misunderstood I wanted Frisco Burger to go. I ate half there & took other half home. It is great it is still open location.

Fair place. I do not like the industrial look but the history was cool! And they allow pets...the most important reason I chose them for my stay over the holidays. Great staff.

Great flavor, staff is nice and parking is free on Sundays!!

Its a cute historical landmark. Great place to stay

So much fun and shopping

Cool old hotel La Quinta Inn and Suites is in old industrial building. Provides for some really cool rooms. Downside is the place is 10 feet from railroad tracks. Not quiet. Breakfast was good amd plenty. Easy on and off freeway location.

Clean employees very nice

Unique hotel. Grew up in Irvine. Impressed with its development.

Very good kids dental office. I can recommend it.

Liked the surroundings.

Amazing 27 My Birthdaaaaay , Free Gifts & Food!

The term Old Town is a bit of a stretch in this description. The restaurant Knollwood is awesome and worth stopping off freeway to eat here. Other than the restaurant, there isnt exactly the typical old town feel here

Beautiful area!

While still a historical site, due to the recent road construction and some remodeling there are more newer locations and let history. The post office was closed and merged with the newer larger down the street, older shops unable to maintain business and rent cost have unfortunately mitigated its allure. There are still some places holding on and I world still recommend swinging by, the knowlwoods had been there forever and alone makes the trip worth the drive.

Drive thru there weekday evenings home from work. Not so busy, really nice.

Great to visit.

Great business and learning centre , developed place .
