Hmm.. I'm having a hard time finding rooms at anything in that area that isn't, well, I wouldn't go so far as to call them "dirt bag" hotels, but they all seem pretty old.
What are the "nice" hotels in Orange County? Any ideas? Other than that Montage place (which is admittedly, a little over-the-top as far as room prices go) I haven't found anything that seems modern and nice.
