Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach
I really love the quality of the amenities here, especially for the price. The restaurant, pool, lobby, are all very nice and enjoyable. The room, especially the bathroom is a very nice upgrade over most hotels at this price point. 4 star hotel at the price of a 3 star, even some 2 star hotels!!! ...
