Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was exceptional. All needs were met before I asked. Location is great. Hard to find room service anymore post covid. Room service and food options were amazing. Staff waited until I left the room to tidy up and it was always appreciated upon returning."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Ana Orange County

8/10 Good

"Great property, clean, friendly staff! The only thing i disliked was the parking. It was hard to get through the parking because of large trailers, rvs parked there taking a lot of t he space. There was only 2 tight spots left when i arrived."

Residence Inn by Marriott Costa Mesa Newport Beach

8/10 Good

"The staff was extremely nice and the complementary breakfast was fantastic. The suite was very spacious. But, the property was COVERED in cobwebs and the room could’ve been cleaner (there was a long black hair in my shower when I checked in…). the shampoo also was completely, completely, completely useless (so bring your own) and they only gave us one bar of soap even though there were two bathrooms."
