Top South Coast Plaza Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach West

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the staff was friendly. Parking was easy although pricey. There were plenty of walking distance food options too,"

Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I chose Avenue of the Arts because my daughter lives in the Avenue of the Arts apartments, so we could visit each other without having to drive. The hotel truly lives up to its name—it has a wonderful artistic feel, and the decorations are beautiful. The location is extremely convenient, and self-parking is right next to the entrance. I didn’t get a chance to dine in the restaurants, so I can’t comment on those. The guest room was spacious, clean, and bright. The bed was a bit too soft for my preference. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely go back."

Sonesta Irvine John Wayne Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first stay and it was great. Super clean and well appointed room. Friendly and helpful staff."

The Westin South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa

Residence Inn by Marriott Costa Mesa Newport Beach

8/10 Good

"Great rooms for a good price."

Vagabond Inn Costa Mesa

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my stay. Only problem was the ice machines were not working. It was ok the mini fridge helped a lot."

SpringHill Suites Irvine John Wayne Airport/Orange County

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast service team was also pleasant and helpful. Facilities staff allowed me to borrow a screwdriver which I appreciated. One of the rolling valet carts was broke and beyond use. I informed the weekend front desk staff that it was unusable and a safety hazard. When I returned at the end of the day Sunday , they had put it back into circulation without fixing it. I had to repeat the concern to the weekday staff (Monday AM) who did have it fixed. The elevator floors were very dirty and not mopped/cleaned throughout my 5 day stay."
