“Excellent business hotel”

Five stars as a business hotel. Not in the same league as five star resorts and pleasure spots but one of my favorite bus hotels. Max at front desk very helpful. Thanks for upgrade.

Five stars as a business hotel. Not in the same league as five star resorts and pleasure spots but one of my favorite bus hotels. Max at front desk very helpful. Thanks for upgrade. Bed comfortable although pillows little too mushy. Urban hotel but facing the small lake is serene and pretty. Best bus hotel decor. Interesting rugs and floors and furniture. Not your typical bland generic business hotel feel. 7 minutes from John Wayne. 22 minutes to Lido area for good eating like Rye Goods and Malibu Farm.

This is an eclectic boutique hotel in the center of the office park buildings of Costa Mesa that is part of Marriott Bonvoy. It is within walking distance of the Noguchi Garden, OCMA, concert halls and South Coast Mall. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We were upgraded to a sixth floor "junior suite" which had a small anteroom before the bedroom and bath. It was all very cozy with wood floors and somewhat dated 1980's decor. Everything was in good shape and functioning except for a weak shower head and small tub. It seemed quiet, but it was not very busy the weeknight we stayed there. No matter what direction you face, there seems to be green gardens and lagoons. With the tiki torches at night you can feel like you are in Hawaii and not off the 405. There is an attached restaurant and bar which is small but adequate. The bar can be loud given its small size. Three rowdy, loud guests made it unpleasant for us, and we left early to go to dinner. The plus with the location is the nearby restaurants. Water Grill and Vaca are on the next block and within walking distance. Self parking is $40 a night which is high. Charging your car overnight is another $40 which is ridiculous. Make sure you charge your EV before arriving. I would still prefer staying here over the nearby Marriott or W Hotel. The cost is reasonable given this is Orange County.

“Good but could be much better”

At the silver trumpet service, I was told I need to wait 10 to 15 minutes to sit down with my daughter when the restaurant was not full at all. We ate at the bar and Annie offered great service, but it was the dinner menu was extremely expensive ($47-56 halibut-lamb without accoutrements) and there… more

At the silver trumpet service, I was told I need to wait 10 to 15 minutes to sit down with my daughter when the restaurant was not full at all. We ate at the bar and Annie offered great service, but it was the dinner menu was extremely expensive ($47-56 halibut-lamb without accoutrements) and there should’ve been kids options. It’s a hotel restaurant!! the breakfast the next day was very slow but more options, again they should offer a small selection specifically for children in their portion size. My air-conditioning unit wasn’t working correctly, which should’ve been checked before I checked in. The hotel parking lot was $40 for overnight… I would expect this from Disneyland or Santa Monica right on the beach, but there’s free parking at the mall… get the AAA with breakfast but make sure you get your vouchers, and don’t upgrade, that takes off the breakfast option and isn’t clear (from my experience)
