Great little hotel with excellent price
Mateen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

My stay was fine for one night. The area is busy and right off the highway. And the furniture is mismatched but for the price, I think the stay was adequate.

This is my go-to place to stay when I’m in the area. It’s walking distance to the fair grounds and close to the shops bars and restaurants in Costa Mesa.

2/10 Poor

ZERO STARS

I sent an employee for a 1-night stay while he was working in the area and he was harassed by the clerk at check-in and ultimately told he could not stay, although my company had already paid for the night. He ended up sleeping in his vehicle instead. I would have given ZERO stars if I could, for paying for a hotel then making my employee leave.
Howard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Repeat whenever I'm in Costa Mesa.

I've stayed here many times now, and love this place. The family who owns it is great. It's clean, comfortable and inexpensive. A.great no frills place to stay fir the weekend close to amazing food in Santa Ana and Costa Mesa, close to Newport and Laguna Beach, close to South Coast Plaza for high end shopping. Overall, this is a great spot.

Jeremiah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An amazing stay! No issues or problems at all and the staff was amazingly caring and always immensely helpful.
Joe, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

A very no-frills stay for just myself on an overnight business trip. It was basically a clean room and bathroom. No extras but that's why it's inexpensive. If I was with another person, whether one of my kids, a girlfriend, etc, I wouldn't stay here. I can take the lack of elegance but I wouldn't ask someone else to.
Michael, 1-night trip

Great showers and tv options
Daniel, 1-night trip

Stayed here for OC marathon. Motel is walking distance to fairgrounds. Adjacent to freeway & associated noise. Room was clean, appliances in working order. Bring your own shampoo & conditioner. No coffee maker but 1 block from Starbucks.
