Residence Inn Costa Mesa Newport Beach

Location: Highly praised for proximity to highways, shopping areas, and ease of access for car users.(based on 1 review)

The hotel was clean, but overall, it didn’t live up to the price. We ultimately decided to leave and stay elsewhere for the remainder of our trip simply because it lacked the comfort we were looking for. There were no ice machines or laundry facilities, and housekeeping only came every four days—which wasn’t enough to keep up with towels or trash. The outdoor furniture and amenities were not well maintained; the cushions were filthy, which was disappointing because the central fireplace area could have been a great gathering spot. That said, the property does have ample space for large groups to meet up. We sat outside with friends on a couple of evenings to play cards, and saw several other groups doing the same, which was a nice feature. Breakfast was free, but pretty mediocre. It didn’t start until 7:00 a.m. on the weekends, so we missed out a few days when we had to leave early. Storage space in the room was sufficient, and we appreciated the long, well-lit bathroom counter. In the end, while there were a few positives, the lack of comfort and amenities just didn’t make it worth the cost for us.

Based on my notes, the family included my elderly father, my 2 sisters, my elderly aunt, my niece and I arrived safely at the hotel in the afternoon on 31st May 2024 from Gallup, New Mexico via Arizona after a continuing road trip from first point, San Jose , California followed by Wendover, Utah ; Casper , Wyoming ; Mount Rushmore, South Dakota and Fort Morgan, Colorado. We spent 2 nights at the hotel before continuing the journey back home to San Jose, California. Firstly, one room could accommodate the 6 of us since it were spacious. It has 1 bedroom ( en-suite ) and a loft bedroom ( en-suite ) with fully equipped kitchen and 2 sofa beds which were convenient. Secondly, the free breakfast was more than sufficient with a variety of selection. It was a pleasant stay before returning back home to San Jose, California after a week - long road trip from California across some parts of the Western and Midwestern United States such as Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.
