Costa Mesa Inn - Newport Beach Area

The Costa Mesa Inn's write-up versus the truth is almost like a National Lampoon vacation movie. We didn't see the renovated rooms, but don't accept one of the old ones that isn't remodeled. The floors, walls, ceilings and closet areas were a mess. Their photos lie! The rooms DO NOT have irons or ironing boards, or hairdryers as shown in the list of amenities. No breakfast, no Newspaper, no business center. The pool and spa areas are a non-functioning wreck. Where you check-in is a mess, furniture is piled up and separated by a curtain perhaps hiding what was the business center. We were "upgraded" to a room with a kitchen that was a disaster. The refrigerator was too large for the regular space so it was in another corner under a window covered with cardboard and they had to hook it up with an extension cord. In the morning we were invaded by ants. The place inside and outside looks like no one cares. The housekeepers were nice. It is in a great location.
