Costa Mesa

I had a decent stay and the location is great. This is a good low budget hotel and has a lot of good things, pool, jacuzzi, and the rooms have mini fridge and microwaves. I had to switch rooms upon my check in because the sink did not drain at all from a clog, the new room was better but it had a toilet that didn't flush very well.

Meh

Expected a cleaner, more up to date and well-maintained location than it was. Instead it was run down, poor condition, a little smelly, bizarre outdated and jury-rigged air conditioning system, beat up fridge, hard to trust bedding. Also, either the neighborhood was off or the clientele was. I seemed like some oddball locals were using the premises for various needs and there were broken down cars in the lot. The fact that in-n-out uses their parking lot as a drive-through spillover area was also not fun.

I enjoyed my stay. Room was not cleaned properly. There were cigarette holes in the bedsheets, the coffee pot had leftover coffee in it, toilet did not look clean, floors were still dirty (I walked without socks and feet were dirty after), the room smelled of cigarettes, bath tub only had half a bath mat, fridge wasn’t plugged in … it was not the best stay but for the price and location it was okay. I’m sure I could have had them fix everything but I was too tired to complain. Just some things to be weary of if you plan to stay. The pool and hot tub are awesome and there are rarely people there so it is an awesome place for a quick getaway.
