Holiday Inn Express Costa Mesa - Costa Mesa

wonderful

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My second stay here was as good as my first. 3 C's: clean, courteous, comfortable. The wi-fi reception was excellent -- no dead spots, no slow connection, no cut-outs. Breakfast is outstanding for this class of hotel.

Upon arrival, my reservation was incorrect after booking on hotels.com. I signed in and reserved two double beds for 3 adults. I was informed that that's only a request and with hotels.com it will be the best available at the time of the reservation. I explained that we were 3 adults and was helped to resolve the issue by the wonderful front desk staff. […] Like many of the hotels offered on hotels.com, this one is under renovation and had a few inconveniences. I think that hotels.com should note this online so we could have made another choice. Read more

Though this facility looks over a mobile home park, and is in a lower middle-class neighborhood, it still maintains its class and professionalism. Being right next to the 55 Freeway, one would be concerned about noise all night. Not so. This is a freeway that dead-ends at Costa Mesa, so things really shut down after the commute traffic. There are hundreds […] of hotels in the 10-15 mi radius, but this one provides the most bang for the buck. As the little clerk at the receptionist desk said to me the first time we stayed here, "You gotta try those pancakes for breakfast. They are the best." Well, that may be a little over the top, but they are VERY good. Quite an array of food for the price of the room. And ya gotta love the fact that there still is covered free parking at a hotel. Room was very comfortable; shower and grout clean and white; carpeting relatively new; the no-smoking room DID NOT have any hint of smoke that was merely masked over with room freshioners. If you can get along without a 5-Star convenience, then this is a great place to rest your body after a nice day shopping, sight-seeing, or playing at the beach. Read more

We got in late and next day was road trip to Palm Springs. Overall, a good value as the internet, parking, and breakfast are free. We checked into our Marriott for the 5 days of our 7 day vacation with $28 per day parking, $14 internet, and no free breakfast. Holiday Inn was good value for days when you don't plan on being in hotel. When we checked […] into the Marriott, it was refreshing to be back in luxury hotel. There is no substitute for the quality of rooms and views in a nicer hotel property. You get what you pay for but HI is a good value to hang your hat for a night. Read more

The hotel was about 17 mins from Disneyland and 8 mins from the Coast. Two mins from a grocery store. This is clean comfortable hotel. The breakfast is excellent. The beds are comfortable. Free cable HBO. -the negs. Parking lot is small (park in back and enter through that door or take the stairs) NO pool (but no biggie the beach is just down the street) […] No fitness center (for the price I didnt care) Only one washer and one dryer ($4 bucks to washer and dry if you need it). We had no issues while we stayed there. Great value. THIS IS NO frill hotel, just a clean neat place to stay with a great breakfast buffet! Read more

It's definitely not the Ritz, but if you are looking for a hotel close to Newport beach, you can't go wrong with this hotel. The staff was friendly, the room was clean. The breakfast bar was a bit lacking, but hey, it's free. I'd definitely stay here again if I was ever in the area.

Decent, mid-level stay! My only real gripe was that you can only open the window about 3 inches. Other than that - simple, quiet & comfortable.

Pleasant one night stay.

It was so bad we moved hotels and lost our money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was okay, the breakfast room lady was a little bit rude and impolite, I'm pretty sure that would be our last visit to that hotel. Other than that it was alright.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

In some ways this hotel was better than our night before at the Hyatt in Newport Beach. Free parking in the basement garage was very nice(compared to $20 outside), room was actually more updated with better shower, etc. location was not as beautiful, but we were there to sleep, not to hang out.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything was perfect. It was very clean place like a 5 star hotel. Stuff were so nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Decor was nice, room was quiet and comfortable (except for the heavy walkers in the room above us). Breakfast was good. I'd recommend this hotel.

People save your money and stay at the Motel 6 on Newport Blvd. The rooms are the same!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room heater temperature control was faulty. On the first morning when I took a shower early (before 6 am), there was little or no hot water, next day it was ok. The maid did not fix my room during the day. Only the wet towels were picked up but nothing else was done.

Upon check in, I asked for a quiet room, which was given. End of hallway by exit door, not so much. Front desk gladly moved us & we were all set. Quiet night, no extra hallway noise or next-door noise. Bed was comfy & slept like a baby, which I never do in a hotel. Breakfast was good. Husband was surprised at what was available, from a basic cheese […] omelet with gravy, to cereal or make your own pancakes! Exe King room was large & clean & was an overall excellent stay & HIE! Thanks =) Read more

The room was very nice. I really enjoyed the breakfast which had a hugh variety of items and the attendant continuously made sure the biscuits, eggs and cinnamon rolls stayed hot. The only this I wish this hotel had was a hot top and pool; other than that it was in a great location and kept clean both in the lobby and other rooms of the hotel as well […] as the parking areas.

The HIE is exactly what it is advertised to be. It is a spartan facility. The rooms and facilty were clean and reasonably maintained. The staff was friendly. The facility is next to the California 55 highway. We happend to get a room towards the back and did not hear any of the street noise. My guess is if you had a room towards the front you might […] hear the traffic. The free wireless Internet was spotty. On one side of our room the signal was weak. On the other side of the room the signakl strength was very strong. You are a 1/2 mile walk from lots of eating, some shopping, and a movie theater. If you belong to 24 Hour Fitness there are two facilities close by. The included breakfast was good. You get fresh pancakes, cereal, tolerable eggs, muffins, juice, etc. For "free" I have no complaints. If I were in the area again I would not hesitate to stay here. Read more

It fit the need and was clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Dissapointed by an old hotel that needs urgent remodeling. I chose the hotel based on high evaluations by other guests, but is not what I read. Convenient but needs remodelling.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Staff was wonderful at this hotel. We arrived late and the woman at the desk was so nice and helpful. Rooms were nice, comfy beds. Breakfast was great, as always. Only negative was the pillows. Very lumpy.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The mattress sank in the middle and the sheet was so worn it had little pill balls everywhere that made it scratchy. We found a sheet in the closet and put that on instead. Not a great stay!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

it was pleasant

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was nice with a convenient location. The only disappointing aspect was the breakfast - it's served in one of the rooms and it's way too crowded for the number of people using it. There is very little seating in the room, so we took ours back to our room to eat.

Front desk was very helpful & courteous!!!

The hotel was right off the freeway which was convenient and I did not hear it ever. The price was good. The hotel clerk guy was very helpful and friendly. My room was clean and normal. The free breakfast was better than average, but still in the average range, but fine.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

There are no nearby restaurants. The room that I had smelled like someone had smoked in it (this is a non-smoking hotel). The deodorizer that the staff used was just as bad as the smoke smell. I purchased some Febrezz at the local supermarket. This worked. Everything was clean and comfortable. I would stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was traveling alone and felt very safe and secure. Would definitely stay at this location again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good location at a good price. Nice hospitality and solid breakfast.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Good value for the money. Room had everything I needed. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok. For free I guess I couldn't expect much. I like the fact that they do not charge to park. I would return here again

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

great, except for one ice machine on the 2nd floor for all guests. Empty most of the time.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were surprised that a “bargain” priced hotel could be so clean, fresh, and attractive. The room was spacious and tastefully furnished. The shower was particularly impressive. The breakfast was among the best we’ve ever encountered with bacon, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, fresh fruit and pastries, as well as a large choice of cereals and bread […] items. We will happily go back to this hotel whenever we are working in this area. We will also check out Holiday Inn Express hotels wherever we travel. Read more

My husband and I booked totally last minute for a little get away. Not looking to spend a fortune, just something clean and location was very important as we wanted to travel by beach cruiser entire stay. Hotel was satisfactory itself for a lower budget however, location not as expected. Thought we could ride our bikes at night down to Newport Pier […] but far to dangerous as it is on the main highway.......Luckily we found a great local restaurant that we highly recommend called "El Matador". Next time we will stay closer to the heart of Newport and upgrade hotel as well. Read more

The location was not completely ideal for my needs, but we made do. We only stayed one night. Breakfast was a plus. Clean room. Not enough towels, but requested more and they were promptly brought to us.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Loved the breakfast they served is the best I've had from a hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good room. The breakfast was very good too. Staff was freindly. Good location, near beach and other restaurants.

Very nice room - clean, comfortable with everything we needed. Would stay here again.
