If your in the area for business stay here. The hotel is small but the rooms are clean and the service was great. This Holiday Inn Express location is close to plenty of good food and only 3 miles from the beach. It also includes covered parking and their standard full (free) breakfast.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn after an exhausting dive liveaboard, only for the day, whilst waiting for my late afternoon flight. I was recommended this place by my transport driver as they offer last minute, stand by, day rates – I ended up paying US$75, which I was fine with. The room was great: two queen size beds, with...

Hotel had a good location near the freeway. Parking is a little tight when the hotel is full. I checked in late at night and the front desk guy was very friendly and helpful. The elevator smells stongly like a machine shop (oil and metal smell) and was very rough riding. The room I had was kind of small. The... More

Dear Kat&John, We appreciate your feedback of our property. It is pleasing to know that you found our location to be convenient. However, I deeply regret that you found your stay to be less than satisfactory due to the condition of the room that you were given and if the odor at the elevator displeased you.

We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Disneyland. Can't beat the price with free wi-fi, free parking, free breakfast and just a 10 minute drive to Disney. Room was clean and spacious with microwave, fridge, coffee maker, and wet bar. We were on first floor which was a bit noisy from upstairs neighbors. Breakfast room was small and cramped,... More

Looking for a two night stay to watch the Christmas boat parade and be near to the coast, this hotel saved me about $20 a night compared to the Newport Beach HI Express on PCH due to free parking, and a lower overnight rate. It is on the boundary between Costa Mesa and Newport Beach and the short drive to... More

The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly. I had gotten two rooms, one was a Deluxe room. The two rooms were identical in size and amenities. Only difference was that the Deluxe room had a King bed; the other room had two queens. If I were to do it again, I'd save the additional $28.00.

A nice, quiet, clean Hotel. Comfortable room,plenty of work space as well. Close enough to get anywhere fast, but far enough to stay out of the mess. Minutes away from the coast. 5 minutes away from John Wayne Airport ( Orange County). Plenty of food close by. Front Desk very courteous and professional. I stay at Holiday Inn Express everywhere,...

This hotel was not originally a Holiday Inn Express. It was another chain hotel that was bought and remodeled. I recently posted a stay at a different Holiday Inn Express hotel that like this one was purchased from another chain and remodeled...that one was not a great experience. This one though in Costa Mesa was a huge and pleasant surprise!... More

I was happy with my stay, as this property was really up to the Holiday Inn's standard. Courteous and friendly staff, hot breakfast continental plus, free parking, free WIFI, so everything for a one-night stay was there. I think this property actually had a very good looking exterior. Actually I had been looking around the area as there were plenty... More
