Ramada by Wyndham Costa Mesa/Newport Beach

5/5 Excellent

Nice, clean and quiet

"It was nice, clean and quiet, offered continental breakfast... There was only 1 thing unusual for me .. any other place I've stayed before that offered continental breakfast... They provided with regular plates and utensils... Here they provided plastic disposible utensils and paper plates... Never seen that in any hotel I've stayed... But it didn't really bother me. "

5/5 Excellent

"This looks like a rather old property that they’re trying to keep nice and they are. It seriously needs some help in the room. Like the bed was super comfy. The pillows were too. This charging port area was wiggly and things wouldn’t stay plugged in the TV. I never could figure that out thank God for iPads the bathtub is kind of yucky looking. But I needed him close to Kaiser Hospital and this is the one I picked and it served my purpose very well. "
