5. Newport Bay Inn

East Side Costa Mesa

"This is a no-frills, basic motel run by a family that lives on site. The owner is very responsive to any requests for extra towels, key problems, etc. It’s right next door to a full-size grocery store. It’s freeway close to all sorts of great Orange County spots. I recommend staying at this reasonably-priced place so you can spend more of your vacation $ on adventures, shopping, and dining out rather than on an expensive posh hotel. Also, the beds were nice and firm."

Top East Side Costa Mesa Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable beds, very clean and renovated rooms 👍🏻👍🏻"

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The cafe has some of the best coffee we ever had in a hotel. I know it comes from a machine but the coffee is some of the smoothest, non bitter Joe had in a long time. The rooms were huge. Plenty of space for cribs/rollaway beds/multiple suitcases/strollers/scooters. The bathrooms are on the small side but usable. Wish the shower curtains were the curved ones but not a deal breaker. The free shuttle to the park was great, very convenient. They also have EV Car charging available. They are the slower plugs but you check in, plug in, sleep and when you get back from the parks that first evening, car is ready to go. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. The was a gem Of a find and we plan on coming back again."

Ramada by Wyndham Anaheim Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"My review is solely my opinion. I felt the hotel was clean and the rooms were had were newly remodeled. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. If I had something that was a little downside, it was the parking. I just wish we could just take up a parking space. As we came back to the hotel late at night, parking was a double-car space only. But I have to say that there was always someone there to help you park, you just had to leave the key behind."
