"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 Orange County Fair and Events Center Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Costa Mesa Orange County by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"CAJP was perfect."

Costa Mesa Inn

8/10 Good

"The room very clean, the bed was comfortable and the television was huge. I was very impressed with the amount of channels available. Everything was good, the location was perfect and the parking is free. What more can you want."

Cozy Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was warm and welcoming, sincerely thanking me for my business when I checked in and again when I checked out. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. I didn’t have time to check out the pool however the pool are looked well maintained and I will try it the next time."

Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa

10/10 Excellent

"I thought the hotel was very nice and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful!! Our room was very clean and comfortable. We traveled all the way from Wisconsin and found California hospitality to be very impressive! My only complaint is very mild and might just be a Hilton thing (as I've not stayed at Hilton for a very long time), but I was disappointed to find that continental breakfast wasn't included. All food and beverage options on-site had to be purchased, and they were quite pricey, which kinda felt like a missing amenity most hotels have. However, there was a gas station across the street we walked to for most things, so that made it slightly better. With all that being said, it was a great stay and the experience was positive overall."
