"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."

Costa Mesa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and updated. Staff member we encountered was very pleasant and took care of us immediately. We did not have any issues with the room- it was clean and neat. Bed was comfortable, pillows were a bit stiff, but not horrible. The only real complaint was the hum of the air conditioner. Otherwise, would stay here again."
