Pendry Newport Beach
Beautiful hotel with a lively lobby and bar, nicely appointed rooms and an amazing pool and hot tub. The poolside shack is cool too and so are all the green areas. Some of the front desk staff were a little curt and some were super nice and helpful.

Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach
Great pool area and hot tub. Lots of restaurants within walking distance & easy access to freeways and airports. The plane noise is minimal and only happens until 10pm.

Casablanca Inn
The room was dark and the furniture was old and worn. The shower was great and the bed was comfortable. The balcony was nice. The manager was cold and unfriendly. He never even smiled. We weren't allowed to serve ourselves at breakfast. And menu options were very limited.
