Top Downtown Costa Mesa Hotel Reviews

Clementine Hotel & Suites Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the free breakfast in the morning, such a large variety of hot food and lots of tables, very nice area. We appreciated the free parking, the room was nice and clean, bed was a little bit too firm but it was manageable. We would stay here again and also loved being close to the Garden Walk."

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Hotel Lulu. My daughter and I stayed 4 nights to visit Disneyland. It’s about a 10 minute walk. The room was just enough space for us, the AC in the room was magical as the weather there was incredibly hot for us. We needed an item from the front desk and were pleasantly surprised when Lulu the robot delivered it, we’ll be talking about that for awhile! The hotel itself was showing its age a little but the cleanliness was fine. The in room coffee options were not the best but the Starbucks next door is a quick 2 minute walk. We felt safe there and every staff I encountered was friendly and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again considering the location and price point."
