Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club
The property was amazing.. problem was the resort was inundated with a large number of babies, infants, toddler s and adolescents. It was like visiting a daycare center.. kids in pool with diapers, dogs running around off leach and kids jumping in spa like it was a pool.., parents were feckless!

All was good. Just a point to notice, you have to pay extra for parking.

Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach
Very clean. Bed was comfortable. My only complaint is that all of the pillows were down, and they gave me a sore throat due to allergies.
