Top Downtown Costa Mesa Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"We were thoroughly IMPRESSED by how beautiful this hotel was! The staff was great at check-in and if we needed anything. We didn’t get a chance to try out their breakfast but we didn’t see a lot of people dine here. We took a Disney trip and their shuttle service was great ($7 / adult for the whole day). They have two amazing pools, pickle ball courts, fire pit, cornhole, basketball court, ping pong table, and other games for kids! At check-in there’s also a kids section where they get to enjoy a movie & play with toys / books. We can’t wait to stay here again!"

Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort

8/10 Good

"Was a great stay. Even though breakfast buffet wasn't included in the stay we had to pay $17.50 per adult and $8.50 for kids 3 and up it wasnt worth it and had to eat it at the restaurant couldnt take it to room. Wish there was more options to pick from. Not worth the money for the buffet."

The Viv Hotel, Anaheim, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room and hotel smell amazing, it was clean and proper. We had very minimal view (2nd floor) but got to see some of the Disneyland fireworks. Was not aware of the resort fee but I guess it cancels out with the $20 food and beverage credit they give. The staff was not available when I called downstairs, no one picked up. The beds were very hard not hotel comfortable level. Overall beautiful place, room and pool area, comfort and attentiveness could be better."
