Top East Side Costa Mesa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very exceptional, however the breakfast staff could have work. I witnessed multiple families including us having to wait over 30 minutes to be acknowledged."

Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"This Hyatt location is my stay of choice whenever I am in the area. Our experience during our last visit was outstanding. We enjoyed the bar and restaurant where staff were friendly and ready to help. Everything from the bell service to the valet service was excellent. Can’t wait to come back 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."
