I booked thru Hotwire and ended up getting 2 rooms here. Based on my research of the property before we went, I set my expectation low (I had unpleasant experience in the past with HI chain). This hotel should be rated lower than 3-star by Priceline/Hotwire, but that's just my personal opinion. I feel somehow they purposely give Hotwire customers... more

The beds, pillows and shower are the best at this hotel. Loved the "pillow menu". Lounge was nice though a little pricey. Pool and spa area was very, very nice. Second floor room was a little noisy with the sound of the elevator heard through the walls. Front desk staff was very helpful. Breakfast that came with our group rate... more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn costa mesa in Dec 2007 for 1 night. The hotel was decent, with free wireless internet and a coin operated guest laundry which came in useful for me. No free breakfast. Free parking available Room was ok but there were some smell. It smells like the hair cream - brylcreem....which was quite unpleasant to... more

Location is great for something in the centre of south LA and close to Newport beach etc. But beware. The property exudes the early 1990's feeling all over again - it has not been refurbished for years (or if it has, the housekeeping staff are doing a terrible job). Unclean, un-organised and smelly would only be a couple of nice... more

At a Hotwire rate of $62 a night, this turned out to be a great deal and a great base for a long weekend getaway to explore the beaches of Orange County. It's right off the 405, "technically" within walking distance of South Coast Plaza, a variety of shops and restaurants, and less than 10 minutes from the piers of... more

I booked this hotel via Hotwire because rooms are very expensive this time of year in the Anaheim-Costa Mesa area (I guess due to summer vacations at Disneyland). So, I rolled the dice and hoped that the 3 star hotel they offered was decent. I think of most Holiday Inns as 2.5 stars rather than 3, and this one was... more

I was reminded of this hotel as I was making plans to travel to the same area in the near future. I made reservations through Priceline but I won't take the chance again with this hotel.Having been to this hotel several months ago I still haven't forgotten the experience. We stayed here over the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. The location... more

When we first walked into the room, my wife noticed a smell like pet urine. It's a smell we're somewhat familiar with when we house-trained our dog a while back. It was obvious the carpet had been recently cleaned. After we had unpacked and ready to go to sleep, we smelled the stench on the comforter of one of the... more

We liked the Holiday Inn. The location was great. There is a mall right next door, with all kinds of places for entertainment and dining. You are literally only a block or two from the Orange County Performing Arts Center, as well. In short, it is a fantastic location. The hotel itself is more like a Marriott or a Hyatt... more
