NOISY NOISY NOISY. Do not stay here if you plan on sleeping later than 6 am. I turned on the fan, used earplugs, AND my iPod, and still heard road noise. I am not a picky traveler, but this place is the WORST. I wouldn't pay 40.00 a a night for this place, and the total charge was over $100 for one night. Stay at the Super 8 in Santa Ana - lower price, and much quieter, same amenities. Also, internet access was so slow that I couldn't even use it...

Due to a flight delay we were in a pinch with no place to stay as we arrived from Chicago into Los Angeles. It had been a 28 hour Christmas (due to time changes) by the time our weary family of five stumbled into the hotel after midnight. Robert was working and began going out of his way to make our stay what we needed. Since we would only be staying four hours to sleep before our next flight, we just needed beds to crash in and this hotel met the need. Granted, it was not exactly plush, but the bathroom was HUGE and the room spotless. Robert arranged a wake-up call for 4:30 for us and called until he knew we were up. He had also arranged for a cab to pick us up right outside our door. We were very grateful for his smile and I'm not sure if we would have gotten the same personal care somewhere else.
Great rate for a good night's rest.

We stayed for 2 nights at this standard La Quinta property, located just northwest of the intersection of the I-405 and Harbor Blvd. This location is excellent for shopping at South Coast Plaza, the mega mall is about one mile east of the hotel on South Coast Drive.

I’m a gold member of the La Quinta Returns frequent sleeper program (10+ nites per year). I would give this location an average to slightly below rating for the La Quinta chain. The building and interior is somewhat dated, the rooms are standard, ours was clean but slightly smaller than the usual La Quinta king room. The best thing about our stay was the $62 AAA nightly rate, a bargain for this geographical area. Be warned that the hotel is about 50 feet from the northbound San Diego Freeway and the traffic noise is loud and incessant. The noise can be somewhat masked by running the digital wall-thermostat room air conditioner/heater.

The free breakfast was standard, but no waffle machine like many of the La Quinta locations. There is a Hooters restaurant adjacent to the hotel, but we chose to eat dinner at the food court at the South Coast Plaza. We didn't have an opportunity to use the shuttle to/from the nearby airport.

The La Quinta Costa Mesa/John Wayne Airport is a good choice for Orange County accommodation at a low cost. There are certainly nicer hotels in this area, but few to none with lower rates.

This hotel used to cost $ 69.99 per stay , wich was a good deal for a clean mid standard hotel, but lately the price is rise to 89.99,
for the amount you can get a better hotel,
