Top The Observatory Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Costa Mesa Orange County by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Conveniently located."

Vagabond Inn Costa Mesa

10/10 Excellent

"Muy accesible todo y amables"

Sonesta ES Suites Huntington Beach Fountain Valley

8/10 Good

"Hotel was great for the most part. Bathroom quite dated with rusty tub but room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was great and well supplied for 4 of the 7 days. When the older gentleman working the breakfast was there it was fantastic. He kept everything full until breakfast closed. And was very friendly. The other three days had 3 diff workers. They let the food run out and one day when we showed up 20 min before breakfast ended the lady had let everything completely run out. No eggs or bacon or sausages or hash browns or pancakes or yogurt etc. She was playing on her phone in the kitchen and she said She didn’t want to make anything else because breakfast was basically over. Several people came and left after they saw everything was completely empty. We asked her to make some more and She eventually made a few hash browns and a few sausages and pancakes. Horrible work ethic. However the rest of our stay was great."

Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place"

Residence Inn by Marriott Costa Mesa Newport Beach

"nice penthouse"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Costa Mesa / Newport Beach

8/10 Good

"I was pleasantly surprised to see the room had a refrigerator and a microwave. The property was clean and the room was comfy. I did not like the noisy neighbors. Someone was yelling and bamming on a door in the we hours of the morning. We were awakened several times to loud talking and bamming on doors. There needs to be more security patrolling the premises and watching cameras. I didn't feel safe"
