Review of Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa Newport Beach

This was the best US hotel I have stayed at, providing high quality and genuine friendly service. I have stayed at many US hotels in numerous visits over the years. For me this was the best I have ever stayed at offering good value and a high-quality service. The hotel reception staff could not have been more helpful going out of their way to help on several occasions. The hotel courtesy bus service worked very well, with a really helpful driver. The room was of good size, neat, tidy and with appropriate space. The hotel restaurant was extremely good. It offered a wide range of food on its menu with good size, but not overly huge portions. The food was excellent, tasty and good value. The serving staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. It represented much better value than nearby restaurants. I was happy with everything

Verified Guest October 2026

Writing this review feels a little like disclosing the location of a secret fishing spot, or an undiscovered restaurant of extraordinary quality. The Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa amazed me. It has all the hallmarks of a 5-star luxury hotel—except the price! From the beautifully appointed, inviting and spacious lobby seating, to my spotlessly clean, modern room, the hotel felt like luxury accommodations. The front desk team was friendly, efficient, and always helpful. The proximity to John Wayne Airport is very convenient, and I heard the front desk staff actively assisting arriving and departing guests to take advantage of the hotel's airport shuttle. I had already booked a rideshare when I phoned the hotel upon arrival, and they offered to send the shuttle immediately, even though it was after 9 p.m. In every way the hotel left me not just pleasantly surprised, but truly gratified and happy. I will certainly be back!

​Ayres is always our go-to brand in Central and Southern California, and this Costa Mesa/ Newport Beach location is fantastic. It’s reliable, beautifully appointed, and convenient to freeways across Orange County. When visiting family in the area, we love having our own space here—it’s comfortable, quiet, and delivers that genuine, hospitable feel of being right at home. Another wonderful stay!

Tripadvisor Guest September 2026

The Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa was the perfect home base for a wedding at the Lyon Air Museum. The room was comfortable and quiet. The shuttle service made our travel simple. It is conveniently located to shopping, the beach and John Wayne. I highly recommend.
