Top South Coast Plaza Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Irvine John Wayne Airport

10/10 Excellent

"One of the nicest places I’ve stayed in a very long time. Spectacularly clean and easy to get in and out. Pet friendly… helpful staff"

Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable bed, extremely clean room, professional and friendly staff, beautiful garden setting, and centrally located both for driving and walking. I love that I can walk 1 block to Segerstrom and 2-blocks South Coast Plaza for arts, shopping, and food or drive 10-minutes to the Newport Back Bay for a morning walk or run along the nature preserve. Amazing restaurant (including room service - get the molten chocolate lava cake!) with attentive staff. I am a repeat customer for trips into OC, both business and pleasure. I've stayed here at least 4 times in the last two years by myself and with my husband and young adult daughter. Highly recommended!"

Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach

6/10 Okay

"This is our third stay at an Ayres property, this location wasn’t as modern, clean, or welcoming the one in Lake Forest. We stayed in the ‘suites’ building, which may be more dated than the main building. Everything felt old and ready for a refresh-including the carpet, heavy velvet drapes and slippery jacuzzi tub/shower. Road, upper floor and airport noise was notable in our room. Bed was okay, king suite was huge, but really a waste of space. Staff was fine-not super welcoming, perhaps because I booked with Expedia? I would try a different hotel if I find myself back in the area again."

Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed the hotel. I do not like rooms that are close to the hotel HVAC system. Room 672 looks out over the parking garage & the hotel HVAC, I would def request a different Side of the hotel to avoid the and food smells from hotel kitchen blowing into the room. other than that, I would definitely stay again. I am super picky about hotels and prefer hotels with balcony to get fresh air."
