Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach

Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach

8/10 Good
"Staff seemed friendly. Hotel was nice and clean. It was up a small hill so it was very cutoff from walking anywhere easily. There is food across the street but you would have to drive to get there safely. Breakfast was pretty decent. The coffee tasted off like the filter needed replacement. The rooms were comfortable but there were very odd noises both days and nights. Sounded like someone drilling or doing construction and it was constant. Other than that I would stay there again"
