Residence Inn by Marriott Costa Mesa Newport Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This is about twenty minutes away from the Balboa Peninsula, and a better price than other hotels closer. Our room was the two story condo with two bathrooms. It had plenty of lighting, and was clean. Our 4 teenagers and 2 puppies loved the space they had to play, and my husband and I loved having a separate bedroom with doors for privacy when the kids wanted to stay up later than us. The kitchen was stocked with a lot more tools and things than other inns we have stayed at. It was roomy, and the sink was even big enough to wash our small dogs after the beach."
