“Comfortable elegance”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

We loved staying at this hotel. The rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. The beds are perfect with a mountain of soft pillows to sink into. The breakfast buffet was much more than we expected and delicious too. We will definitely stay here again.

“Family get together”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

Always comfortable, customer oriented, and wanting to make everything a great experience! Restaurant offers hot breakfast. Easy to get around from this hotel.
Staff were very helpful, providing information about local travel, and accommodating our request to be on the ground level.

“LastTime”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

We stayed at the Ayres Costa Mesa many times about 10 years ago and considered it our favorite "Get Away." At that time, we would have rated this hotel equivalent to any 5-star hotel anywhere. The "raised" Queen Anne style beds were so inviting when you opened the door to the room (they matched the decor of the hotel), they gave free drink and appetizer coupons at check-in; and there were fresh, gorgeous apples everywhere you could think of to take at any time of the day. Now, the beds have been changed to those that you would find anywhere in any hotel (boring); not more free coupons; and the apples have been changed out for cookies at the check in during the day.
The staff was pleasant and helpful (gave really good restaurant recommendations). The room, however, had an unpleasant - not fresh - smell to it and once we got into the bed between the sheets, we immediately began itching. We eventually pulled the top sheet up and slept on top of it which helped a bit but the scratching had already created several sore areas on our bodies. It was very late by the time we went to bed and had to get up very early so we chose to stay in the room for the night despite the itching. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone without a thorough check of the room (bed) and do not plan on staying there again.

Dear Diane -

Thank you so much for your candid review of our hotel. While I am pleased you found the service welcoming, I do apologize for any guestroom issues. We are adamant in our desire to provide guest with comfortable and clean rooms, so what you describe is unacceptable. I have already taken appropriate steps with the Housekeeping Team so insure against this in the future. And while we no longer offer a Manager's Reception with drinks and appetizers, we do offer a substantial complimentary breakfast that most guests find very appetizing. We would be very sorry to lose your patronage and hope you will reconsider staying with us in the future.

Sincerely,

Susan O'Brien-Moore
General Manager

“Lovely Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

We stayed at the Ayres while in town for our daughters rowing regatta. The staff was excellent from the first phone call to make the reservations all the way up to checking out. The hotel was lovely, clean, comfortable, easy to find, and more than we could hope for. We will stay here again and will recommend it to others.

“Beautiful Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

This was our second stay with our kid's rowing team. This hotel is wonderful, beautiful and so comfortable. Love staying here, just wish we had more time to luxurate in it. On this trip the only unfortunate thing was my room was not ready when I got there at 3:10 pm. I wanted to get checked in before the team got there and ended up waiting for 30 minutes for the room to be finished being cleaned. I was unhappy about that, but the room was very clean once I got in.

Dear Darcanfot -

It was such a pleasure welcoming you to our hotel. How wonderful to know that you found your stay so exceptional. I do apologize that your room was not immediately available to you at our normal check-in time. There are sometimes delays due to late check-outs and higher occupancy. I am pleased this did not sour you on our hotel and hopefully we will be able to welcome you again soon.

Warm regards,
