“Hated the Noise”

La Quinta Inn Costa Mesa

May 8, 2008

We asked for a room that would be quiet and not facing I-405. The lady at the desk said "can you hear any traffic noise in hear" and proceeded to give us the room that was literally 20 feet away from the freeway. When we got to the room, it was noisy even with the AC and TV on. We also had used cups next to the coffee pot and a used bar of soap in the bathroom. I will definately not stay here again!!

“Not up to my standards”

My company put me up for 2 months here while I found a place. Wish I'd found a place sooner. Sometimes the room was cleaned, sometimes not. On more than 1 occasion, I called to ask if I could borrow a vacuum. I left the coffee stains on the wall next to the coffee pot just to see and, sure enough, they were still there after 2 months. There was a "working girl" working out of the room downstairs. The Hooters next door has poor food, horrible service, and attracts a noisy late night weekend crowd. I wouldn't recommend staying here, and I would never choose to do so again.

“Great place to stay for a good price”

I stayed at La Quinta Inn Costa Mesa for 5 days. The staff is super friendly and wonderful. They took care of any problems right away. The room was very clean and had high speed internet. When I checked in, internet was not working. However, I called the number provided and they sent someone to fix it right away. They also have a shuttle service to and from the airport and anywhere close by. The night that I got in, they did not have a shuttle driver. However, they told me to catch a cab from the airport and they pay for it (which they did). I rode their shuttel to another hotel about 3 miles away, where I had to attend a conference. So, I could get around even without a car. There are two problems with this hotel though...1) It is located next to I-405 which makes your room rather noisy. However, you could ask for a room not facing I-405, which reduces the amount of noise. 2) The only restaurant close by is Hooters. There are many other restaurants around but you would need a car as they are on the other side of highway. Overall, I was very happy with my stay. Their rate was about $67 per day which was alot cheaper than many other hotels/motels in the area.

“Great value for the $$ and very pet-friendly!”

I read several negative reviews about this motel so was somewhat apprehensive when I booked however I was very satisfied with everything on my recent 2 day stay.
Several people mentioned it was "noisy" so I assume they were talking about it being next to the 405 Freeway. However once you are in the room, there was no problem.
I stay here primarily because I have 2 dogs and most places that allow pets have a 1 pet maximum so it was ideal for those with have pets.
It is convenient to both Costa Mesa & Irvine with easy access to the 405 and 55 Freeways.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone especially if you have pets!
The staff was courteous and I was able to checkin early. The room was clean and A/C was O.K. & you do have internet access in the room.
The Huntington Beach Dog Park is within 10 miles of this location so if you have dogs it is a GREAT PLACE to take them and they can walk right on the beach!

“Overpriced Motel, not a Hotel”

1/2 found this review helpful

I paid 120.00 for a single room that was definitely not worth that much. I kept trying to check-out on the TV as the menu on the TV said, when I called to ask for help, they said oh yeah, that doesn't work anymore, and they advised me to just get a receipt from the online booking program. The fixings for the in-room coffee- maker weren't stocked, I called, they sent more around but left it outside without letting me know....had to call again and be told it was outside (and I mean outside, not in a hallway). Then the coffeemaker itself didn't work at all. Free breakfast was over at 9:00 am which seems awfully early to me! Also, this was MOTEL, not a hotel........room access is from the outside by the dark parking lot. About three feet from the fwy. Should have been MUCH cheaper.
