“Best place in Seal Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013 via mobile

I stay here several times a year for work and am always happy to stay here. The rooms are big, clean and well furnished. The breakfast is great and there's a great evening snacks with free drinks. I've stayed at most other hotels in Seal Beach before discovering the Ayers and this is by far the best.

“nice but slipping”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

We have stayed at this hotel several times. It seemed that they may be cutting back a little. On the weekends you can no longer get a breakfast cooked to order (eggs over easy or omelet). The scrambled eggs that are available on weekend taste like they are powdered eggs. Mon through Fri they cook to order. Still what they provide is better than most. The beds are comfortable. The location is perfect for us because we visit my aunt, who lives near by, when we are there. There are a couple of decent restaurants nearby. The hallways can be very cool especially right now during this cold spell.

Room Tip: Room on the pool side are quieter and away from the highway

“Beautiful rooms!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

I came into town for the weekend and decided to stay at The Ayers. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and very clean. Breakfast in the morning was really good. They had a variety of hot and cold foods. The one complaint I have is the wifi is very slow and hard to connect to. The solution they gave was to plug into the Ethernet. That would work if I had a laptop, but an iPad doesn't have that port.

Dear Kelovell -

Thank you so much for your positive review of our hotel. While I am pleased you found the accommodations so comfortable and complimentary breakfast delicious, I do apologize if our WIFI connectivity impeded your stay in any way. When occupancy is high it sometimes causes slower speeds as the bandwidth is being used by many guests simultaneously. I will be sure, however, to pass along your comment to the corporate office for review. We hope you will visit again very soon.

Many thanks,

Bill Dolan

“Good hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013 via mobile

Good accommodation and nice service. The hotel is not perfectly located but gives the enough distances to South Coast Plaza mall and some Outlets.

Is important to consider that the prices are under the average for the accommodations, is a cheap price for a really good accommodation.

“Wonderful stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

I boked a room for myself for one night when my husband had to go to the ER at the end of our vacation. I didn't know how many nights I would end up needing to stay there, but they were very gracious to allow me to add one night at a time. My husband needed surgery and I spent most of my time at the hospital five minutes away and came back to the hotel to sleep. Only caught breakfast once or twice while I was there, but it was good. The staff were helpful when I got lost due to detours and road destruction on Seal Beach Blvd. They were courteous and inquired how my husband was doing. When he was released from the hospital, we stayed together at the hotel for a few more days so that he could rest and heal before driving home to Arizona. The room was very comfortable and clean. I was able to do laundry at the hotel which was a huge convenience as we had not planned to be away from home for so many days. I/we ended up staying six nights in total at the Ayres in Seal Beach and we would not hesitate to stay there again.
