Verified Reviews of Holiday Inn Express Costa Mesa
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:"Great for the price and location"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Needed a place to stay for the Surf City Blitz festival in Huntington Beach. This hotel was comfortable and close enough that a quick Uber ride could get us to and from the concert, but far enough away that we could hop on the freeway and miss all of the traffic leaving. Breakfast was great, especially given that it was free. Staff were accommodating and polite.
