Verified Reviews of Holiday Inn Express Costa Mesa
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Not s good."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
The female clerk working the desk illegally uses the handicap parking making it difficult for us to get gramma in and out of the car comfortably. Your employee is disgusting, won't be back.

"Positive, room was clean, staff was pleasant, beds were very comfortable."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
One exception, a staff member parked right next to us in the handicapped space, to the right. Very inconsiderate.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
I would get the hotel at five but when I ordered over line it won't take my credit card I had to call when I called I don't know why it sent me but be very careful people because when I got there I had no idea I had to pay an extra hundred dollars for resort fees and not only that make sure you mention you want the cancellation room so you to get charged they took an extra hundred dollars for a night I didn't stay because of that and oh yes the breakfast but what they charge for the extra fee they should give you guys a good breakfast and that breakfast was the worst I've ever tasted in my life it was terrible they only gave you an omelette with some lousy cheese and some lousy sausage they need to step it up considering they charge $100 extra but the hotel itself the rooms are very clean comfortable beds and the Employees are very nice I don't feel this is her fault for the reservation so be careful when you do it online I would call them straight not on mine.

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.
