Top East Side Costa Mesa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are friendly, the room is clean. Just one thing that i don’t like, there is no complementary lotion.😭 so we have to go down and buy lotion."

Hilton Anaheim

8/10 Good

"Was in room 7-113 it was a great hotel and everyone was super helpful from the minute we got there. Room was clean and well done, the only complaint with the room was that we couldn’t hear the rolling of the elevators all night, but it wasn’t outrageously loud or anything. And the only other drawback is the cost of parking for people staying at the hotel is quite high. Other then that, it’s a great place to stay"
