Top Monarch Beach Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Irvine Spectrum

4/10 Poor

"My room was backed up to the train tracks, and the entire room shook when the trains drove pass twice. The TV remote did not work. When I called the front desk, no one answered the call. More importantly, for safety concerns, the door was not equipped with a dead bolt lock."

Ayres Hotel Costa Mesa/Newport Beach

4/10 Poor

"I have stayed at Ayres properties many times over the last 20 years. My company also has an account with Ayres Alisio Viejo. This property in Costa Mesa needs an uplift. The carpets are old and filthy and need replacement. The elevator was hardly running. $24 per day for parking now?? The restaurant food was, unfortunately, quite bad. We counl not eat it. We probably will not be returning again. I can remember when it was family owned and much pride was taken to maintain the Hotel(s). What a shame."
