"nice penthouse"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Costa Mesa / Newport Beach

8/10 Good

"I was pleasantly surprised to see the room had a refrigerator and a microwave. The property was clean and the room was comfy. I did not like the noisy neighbors. Someone was yelling and bamming on a door in the we hours of the morning. We were awakened several times to loud talking and bamming on doors. There needs to be more security patrolling the premises and watching cameras. I didn't feel safe"
