This is a beautiful hotel. It's always clean, and the customer service is great. My only complaint is that a $72 parking fee on top of the room charge for 3 nights is excessive.

Comfortable and Relaxing Stay!

Our time in Costa Mesa for Thanksgiving week was great because of our stay at the Ayres hotel. We had a balance of family and time alone. The hotel was clean, the staff is amazing and kind and we would definitely come back again for an overnight or even a week stay. We highly recommend Ayres Hotels.

Our stay at the Ayres hotel was excellent. The staff is friendly and helpful. They accommodated our request for a quiet room and helped when we extended out stay. The grounds are beautiful and well kept too. We would highly recommend for any travelers either 1 night or a week!
