Clean, large, rooms in kind of a country French nautical theme. But, the location and staff make this place seem like a jail cell with nice curtains. There is nothing to do within walking distance and the hotel is located at the departure end of the runway for the Santa Ana airport, before the quiet zone. Forget working out, the... more

My wife and I stayed at The Ayres Hotel & Suites from July 24th - July 26th. This property was a Comfort Inn & Suites before Ayres took it over and did a remodel. We had a Junior Suite with a KING Bed in the building next to the main building. We got a pretty good deal, IMO thru Expedia.com... more

This hotel has a staff that is very friendly and kind, if you just talked to them. We had car trouble coming into CA, but they held are room for us and upgraded it to a juccuzi suite, which was fabulous. We used their shuttle to go to Balboa island and So. Coast plaza, and our trip wasn't a bust.... more

We slept very well.The accommodations are very nice. Our Air Conditioner was broken the first night but they came in the nxt morning and replaced the unit. All was fine. We got a... more

My stepmother and I traveled along with my sister's swim team, and this was the hotel chosen for the team to stay in. I am so glad that we stayed here! The beautiful courtyard was the best part, where we enjoyed our complimentary breakfasts and a few glasses of wine in the evening. The drive to Newport Beach wasn't bad,... more

We arrived on Sunday afternoon --had a fantastic lunch at Marche Moderne (reminded us of food in Paris), got a free make-over at the Dior counter in Bloomingdales, a massage in Newport Beach, and dinner at Maggianos. Fantastic day. Room was great--lots of pillows, comfy beds, and a nice European courtyard with tables and a fountain--reminded us of Italy and... more

I arranged for the bridal party to stay at this Ayres hotel in preparation for hair/makeup the next morning. The deluxe room was large effect for 5 people to do hair/makeup. The furnishings in the room were older, but we didn't need anything flashy. The beds were so comfortable! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Free internet & parking... more

While this property might not be brand new, we found it to be a very clean hotel and the staff was very helpful in all ways. We were able to schedule the free shuttle at the times we needed to travel with no problem. The next time we are in the Newport Beach area, we will be staying here without... more

After a very unfortunate choice of RCI property in San Clemente that we left w/o staying a night, we were lucky to find this first-rate hotel which saved our vacation. The suite was plush, the bed was ultra comfortable and the restaurant was outstanding. The location was great- we had golf, the beach and at least two malls within 10... more
