“A great dog friendly location in Orange County”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

This location is about a 1000% better than the nearby La Quinta Inn location in Costa Mesa. It is a couple of dollars more expensive ($10 or so), but...that is money VERY WELL SPENT.

The hotel is nestled among quite a few other hotels...thus the address "Hotel Terrace". As usual for La Quinta, the location is dog friendly.

The lobby is large and attractive, and the staff we came in to contact with were friendly.

As far as I know, the hotel offers "suites" only. Nowadays the term "suite" can mean a lot of things, but our "room" was large featuring a separate sleeping area from the "sitting" area. In addition it featured a mini fridge and a micro wave in a bar-like setting with a sink.

The room appeared to have been refurbished fairly recently and featured a flat screen TV. We were on the third (top) floor and did not notice any noise whatsoever.

Free breakfast: I'm not nuts about the "free breakfasts" being served by many hotels/motels. However, the free breakfast at this hotel might be a little better than average. Breakfast is being served in a "courtyard" setting right by the pool. In my humble opinion, many guests will like this feature....especially on a nice warm day.

In summary: I'm rating this hotel as a "FOUR". As a dog owner, I'll go to a FIVE rating. It is next to impossible to find a hotel this nice, which will accept a dog FREE OF CHARGE.

Room Tip: We always select a room on the top floor, if possible. If on a lesser floor, someone always seems to...

“Nice and Relaxing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

Very convenient location just off the 55 Freeway - but protected by the Embassy Suites next door so freeway traffic is minimal. Friendly front desk personnel and easy parking and access to all floors via elevators. New flat screen TVs and spacious rooms. I was very pleased with my short 2-night weekend stay at this location.

Room Tip: Great coffee at the Burger King about 2 blocks south if you are too early for the La Quinta breakfas...

“One name, Nora”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011 via mobile

My wife and I always stay here when we're in town and I've written a review before. I need to add someone to this review though, Nora the wonderful waffle lady. She's always warm and friendly, and we like chatting with her while we wait for our morning waffles. She's been there forever, and always makes our stay pleasant.

“Love this place, stay often”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

This hotel is great for the value. It used to be a different chain, and is all suites. It is perfect for hanging out with friends with a great pool area, patio and jacuzzi. The rooms are really spacious with separate living room and bedroom area. The bedroom is open to the living room, but the rooms are really spacious. We stay there whenever we go out in Orange County, and their rewards program rocks!

Room Tip: Rooms 121-123 are open right by the patio if you are hanging with friends

“What a Deal!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I was very pleasantly surprised with this hotel. For the great price, I expected much less. It is located just minutes from John Wayne Airport (SNA) and the business parks of Irvine. For the family vacationer it is also minutes from Newport Beach and a 10 minute highway jaunt to Disneyland. It is nestled among a grouping of hotels so it is a good neighborhood. Just down the road you will find all kinds of chain restaurants and stores. The hotel was very clean with updated suite style rooms. The mattress and pillows were as good as any 4 star hotel I have stayed in. The rooms have mid-size frig, microwave and a kitchen sink. Lots of room to eat or play games with the kids in the room. Large TV and desk area. The pool was a nice size with a hot tub that was very clean. Breakfast was very good and the staff member serving the waffles was very pleasant. Breakfast is served on the patio by the pool so it was a nice way to start off the day. The only negative I encountered was the workout room. It is in a rather isolated corner of the hotel and the equipment is not the best. The lights are on a timer and turn off periodically so I had to stop my workout on the treadmill several times to relight the room

Room Tip: Ask to be on the third floor overlooking pool. Quieter with pretty view. The King room had a large...
