Costa Mesa Marriott

Costa Mesa Marriott

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful Stay at Marriott Costa Mesa! I had a great experience this weekend at the Marriott Costa Mesa. I was greeted by a friendly young woman at check-in who was working hard to make sure every guest felt taken care of. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and cleaned daily. The location is perfect—close to everything, including Newport Beach, great restaurants, and plenty of shopping. I would definitely visit again!"
