Super 8 Costa Mesa / Newport Beach Area

Barefoot on the carpet! This is the first hotel in this price range clean enough to walk barefoot I have experienced. Nice breakfast, free of charge. Close to the freeway. They offer smoking rooms. Excellent staff. I will return!

this was a last minute choice hotel and I am very happy with my decision. Gentleman at checkin was super nice, they have refreshments 5−8pm (soda, snacks and even wine), complementary breakfast 6−10am, and have DVD players and movies for free. There’s even a pub next door. The rooms are spacious and well kept and clean!

Man… Super 8. My only real problem with our room was the carpet was nasty. It looked like some homeless dudes slept on it in their dirty skivies over and over. We walked around our room in our sandles only. No bare feet. There was something smashed into the carpet that we were thinking we might need a hazmat suite to deal with. Turned out to just be a skittle, but my initial guess was baby poop. I don’t know if I would come back. It was a cheap room, that was pretty close to the beach towns, and to Disneyland, so I guess you get what you pay for, but I couldn’t wait to get out of there. This should be a 2 star rating, but I bumped it to 3 stars because of the price.

Exceptionally clean motel room, with nicely maintained, safe-​feeling gounds. I rolled in after 1am, and the night clerk was super friendly.
I paid around $ 90 on a Friday night in August; I’m a cheapskate, so the price was a little steep for me. But I definitely felt I got my money’s worth.
The people running this place do a good job!

My family of 4 including 2 children ages 11 and 13 just stayed 11 nights traveling with my husband for work. Let me say you will not find a better hotel in this price range, the rooms are older but everything was clean and they have people on the grounds cleaning all day every day. The pool area is very nice and well kept. You will see the management walking around on the property regularly and they asked me almost daily how my stay was going. The breakfast is pretty much a standard hotel breakfast, mostly carbs but it works and they always keep it well stocked, in the evenings from 5 – 8 the have complimentary wine, soft drinks and snacks which is a something you rarely see at a 2 or 3 star hotel. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Kool motel with excellent location

I stayed here with my 5 year old and little brother this past week for a mini vacation to get out of the brutal Phoenix heat for a few days. This Super 8 was perfect for us.
The front desk staff was super nice at check in/​out. My reservation had originally been for just my son and I, however I decided last minute to bring my little brother along, the motel was totally booked but they offered to stick a rollaway bed in our room, which was a perfect addition for our extra traveler.
The motel was alright, it’s what you would expect of a budget establishment in a beach city. My only complaint was the carpet was so dirty, the bottoms of our feet were black within minutes. Not a huge deal though, but I’d recommend a pair of socks or flip flops to wear while in the room.
The motel was close to everything we wanted to do. Just a few minute drive to Huntington Beach and Newport Beach/​Balboa Island. Disneyland is about 15 minutes up the road. There seemed to be a lot of restaurants and shopping centers close by which was convenient.
Overall the motel staff was great, the location was perfect, the price was right. I’d definitely come back again!

Beware. I stayed at Super 8 in Costa Mesa CA 7÷2÷15. The air conditioner and TV were both broken. I called the GM on duty (he refused to provide his name). He said that he would need to enter my room each time I wanted to turn on the TV. He entered. I indicated that the room was in a shamble and that I would call corporate. He said: we are not a part of Super 8 or Wyndam: I can do whatever I want to you. I am a single woman. He said this while standing in my bedroom. I no longer feel safe here. I will call American Express and dispute the charge.

Not at all what I expected for the price! This place has a very nice pool area, breakfast in the morning, free wine and snacks in the evening. And the people working here are so nice!

This place is great we are on our second night here and its perfect its away from the street so no traffic noise and the parking lot is very quiet. We booked a room for 3 nights with a king bed… When we got here our room was just freshly cleaned and check in was fast and the girl upfront was very nice… Breakfast was mediocre they had a waffle maker which is the best. Our king mattress was so comfortable it felt like memory foam but its was a pillow top beauty rest… Big flat screen tv, mini fridge, large shower/​bath, full sized table for eating, and large vanity… Only thing i can say bad is that the furniture it a bit out dated but other than that it looks like they are upgrading slowing… This place is very very nice

we have stayed here twice in the past 3 months
the first time we were skeptical about staying since my bf usually likes to stay at a different hotel in the area, however, it was fully booked that night and this place was the cheapest option that wasnt a crackhead motel lol
we paid $ 90 for a regular room, it was spacious and clean, huge couch. the mattress was pretty flat and the sheets were thin though. brink a blanket in case
the second time we stayed here the only option was the jacuzzi suite. the room had a living room area and the bedroom that had a jacuzzi in the middle of it lol. we really enjoyed how large the room was and had a bigger bed than a regular room. it also came with 2 flat screen TVs. this was also supposed to be a smoking room but surprisingly it didnt smell like how smoking rooms usually smell (aka like a casino lol). i wish i took pictures of the room to post on here
this is a pretty good place to stay, the only things that need to be improved are the décor and wifi. it looks pretty 80s and both times i stayed i couldnt get the wifi to work on my tablet, other than that i have no complaints about this place. obviously its not a luxury hotel but it is a nice clean place to stay for the price

I booked this place because it was the only hotel within a mile of my conference I was attending that was under $ 100 a night.
I tried to call to confirm my reservation since I would be there a few hours after the 2pm check-​in, but after 4 calls on 2 different phones, it seems their phone system wasn’t working and they couldn’t hear me. I mentioned this to them when I arrived, they seemed unconcerned.
I requested and got a 2^nd floor room, and since the parking is in the interior of the U-​shaped hotel I was able to park right under my room, for safety.
The room I received was very large, and pretty clean. The bedspread and blanket looked not so fresh, but the sheets and towels were clean. The TV and fridge worked fine. The mattress was lumpy as per usual budget hotels.
The breakfast provided wasn’t exceptional, just frosted flakes and raisin bran, as well as a waffle iron, yogurt, day old bagels, coffee and terrible orange «juice».
I would stay here again, if I REALLY had to for a local conference. No great shakes.
TL;DR: Cheapest in area, you get what you pay for. Which isn’t much.

My apologies for such a late post, but my friend and I stayed here while attending an event in O.C. last month. I’m a business owner of a confections co and had an event the night of check in, but arrived about 2 hours prior to check in time.
CHECK IN/​STAFF:
The front desk attendant, William, provided AMAZING customer service as we had issues booking online and had requests that needed to be addressed prior to arriving. He not only booked our room for us, he physically went to the room to check and see if this hotel was equipped for the handicap necessities of my friend, AND allowed me to leave my refrigerated items in a room (2 hours prior to our room being ready) with the A/​C on high so that the chocolate dipped items did not parish. He offered us an array of places to eat as we’re not familiar with the area, provided compassion and assistance to my handicapped companion, AND saved us a pastry as we checked out an hour late the following day due to daylight savings’ time change the night prior. The cleaning staff, upon arrival, was informed that we had arrived early and she dropped what she was doing to go clean our room so that it would be available ASAP.
ROOM/​BATH:
I was VERY impressed at the quality of our room. (Handicap accessible room #120 I think)
Both Queen beds were neatly made, clean all the way around, with seemingly new bed linens. All furniture was dusted, newer and well kept. (No holes in/​stains on sheets or furniture) Spacious bathroom with handicap bars, a ledge to sit on, and a detachable shower head for ease of showering while sitting down. (A shower chair was offered at the front desk by William if the bathtub was not suitable to my friend’s needs.) Bath towels were clean and plentiful. Nice flat screen, very cold refrigerator, A/​C worked great in the room overall and curtains were very effective in keeping light out for a late morning rise.
Downsides: The ice/​vending machines were in the middle of the parking lot next to the pool. Kind of inconvenient. Coffee in the room was regular motel coffee (bland). People staying at the motel seemed a bit hinky/​sketchy. Price of stay was a bit high for a motel, but awesome customer service and accommodations made it worth the cost.
Overall, VERY impressed and will definitely be staying here again soon! I’ll also recommend to my friends! !!!Customer Service Is Key!!!
Thanks again, William and staff who made our stay memorable!!!

Ok so I’m not even gonna write a lot but I do wanna let everyone know that this place has bed bugs and ants in the room. I got bit by a bed bug and I found it crawling away from me in bed it was fucking disgusting. I could not believe it. I’m never coming back here again. I suggest you also stay away!

Seriously this place is a cheap hole in the wall for a lot of money. Don’t book on a 3^rd party site because they will not refund you if you don’t want to stay. They will tell you to go through the third party and they will expect a deposit regardless. For what idk… the hotel can’t get much worse with cigarette burns in the blankets and 1970s décor with stains on the carpets. I paid $ 90 a room for an upgrade??? I’d like to see what the other rooms look like. No. Actually I don’t want to know.

The room was pretty awesome, especially with the deal we got. I would have loved this place, but it was filthy! I went to grab the ice bucket, which was upside down on the bathroom counter, but when I did there was used toilet paper with a dark yellow substance on it. The vanity had a brown goo on it. There were ants in the shower. The bathroom door had tooth paste smeared on it. It’s like the maids didn’t clean. They just came and put new towels in. I doubt they even changed the sheets. Probably just made the bed. There was a bud light cap under the desk. The microwave had crumbs in it. It was really gross. I was seriously worried about using their towels and sleeping in the bed. Housekeeping needs to do their job!

Ok, last minute I need a cheap room. Sound this Super 8 and was impressed. I asked about a jacuzzi suite upgrade and he make me a key so I could check it out and is was very nice! I checked a foe of the cheaper rooms but they kinda stunk and you could hear music from the bar in front of the hotel. Definitely a budget spot, close to everything, have a Jacuzzi, sauna and a real breakfast, which I missed. :-(. Next time I’m in the area I’ll definitely check it out.

Stayed at this Super 8 location for this year’s Pageant Of The Masters & our overall impression was *just* on this side of OK. I’d probably read this was 2.5 stars but rounded up due to the nice staff
Our flight was earlier than originally thought & we ended up arriving to the motel around 1 pm but they were nice enough to let us check in early — our room wasn’t quite ready but we only had to wait about 20 min for the cleaning staff to finish up…& I overheard the front desk telling a caller that they were fully booked for the night so seems like this place is a popular choice
The 1^st thing we noticed upon room entry was the super-​strong odor of «heavily-​traversed /​public restroom» & bathroom cleaner — not the best of scents. Also sorry to note the carpets weren’t very clean & there were long, thick black hairs all over the carpet & bathroom floor, alike. There was a used paper towel that was labeled «guest towel» & a guest soap that had also seen better days — we immediately threw both away
Also discovered no iron in the room, which was a bad surprise since my dress needing pressing & I had been counting on an iron being here but we hung it in the bathroom during showers, so it got some steam…
On a good note, I will say their hairdryer rocked & was among the best I’ve seen in a hotel /​motel setting!
The room itself was extremely quiet & even though the site is on a main thoroughfare, the neighborhood felt safe & given we were only in our room long enough to change clothes for our event, then back to sleep & we checked out 8am the following morning, I’d say we were in the room for less than 10 hrs total. The room served our needs & we weren’t looking for anything posh so we about got what we were expecting
1 last note — they do offer a free breakfast which I thought was a very nice touch (we already had breakfast plans so didn’t take advantage)
If given the choice to stay here again, personally I’d seek out different options first, but if none were available, I might stay here again

Recently booked a room for my family coming into town for a week. I have to say i was absolutely satisfied at the room, service, and the front desk manager William S. I will be using this place from here on out for any family reservations etc and recommending anyone else looking for a place to stay. Thanks William!

If the people of Walmart had a motel, this would be it…
The staff was friendly, and accommodating and any positives I should say are that they are good and seem concerned and caring.
the detritus of the motel was workers, nefarious people that look like they belong on breaking bad and people on honest vacation as well as people that look to be residents.
at no point did i feel unsafe, but it did have a am i stuck in a 90’s time warp feel to it, and the décor helped that… the shower head didn’t work, so they have a line to one a foot off the ground which makes taking a shower into a choose your own adventure of how you are gonna get clean — i live for these kind of moments, but a normal person not wanting to bend down and pick up the shower head might not like it as much… why the main shower head wasn’t replaced is beyond me… it was cheap, so thats why i stayed here…
the end.
