Let me begin and end with the service; it sets this hotel apart from several others because of it's staff who treat guests like they recognize we have a choice and appreciate the fact we chose to stay with them. The hotel is in a great location with easy access to the 405 & 55 freeways. There are several restaurants... More

I like hip & modern hotels & am 43 & stay in only 4 or 5 star US hotels. I found this hotel on bloomspot.com. for $100/nt 1 King. To my surprise, I think this used to be the old & dingy Holiday Inn. Well, old & dingy The Handford is not! Adorale style the hotel has graduated-- similar to... More

From the welcome to the facilities to the room, this hotel is attractive, efficient, and comfortable. They are a hotel that understand business travelers and appreciate their needs without taking advantage of them for more money. Many hotels at this star level charge for internet, printing, computer use, and parking. However, this hotel made those amenities included in their rates.... More

We just returned from OC and stayed here for the OC Marathon that was yesterday. We had booked 2 nights because the last thing you really want to do after running 26.2 miles is have to drive through LA back to where we live. Anyway, the hotel was absolutely fantastic. We had a couple of glasses of wine at the... More

This is a renovation/turnover done right. It is a perfect complement to the fit and feel of the Costa Mesa/South Coast Metro communities. I'm a local and I booked this for a business guest. We spent quite a bit of time on the property and in the room. The building has a particularly interesting story. As memory serves, the Holiday... More

The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The Hotel is quite close to the 405 and the Costa Mesa Mall. There are several places to eat within a mile or less. The hotel exterior has the appearance of a one-time office building due to the very dark glass. The lobby although attractive enough has low ceilings and feels a bit... More

We got this hotel thru priceline. We picked this area to be close to relatives. This hotel is close to I-5, but we heard no freeway noise in our room. Easy check-in. Nice pool with large jacuzzi spa. Clean, nice rooms, not too fancy but were fine. Helpful staff. The location was great. We plan to stay here again.

Modern bathroom with sizable shower (no tub). The in room safe was the largest I had seen and easily fit my laptop. That's all the good news. Unfortunately, the A/C was a very noisy window... More
