This is my second visit and my second review for this hotel. I have had nothing but good things to say about this hotel. The staff is accommodating, warm & friendly, helpful and always with a smile. I called to the front desk a few times during my stay and they were always quick to get me the things that... More

What a GREAT hotel! Dollar for dollar, you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal in Costa Mesa. The shuttle service was enormous to the pleasure of my two week stay with plenty of things to do in within a five mile radius (South Coast Plaza, Santa Ana art community, Irvine Spectrum) to name a few. Courteous, prompt attention... More

The Hotel Hanford was quiet, clean, & the people friendly and helpful. When we first checked in, our A/C unit was super loud. We called down and maintenance came-up within 5 minutes. As it turns out, the unit was unusually loud and they moved us to another room immediately. McDonalds is walking distance...right next door. Quick drive to Huntington Beach... More

This place is so nice that I almost didn't want to share it with anyone. Brian at the front desk is very professional and suggested great restaurants. Rooms are nicely decorated and clean. The pool was always deserted and quiet! The restaurant was really good as well. Located near the mall.

Although this was a business trip, the service and amenities made it feel like a vacation. The facilities were impeccable and the service was personalized. They provided excellent room service. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Later they delivered a beautiful fruit tray and delicious water from Norway. The entire hotel was beautifully decorated with warm, soothing colors and contemporary,... More

Well situated hotel. Liked the decor and room furnishings. Only complaint was that the rain shower didn't work properly and the handheld shower head leaked. Consequently, there was no way to avoid water on the floor.
