Hotels near Port of Sound Record Shoppe, Costa Mesa

The environment is very good, hygienic and convenient. The service staff are very friendly. The reception staff also gave my son a set of train toys, which was very considerate, but we were just passing by for a trip, and we look forward to staying here next time we come to the beach.

The hotel is much better than expected, the facilities are complete and new, and the breakfast is good. Close to the high-speed port, convenient transportation. Stayed at night, the surrounding environment has not been seen, and did not care about taking pictures, so did not give full marks.

I overslept for 2 days and didn’t eat breakfast. The hygiene is good, the room is quite big, and the sheets and quilts were changed the next morning.

Hello everyone, Please do not stay at this hotel, it looks nice from the outside and pictures but once you check in an open the hotel door it smells horrible and smells of mold there was mold all over the room. The sheets still had someone else’s hair. When I tried to speak with Stew the hotel manager he just got upset. This kind of dealings is not what you’d want to deal with. Stay away. I would have not even rated it a 1 star but you have to rate.

The hotel staff were very friendly, the breakfast was good and not luxurious, but it was basically good. The hotel is a 25-minute drive from Disney and about an hour from Universal Studios. The airport also takes an hour and a half. It is close to Irvine. You can go there for Chinese food, you can eat Haidilao, and beef is a must. There are also net red hi multi-party ramen, just to line up. In short this hotel is recommended, there is a laundry room, and the underground parking lot can also reach the elevator, which is great

booked this room for our vacation room was nice and clean, we ate out for breakfast but it was offered thru hotel the room was very spacious and comfortable, housekeeping kept us stocked with supplies toiletries,coffee, Garbage bags, clean towels etc we enjoyed our stay thank you!

This was booked as part of our California road trip. We were able to book in early, which was a real plus, however we found the room to be very dark and it smelt damp. It was a good size and had a full size fridge. The carpets however were filthy!! We all had showers and within minutes of walking around barefoot our feet were black!! Our kids used the pool, which was fenced off in the middle of the car park. It had ample seating around it, but it certainly wasn’t the cleanest. The hot tub was green in colour. We had an issue with our sink, which made it unusable. It took 2 phone calls to reception to get this sorted. The hotel was well positioned for Newport and Huntington. It’s on a busy road, but there are good restaurants and shops around. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Its dated and needs a good clean.

This is a great hotel. Nice location, cute set up and a very short distance from Balboa and Newport. Walking distance to a few restaurants. It is clean and has a great free breakfast. Staff is friendly and was accommodating to our needs. It is also quiet and low key. They do have a small, outdoor pool and also an exercise room. I will stay there again and I definitely recommend!

Overall we enjoyed our stay at this small charming hotel, but we did have a few bumps and a few comments to make. We liked the style of our room that continued the yacht club vibe of the hotel. The blue and white room was cheerful with some built-in shelving, textured walls, and custom light fixtures that gave the space a homey but sophisticated look. We also appreciated ample drawer space and an empty mini refrigerator to put our own items in. We did not use the TV during our stay, but if we had, the best way would have been from the bed as the lounger in the room faces away from the screen. The black and white tiled bathroom was attractive with a large walk-in shower. We did have an issue with the air conditioning not really getting to a comfortable level until the middle of the third night of our stay, despite reasonable and consistent outside temperatures. Also of note two of the six showers taken by us were cool. A highlight of the hotel is the pool which is located in a courtyard surrounded by the hotel. It is nice and long and seems to have more than enough loungers around it. The gym is accessed off a covered corridor next to the pool and has a few cardio machines, windows to the pool, but limited workout equipment. We did not use or see the spa. We had breakfast at the very stylish Mayor’s Table and enjoyed a good meal and service. Overall the staff at the hotel was friendly with the parking valets a real standout. They looked great in their sporty causal outfits and always had the car available within minutes. The location of the hotel is great for easy walks to the beach or the cute Lido Marina Village shopping area where you will find a collection of great upscale restaurants overlooking a marina, plus a few shops. The hotel however is surrounded by roads, one of them very busy, and its own parking lot. There seems to be limited meeting space which we think is a good thing so the chances of a large group overwhelming the hotel are slim. Since this hotel often can charge more than $600 for the cheapest room we expected higher quality basic room features. The bed sheets were thin and average, the toilet paper thin and cheap, and the toilet seat surprisingly not a soft close model. And to be picky, we thought the pool loungers should have been cushioned at this pricing level. Parking is $46 per day, and the resort fee is $35 a day but does include use of bikes and a beach shuttle. Neither of which we used.
