Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better hotel. Very beautiful decor (my favorite color is purple so I may be a little bias) the details were well thought out. The landscape was beautiful and peaceful. Right outside the door they have a big pitcher of cucumber and lemon water. That's the moment they stole my heart! Lol The staff very warm, welcoming, and friendly. The rooms super clean. (No hairs, anywhere). The beds were comfortable, showers hot, the floors/walls are solid no hearing the people next door or above you. Plenty of lighting. Did I mention the decor is fabulous...Nice size tv. They offer a variety of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks in your fridge for a fee. They have a very nice restaurant onsite. Their towels are super clean and fresh. A private parking garage provided to guests for a fee. I had a good time in California but I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel and enjoy it. That's when you know you have a good one! I can't Thank you enough Expedia for finding us this hotel and solving all our problems! Choosing this hotel will be the best choice you will make on your next trip to Costa Mesa, CA!"
