The staff were amazing and super accommodating, every interaction. The problems resided more so with the pool and the cockroaches and some other type of insect that was abundant in our room. The pool wasn’t maintained and was filthy.

My room was clean and comfortable. I had a refrigerator in my room but I would have liked a microwave too. The only noise was from Costa Mesa Police Department. They were arresting a woman in the room next door to me...don't know what that was about. I will stay at this Motel 6 in the future.

Someone hacked into my Expedia account, booked this hotel “Motel 6 Costa Mesa” through my account and used all of my Expedia points to pay for the hotel. I contacted Experia and the hotel. Both were fantastic helping me resolve this. The Costa Mesa Police were contacted and hopefully they arrested a “Beth Naill” who used my Expedia account to stay at this hotel.

Too pricey for the accomodations! It's not worth $100 a night! Not sure who determines pricing when it comes to hotels but they should be fired. A full room means money! Dream all you want,but it's kinda funny!

My friend and I came for a concert and just needed to stay one night. The room itself was great, very clean and comfortable. However, during our stay, the room was not very sound proof and we could hear our room neighbors moving furniture and the property was fairly noisy. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

I SEE THAT THEY RENOVATED THE FACILITIES. IT'S BEEN ABOUT 2 YEARS SINCE I STAYED THERE. ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY-BEFORE THERE WERE MICROWAVE OVENS IN THE ROOMS-PRIOR TO THE REMODEL. WENT TO THE FRONT DESK, AS THAT'S NO LONGER THE CASE. I KINDA MISS THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
