The room was very cushy and comfortable. The bed was super soft
Dan L.

I can't believe the low Yelp reviews on this place. I've stayed at this place multiple times and each time has been really good. It's spacious, clean has plenty of self parking... Although you pay $45 a day for it but that's kind of standard right? People at the front desk were great and friendly, helpful, and eager to get you into your room as quick as possible. We had brought our pet with us and they were very accommodating with that, It was only an extra 50 bucks to bring our furry friend. This particular token had a Starbucks in it which made it convenient as we were in town for a show and had to get up early to go to the event. Overall comedy experience was very pleasant and the price was actually really good.. I used the hotels.com app and was able to find a screaming deal. So definitely check that out if you're going to go. Bottom line? If I'm ever in Orange county and need to get a a room I think I would definitely stay here again. The $45 a day parking is a little steep but hey I can get it real estate in Orange county. Is that a premium.

Emerald Bay Conference room. 2/2/2026

I have been to this Hilton hotel numerous times for conferences. They provide breakfast and lunch and the food is okay. The conference rooms are clean and well stocked with water. The parking can be a nightmare and they often run out and you'll need to park in the adjacent parking structure, which sucks because you never know if your conference will cover the cost. Other than the parking being an issue, I'd say this is a pretty nice venue if you are attending a conference.

I understand this is Orange County and a Hilton. But the room is extremely old fashioned and dirty. The towel in the bathroom had something like a blood stain on it. Sure it was washed most likely many times, but for a $300 standard room at least throw that away and use a new clean towel that's not permanently stained. I feel like that's unacceptable. And for $300 a night in Orange County and the lobby being so nice I expected a somewhat nice looking room. I definitely will not be staying here again.

Came here for our Scouting Orange County Council awards banquet to see our new Eagle Scouts be honored as well as see some of our adult leaders be given their Silver Beaver awards. The venue is always well staffed, with sufficient parking, the food is consistently good, and the facilities are clean and well kept - with enough room to fit and feed everyone comfortably. I'm sure we'll be back again next year - the location is central to our footprint, and they take good care of us. :)

Our whole lives taken because of the lack of security by Hilton and the bad place in front of the hotel where they instructed us to park.

I stayed at the Hilton Costa Mesa with my one-year-old son during a move. We trusted the hotel's valet service with a U-Haul carrying everything we owned after being told it would be safe. By morning, it was gone--along with everything inside. What's even harder to process is that the hotel noticed the U-Haul was missing around 1 AM during a shift change while we were still asleep in our room, and no one told us. They simply assumed we had left, without verifying. We woke up to shattered glass and our entire life stolen. Our belongings were later located at an encampment under a freeway overpass, destroyed and unsanitary. We were warned about serious health risks just trying to recover anything. The experience was deeply traumatic, especially with a one-year-old, and the lack of accountability or even basic communication from the hotel made it far worse. No one should go through something like this--especially when they trusted a hotel to keep their belongings safe.

Large scratch and bleeding

It was terrible and an even Horrible experience with this hotel. Stayed in room 635. I'm here for the real estate event, 9/4-9/7, on 9/6 night. My little three years old daughter got hurt by walking along the Beds( the bedframe), this hotel use, the mattress is much smaller than the bedframe that has two clipside sticking out and very sharp. My little daughter got scratched so bad to her whole back and very deep scar and was bleeding. The worst thing is not just the incident. Is the way they treated this! when I called this hotel front desk and services, they said do you need call the ambulance or go to hospital and if not then just "A Good Night". This hotel and staff and/or manager don't even step in and trying to solve and talk about and care bout the experience and how this baby girl doing. I'll try everything I can to rate Badly about this hotel and staff. And pursue legal consultant annd action toward this. And You Deserve a 0 STAR FOR THIS!

Pretzel
Diana R.

This review is specifically for the hotel bar for happy hour. We successfully hosted a conference at this hotel and we wanted to celebrate afterwards. Our server was very helpful and friendly. They had your classic happy hour menu items, and we opted for the potstickers, sweet chili sauce chicken wings, and large pretzel. Our group had the white and red house wine and beers. Everything was pretty good and we had a wonderful time celebrating the completion of the Conference.

See all

Check-in was disorganized. The front-desk employee charged our credit card for the wrong room and told us not to worry because the charge would be removed within three to five business days. That was not an acceptable resolution. Our room had several problems: it smelled unpleasant, the air conditioner made a loud screeching noise throughout the night, and the refrigerator did not work. We were provided only one set of bath linens. When I called to request another set, we received two bath towels that appeared to have melted plastic on them. Equally disappointing was the service. When we contacted the office about these concerns, we were not treated courteously, and no one apologized for the errors. At checkout, no one asked about our stay or offered an opportunity to address the problems. I later contacted Wyndham and was told that, because this location is a franchise, there was nothing they could do. I am extremely disappointed by both the hotel's response and Wyndham's lack of support. This experience has caused me to reconsider staying at Wyndham properties in the future.

While the other upscale hotels were nice, this hotel was very classy. To begin with they are extremely handicapped friendly. They have double doors and those buttons you can push that automatically opens the doors for you if you're in a wheelchair they also have ADA rooms with these door openers and the pool has a elevator since it is at the bottom of the stairway to make Wheelchair access possible. I am seriously impressed by how ADA Friendly they are. The building was very charming. First thing I saw when I walked in was a big large grand fireplace and Stone floors and big Oriental vases and the place had an old world hotel feeling.. It is very charming and full of character. The rooms were extremely comfortable and have very nice classy furniture. The curtains were very nice. The bed was amazingly comfortable and clean. My only criticism was my first day there It did smell a little bit old like they could use a good spring cleaning , but the next day it didn't smell like that anymore. And their staff they are first class. While other hotels made me feel resented for requesting assistance, Ayres staff were very classy and beyond accommodating and they made me feel so welcome and they all generally had very good energy and attitudes. This whole experience felt like I was stepping into the grand Budapest hotel(the movie) just a little bit. That's what it made me think of. I also heard that the owner has breakfast there every morning. I especially want to recognize the staff and thank them for making the experience so welcoming and accommodating for me especially since I am in a wheelchair and i unfortunately am not treated so well in other places.

It's just a straight shot on 18th and within walking distance from the ocean on one side and the channel on the other. Tons of places to eat and drink, all within walking distance and beach cruiser to and from. We stayed in room 303 and had a lovely peekaboo to the ocean. The hotel staff was so kind and hospitable. Tasha at the front desk and the valet/concierge (Caleb) and others were so accommodating.

From the coastal decor and thoughtful accents to the amenities, everything felt fresh, stylish, and well thought out. If you're planning a longer stay, the suite is perfect. Ours included a fully stocked kitchen and a separate bedroom with living space overlooking the ocean, making it feel more like a beach apartment than a hotel room. A special thank you to Tasha, the front desk manager, who was incredibly warm and welcoming and truly set the tone for our stay. She recommended The Lighthouse, just steps from the hotel overlooking the harbor, and it ended up being a great spot with good food and beautiful views. We travel often and have stayed at many of the surrounding hotels in the area, and Bay Shores Peninsula has done a fantastic job with its renovations. The location is excellent, the property is spotless, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Room has decent toiletries, hair dryer, robes, slippers, fridge, coffee maker. Several restaurants on site, Starbucks coffee, little market, etc. They also have their own fire pits. 4+ stars * Location: accross from the beach... so it is not quite ocean front although they do have non-obstructive view of the beach and Hungtington pier. It is a bit walk to Pacific City shopping. 4+ stars. * Motif: nice and wellkept grounds. Room is clean, basic decor. 4 stars for the overall, 2 stars for room noise! * Service: valet staff is friendly. Front desk is so so. Housekeeping staff is nice and friendly. 3 stars. Averaged to 4 stars. We are loyal Hyatt customers, explorist status on Hyatt membership. But we usually stayed at the Hilton (for better view). We booked 3 night ocean front room for a staycation directly via World of Hyatt. We got the farthest room of the resort. The bell desk delivered our luggage before we got there since it is quite a walk... so, if you have any issues with walking, might ask to have room closer to front desk. The guest room is decent size suite, clean, nothing special with sofa, desk. The balcony is good size. The goods: - they have a bridge to cross over to the beach where you can pick up beach chairs, towels, umbrella etc. They do have beach service to set up chairs and umbrella for $25 from 8 Am to 5 PM. - many pools - beautiful resort grounds - there are many restaurants, market, Starbucks coffee shop... so you do not need to leave the resort. The bads: - noise, noise and noise. It is so closed to PCH that the noise is unbearable especially for the ocean front room. They have earplugs for you... but really who wants to wear ear plugs all day?! - parking: no self park option. - our room has the parking view... hardly ocean front. For over $1000 per night, it is a rip off! I will definitely do not recommend ocean front room at this resort! Overall, it is ok stay for us but hardly relaxing.
