BLVD Hotel

This motel has the ability to be a nice place to stay. The problem is the addicts they let stay there. It is obvious that drug dealing is going on. There are people walking the hallways from 10pm until 5am there is smoking allowed everywhere. It is so loud during the night you won’t be able to sleep. Don’t ever bring your children here. The Costa Mesa PD should run a raid of this motel.

Terrible hotel in every aspect. I stayed here for two weeks. Unfortunately I had it prepaid so couldn’t move to a different place.
Here is my experience with this place
1) dirty, when I checked in the room had dirty bedsheets with hair and stains. It was changed but I noticed that often they would only make the bed and not change the sheets or towels.
2) it takes them 3 hours or more to make your room. They come in to take the dirty sheets and towels at 9 and come back after lunch to make the room ready. So if your planning to stay in during the day forget about it.
3) wifi. In the rooms that are further away from the lobby the wifi is non-​existent.
4) coffee in lobby is a hit and miss in the morning. Sometimes it’s ready at 6:30, sometimes at 7:30. I was there on business and left early so it was very annoying to not have coffee at 7:00 am.
5) tv: remote control did not work, they couldn’t replace it. So no tv. The guy actually called the supervisor who said there is nothing we can do.
Glad I’m leaving tomorrow

Awesome modern room and complimentary toiletries Are actually good… Shower head looks new and cool but the water pressure was not amazing! I have thick long hair so taking a shower was a never ending story! Walls are so thin, I can hear the people next to us taking and their phones going off and music they are playing, we are on the first level so above us is what I would think being under a stage of a lord of the dance performance. U can hear every single step they take and the desk chair rolling across the floor, it sounded like a plane taking off. Besides the walls and the shower head the room isn’t that bad, it’s fun inside and lots of storage for your things.

Look mom it’s an upgraded motel 6…
This place was horrible! Paper thin walls and a crackhead next door arguing with his chick while playing hip hop kept us up most the night. Although their firm beds might have made it hard to sleep on their own.
What’s funny is they give the place this nice makeover but tiles are missing around the sink and paint was peeling in the bathroom. Why did they even bother?

If you’re looking for a quick stay, this is the place for you.
Room — Standard king room. You can tell they were renovated which was very nice! I really enjoyed the look and feel of the room. The bathroom, to my surprise, was very nice. They had an over the head shower with rainwater feel which is a plus in my book. The bed wasn’t that comfortable and the sheets felt odd. I could also here the people in the next rooms whispers.
Hotel — Neighborhood and building itself looks super sketchy. I mad sure I parked my car right by the staircase of my room. There’s no elevator and when you pack heavy like me its not a fun time. When I first checked in the lady gave me a room that wasn’t even cleaned yet. We walked in on the made just starting and she says to us «I just started but I can just change the sheets». UM NO. I would definitely like everything cleaned please. Went down the dreaded stairs and switched our rooms right away. One plus is its right down the street of the OC Fair grounds which is why we booked the hotel in the first place. If you decided to drink, you can walk to the hotel. Granted it would take about 15 min. I would stay here again IF I was going to the fair but only if i paid $ 50 a night.

Stayed here for one night and had an awesome experience. The room was great, The front desk folks were also very accommodating. A lot of cool places around the area like sutra if you’re into the night scene. But overall great hotel for price and the beach is literally down the street.

Had a great experience staying at Blvd! The room is great and the front desk was very friendly. It’s close to the beach and if you want to party, sutra is just 10 min away! I recommend this hotel for everyone!

The room was nice but the service was poor. Stayed two days. All morning and half of the day there was a lot of noise going on above our room. We contacted the front desk to request to either be moved or to have them ask the people above us to keep it down. Front desk agent’s response «Well, I can’t control that. You’ll just have to call back tomorrow to ask for the manager.» Called the next day, different front desk agent. Explained situation to her since no manager was on duty. She had an attitude but ended up knocking off $ 30 from our stay. For two days, the noises continued. I give this hotel a 2 star rating because the rooms were nice and the location was ideal for the price. Other than that, service needs improvement.

Decent for the price and the distance to the beach, one of our beds was very awful to the point that my guest slept on the floor. If getting a good nights rest isn’t important to you I recommend this place. The wallpaper they put up in this place is ok, but you can already see the peeling of the veneer.

This review is solely due to our experience with the manager– Mr. Raphael. Upon arrival, my mother had made a reservation for a room for the two of us and our two pets. Throughout the reservation process it was NEVER disclosed that pets were not allowed. We were given the room closest to the office where we then proceeded to park and bring our pets in. As we were carrying the dog in were rudely met by the manager exclaiming that pets are not allowed. After several attempts to negotiate, we simply asked for a refund and go on our way. Raphael REFUSED to give us our
money back. Mind you, we simply stepped in & stepped out. Did not touch a thing. His response: «cant do anything, it was in the contract ». Classic example of highway robbery if I’ve ever seen it. I have NEVER in my life met a human being of that caliber — NOT an ounce compassion, care, nor concern for another.
Needless, to say we will cancel the transaction with the bank & never return.

Old motel obviously recently remodeled in an trendy vintage style. Only real complaint is that the doors that connect adjoining rooms don’t block much sound. The people next to you don’t have to be loud for you to hear them. So if you’ve got good neighbors it’s perfectly fine and a good deal. I could imagine, however, if you had even moderately noisy people next to you it could be a hellish stay.

Jennifer and Brittney were great to deal with. The hotel was totally remodeled and looks excellent. The location is perfect. Walking distance to dining and the park. The upgrades are comparable to the $ 400 per nite hotels we have stayed in.

Time has passed since my stay at the BLVD hotel in Costa Mesa. I had to step away so my review would be a bit more direct and thought out.
I will start with PRO as any review should offer something hopeful or positive.
PRO:
–No Parking fee (for first vehicle), or valet
–The grounds were remodeled. It was an old Comfort Inn and given what they started with, I’m sure its an improvement
–Front Desk person was nice when I checked in and checked out
–Looks like they might be offering beer/​wine at the bar adjacent to the front desk which is a cool idea
–Rooms have been remodeled to offer a surf-​hip style
–Bed was comfortable
CONS:
–ROACHES IN MY DAMN ROOM!!! I found one crawling across the threshold of the bathroom when I was sitting on the throne doing my business. I killed it immediately and thought it was a one-​time occurrence, I was WRONG! Upon waking up the next morning, there was an entire family of disgusting roaches, including a silverfish that had come out to party in the damn bathtub. I also found a roach swimming in the toilet… How in the hell did it get there too? That fvcker was flushed immediately. They were all very much alive and moving. F’n DISGUSTING!!! I snapped photos and video of this and will post what I can.
–The lack of carpeting in the room makes it very cold and rigid. Just doesn’t feel right not having any carpeting but a simulated wood vinyl flooring, regardless of how ‘hip’ you want to make the place.
–I found an unopened fast-​food bbq sauce container on the shelf adjacent to the tv. Oooookay. I know BLVD is not offering free sauce but maybe I’m wrong.
–The plaster and drywall in the bathroom was water damaged and crumbling. (see photos)
I informed the front desk morning of check out regarding my findings and they were concerned. The girl told me they would have the manager contact me by 10am Saturday (that morning), Aug 22^nd. I did not hear from the manager (Jennifer) until Tuesday the 25^th and this was after I took the initiative and emailed her first. She was mildly supportive and offered to credit me a 20% adjustment and to credit my 2^nd vehicle fee ($ 10)… which totaled around $ 30 off. Hmmm. Well, I acknowledged her concession and told her what I really thought that the room should have been comped entirely! I never heard back from her. It does make me ask if she would ever have contacted me about this issue had I not broached the topic with her first in an email. Just a sad way to manage a business.
I will never stay at that BLVD hotel ever again, and I advise any of you to consider doing the same. If you do decide to try your luck out of desperation, then ask to see the room you ‘might’ get beforehand and check for yourself if its worth your hard-​earned money to stay there. Check for roaches… pound on the walls to wake up the roaches and see if anything comes out to play. ANY HOTEL that treats roaches with a matter-​of-​fact attitude obviously does not give a crap about returning business or developing a long-​time clientele. I travel quite a bit during the year and can say with confidence that the BLVD hotel is nothing more than a pig with lipstick. Yup… even after that surf-​culture-​ca-​hip image and dressing, it’s still a pig.
Choose wisely folks. Stay FAR AWAY from this substandard hotel.

Don’t ever stay here. I was deceived. It appears to be a good deal nice hotel NOT! First off nightly rate was $ 129 plus fees and taxes.
I was told checkout was at 11:00am and not a minute later or I would be charged additional fees…
Once parked I walked up the stairs to my room and noticed how rundown the hotel was paint chipped, dirty un kept, faded pool furniture, exc… The placed looked like I had made a bad decision. When I opened the door to my room they redeemed themselves. It was a transformation and looked pretty good.
That night sleeping was a whole other story.
There were no extra linens, the ac/​heating was not working properly and loud. I was cold all night. When I went to shower in the morning, there was bugs in my tub, hair, and it was dirty. The soap dish was also rusty and barely hang on by one screw.
As I went to my car to check out. The gardening crew had cut the palm trees and the leaves were surrounding the front of my car, tires, and driver door.
When I brought these issues up to the manager Jennifer, she made me feel as though I was being dramatic. She said they had some at the front desk 24hrs, I should have called and asked for more linens. I was never told this at check-​in only the check-​out time and that the gardening crew was doing there job. She wanted to know if the leaves were on top of my car. seriously doe it matter? I had to move the
And drive over the to leave! I told her I stayed at the W hotel in San Diego a few nights before and paid the same price for the hotel and the quality was night and day she then proceed to discount the room $ 33. Yay! Not! DON’T STAY HERE!!! There are better deals out there, pay the extra $$$ and get more bang for your buck. Perhaps the other BLVD hotels are great this one is just crap. If I wanted this quality of a hotel I would of stayed at a motel 6 or Travelodge. This place needs that hotel impossible guy.

AWFUL. I wish zero stars was an option. Disgusting rooms with leaking air conditioners and moldy bathrooms. BUGS in my room. WiFi does NOT work at all, cannot accomplish a thing using it. No elevator and an abysmal location right next to the freeway. This is an old, crappy motel that they attempted to cover up with cheap mass-​produced furnishings… many parts look unfinished and like they were put together by a child.
HORRIBLY RUDE employees, especially one named Raphael. Someone actually entered my hotel room while I was gone, (not the maid service, nothing was cleaned/​bed not made) my belongings were rifled though and rearranged. This Raphael person left a very rude voicemail on my phone. I felt so threatened and violated that I left this place and rented another hotel for the night.
I travel the country for work and stay in hotels weekly… FYI. This definitely taught me not to stray from my SPG account. Such a horrible experience. Don’t waste your money here, go to a real hotel and spend the $ 20 more.

So my husband and I stayed here last night and when we arrived there was a very nice man who greeted us when we walked in to check in. He then reminded us at least 7 times its a no smoking facility and there’s no smoking but in an area in the back of the hotel.
We got to our room and took about 13 times to open the door with our key fob. That was a hassle!
The rooms are ALL tile! No carpet so bring slippers or flip flops.
The room was SOOOO hot when we walked in. The air wasn’t on so I cranked it up but Took a while to cool down.
The shower doesn’t have anywhere to put your shampoo, wash or anything you use while showering which made showering a mess with water all over the floor for having to put it outside on the floor.
After going to dinner then coming back a couple hours later the room was nice and chilly from leaving the air on while we were gone but REAKED of weed and cigarettes!!! Must have been the people next to us. Not to mention there’s NOOO privacy through walls AT ALL! You can hear everything! So we has to listen to their TV all night long!
Checking out was easy didn’t have to sign anything.
Will we stay there again? No.
Cheap place but you get what you pay for. Defiantly learned my lesson and should have listened to all the reviews.

Our family had a reunion last week and we all checked in to this hotel. I’m giving it a high rating because of the following:
* Excellent customer service
* Very clean
* Location is close to everything (freeway, beaches, restaurants, etc…)

I booked the room online and didn’t see any pictures. So I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door. It was remodeled and very modern. I loved the color and décor that they used. I checked in about an hour early which was nice. The walls are paper thin so I heard everything going on outside. There was no breakfast during the remodel either. I can’t complain tho. Clean room for a great rate. I would stay here again.

Hotel with a personality that is very fun, clean with modern décor. I would highly recommend if your looking for a place to sleep at a very reasonable price. The rooms appeared to be recently remodeled with mini fridge, microwave, flat screen TV, Free WIFi, lots of plugs for charging your devices and coffee maker in room. Works for me!

Decided on Costa Mesa for my Thanksgiving Stay cation — looking forward to some R & R by nighttime… man…
PROS:
Fast check-​in and out
Clean spacious room — hip moderm with minimalist clean lines décor.
Equipped with microwave n fridge
Cold AC
Upgraded Toiletries
Lotsa eateries — see Tip section
Lots of outlets for your electronic needs
Free wifi — pretty strong
CONS:
MAJOR noise pollution :(I didn’t get a rowdy frat crowd, but rude ass neighbors next to me and above me F***k!!!
Friday night — 130am — these loud ass Chinese kids coming into their rooms drunk and this one Chinese chick had a loud annoying giggle and was scraping her heels along the concrete floor…
Saturday: From 1pm until 710am when I got up — the room above me — that guy had major stamina and got lucky porking his girl all night — the bed was hella creaking… so much for sleeping –_​–
Continental Breakfast: Sucked — Costco muffins, cereal, morning bun, oatmeal with fruit, milk, oj and coffee. For an updated hotel — they could have at least provided hardboiled eggs for some kind of protein.
TV: the remote took forever to turn and Saturday night it turned off automatically at 10pm when I was watching TV and turned back on in the am –_​–
Shower pressure: wasn’t too strong and the hot water had a burnt smell to it.
Overall: It was a nice place to try, but the noise pollution itself is not worth a returning trip.
