I’ve stayed here more than once and have always had a positive experience. The location is super convenient and the prices are affordable. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Much more impressive than other places I’ve stayed in the area. The management is fair and staff is always professional and understanding. Definitely worth checking it out.
Great customer service, i cane in late but the employee was very attentive and quick to check me in. Room was very clean and spacious. Did not struggle to find parking. They had vending machines with variety of snacks, drinks even ramen soups. Beds were comfortable and rooms were very well kept up with. Highly recommend.
Well it's on Newport Blvd so you probably thinking suspect well possibly at one time but management here has definitely flip that script and turn this into somewhere that is good bang for your buck, clean, great staff and you can't beat the location for those who want to dip on into Newport Beach without paying the Newport Beach prices for a room. TVs you can connect your devices to dimmers on the lights in the rooms so you can set that mood for either work or study or play quiet location and plenty of vending machines for all of your snacking and drinking pleasure.
Excellent Management and Staff, Mike and his Wife were always available even during a full remodel of the interior of their guest rooms. Extremely quite and friendly property. I will certainly be back next time I need accommodations in Costa Mesa, California. My hat goes off to the over the top Excellent customer service and care I received throughout my entire stay at Sunset Inn.
Great price. The front service lady was superb! She helped me so much and was on top of everything. Definitely 6/5 stars on service.
I was warmly welcomed. I had an issue with my TV, and Mike fixed it and also had another room available for me if the TV couldn't be fixed. It's worth the price you pay. I had a great experience there!!! Walking distance to most anything you need! I will be staying there again for sure when I need a room in Costa Mesa/Newport Area.
Very nice rooms. Big, spacious, clean, relaxing. Comes with a fridge and microwave which is amazing. Great rates a well!
