Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa

Very nice hotel

Positiv: The rooms were large and comfortable as was the bed. After a long day of sightseeing, with very tired bodies, it was nice to get into bed and relax.

Negativ: Early on Sunday morning about 0830, the power went out. And it stayed out. We checked the internet for Southern Cal Edison, the power company, and it showed the outage and also said it was out til 2:00 pm. When we checked out, the front desk staff said they knew about the outage but it wasn't supposed to be as long as it ended up to be. A couple of issues here, one, they should have notified everyone staying there by letter in the room or give them notice that there was a scheduled outage and what time. Two, what would have happened if someone got hurt, say, they were in the shower that morning with no notice and the were in a pitch black bathroom because that's how dark the bathroom is with no lights. Other than that, nice hotel, but parking and valet were expensive ($25 overnight and $33 for valet).

Positiv: Close to the mall.

Negativ: No clean rooms available upon arrival. It took 40min waiting in the lobby to get a room that was already reserved.
