Westin South Coast Hotel
Costa Mesa, California
Orange County is rolling in money. The earth
here is painted with an endless maze of concrete
with scurried movement conducting business as
usual. While most find refuge on the outskirts
near sandy beaches and towering pines, others
find solace in the midst of it all at the Westin
South Coast Hotel.

This place is making all the right choices. First
and most importantly is a good night sleep. One
can hardly sleep this good at home and
Heavenly Bedding is a big splurge here and
every room has been blessed with it. Room
service is from the kitchen of their award-
winning Pinot Provence. I never dreamed yogurt
with fresh berries could be so good!

Pool side sunbathers can order up cocktails and
a wonderful antipasto platter while those
pumping iron can gaze with envy through the
glass of their gym which is only steps away.
When the sun has set the Lobby Lounge with it's
waterfall terrace is just the place to enjoy
cocktails and appetizers before a stroll across
the "Unity" pedestrian bridge for a bit of
shopping at the South Coast Plaza Mall. The
Renee & Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, Orange
County Performing Arts Center and South Coast
Repertory are also just minutes away on foot.

Admittedly I didn't expect this much. Our room
#925 on a Friday & Saturday in September was
$159 a night. The place was without complaint.
It was clean, comfortable and left us wanting for
nothing. It's hard to find a place this nice with so
much at hand for such an affordable price.

Located at 686 Anton Boulevard in Costa Mesa.
