Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Located in Costa Mesa, a southeastern suburb of Los Angeles, the Avenue of the Arts hotel earns a thumbs-up from recent guests for its swanky decor. Travelers love the purple tones in the public areas and the gold hues that drape the guest rooms, which house organic bath products, minibars and private balconies. Those who plan to return say they were pleased with on-site amenities such as the outdoor pool, the complimentary shuttle service to John Wayne Airport, the in-house sauna and the trendy Silver Trumpet Restaurant and Bar. While most travelers were pleased with their experiences here, comments on the staff were mixed. Some said they encountered friendly and helpful employees but others noted some employees had a bit more learning to do. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.
