Costa Mesa hotels are well versed in welcoming international travelers. As one of the most common international travel groups to Costa Mesa, Chinese visitors can be greeted with several convenient amenities and tailored services for their stay.

Through Marriott International’s Li Yu (meaning “serve with courtesy”) hospitality program, the Residence Inn by Marriott, Marriott Costa Mesa and Westin South Coast Plaza can all offer Chinese travelers specialty amenities like shaving kits and toothbrushes with a personalized welcome letter upon check-in. Guests may also enjoy items such as closed-toed slippers, tea and electric kettle, cup noodles, disposable chopsticks and power adapters upon request to ensure a comfortable stay.

Marriott Rewards members may also connect with a concierge service assistant if they want tours like Creay Bear Tours  for local travel information, to request in-room amenities or ask questions about their reservations.
