     Are you dreaming of an escape, but don't have the time or budget to plan an extended out-of-town trip? Having company for the holidays but don’t want to disrupt your household?
    Well, the hotels of Costa Mesa in Orange County have the perfect package for you.
    We may only be down the street, but we know you'll feel a world away when you arrive in Costa Mesa, the OC’s family-friendly base camp for shopping, dining, surfing, boating, golf, Disneyland, and much more. 
    The “2010 Drive & Dine” promotion offers valuable travel and dining incentives and competitive hotel rates and runs through December 30 based upon room availability.  No minimum stays are required. Some restrictions apply.
    Here’s how it works. When guests book a stay in one of 10 participating Costa Mesa hotels during the promotional period, they will receive a $15 per night dining certificate per reservation for each night they stay in that is redeemable at many fine Costa Mesa area restaurants. 
    Additionally, a $25 reimbursement on airfare or purchase of gasoline will be
mailed to guests within a few weeks of their stay in Costa Mesa.  That amount rises to $50 for visits of three or more consecutive nights. The gasoline or airfare reimbursement is also limited to one per hotel reservation. 
    Guests also receive a VIP Passport from South Coast Plaza filled with valuable special offers from leading retail establishments.
