Recommendations

Fantastic venue for our mixer — An Eventective User from Fountain Valley,CA
I am with The National Association of Women Business owners- Oc chapter. We at our mixer at Citra lounge at Hotel Zessa. Their staff was incredible to work with. Super accommodating and friendly. Their pricing was fair and their food was phenomenal. We will absolutely be hosting more events at this location in the future. Top tier service. We all were very pleased.

Great venue! Best experience! — An Eventective User from Eastvale, CA
We celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary at Hotel Zessa and we had the best experience throughout. Starting with Lelani and Melissa. They were both very responsive, attentive, and accommodating to our needs. The night of the reception, Hector, Sergio, and Laura were awesome! They were very hospitable and attentive to our guests. Their customer service was exceptional! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a great experience for their special celebration.
