I stayed at the Doryman's Inn for one night on the recommendation of a waitress at the Tommy Bahama's in Newport Beach. (Gorgeous food, friendly staff. Go eat at the Tommy Bahama's.) It's got great location, right on the Newport Beach peninsula and across from the pier. You couldn't ask for a better place. The hotel also wins for: *... more

Newport Beach; Doryman's Inn - Bogus B.& B. Date; January 11th 2009 Reviewer; Deanna from San Diego, CA. I love to travel and do so quite regularly. My passion is to explore new "B.& B.'s" all over California. Having heard the Fisherman's lore and history of the Doryman Inn, and already experiencing so many numerous other B.&B.'s, I decided for... more

We really liked the atmosphere here.... an authentic Newport Beach experience with the harbor, the ocean. The restaurant was great, the service friendly. more

We found the Doryman online and loved the concept of a beachside bed and breakfast. It was one of the most pleasant stays we've had.

We booked for 2 nights and since we were staying on a Thursday the first night we were able to take advantage of the lesser weekday rate. The room was... more

I thought it was a blast to be right at the hub of activity and watch all the people. For the next... more

Doryman's Inn is FIRST CLASS all the way! What a fun location... right at the beach. 21 Oceanfront restaurant is right downstairs... talk about DELICIOUS! such a professional operation through & through.. no wonder it's been rated the BEST in OC for 4 decades!! more

Doryman was a disgrace to the title of Bed & Breakfast. The rooms were below average. The outside noise would not let you sleep until 3-4 in the morning. The phones were not functional. The service was awful. And the breakfast was the worst we have ever had. If you are in the mood for bran muffin, cold boiled eggs... more

Upon reading some questionable reviews about this hotel, I was hesitant to book it. However, the price was right and you can't beat the location(for the area). I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness, comfort and quiet of this hotel. I especially like how they keep each room's door open until the guest checks in to that room. When we... more
