We stopped for two nights during a recent trip to California. The position of the hotel is good for the marina and local bars and restuarants and is only a short drive from the Pier where you can watch surfers waiting to catch a wave or Fishermen waiting to catch lunch! We had a double room which had two double... More

We were looking for a good and cheap hotel near the beach. We went in Holiday Inn Express because it was the closest hotel we could find at a reasonable price. We didn't have a reservation but apparently the front desk person told us that the only rooms they had available were the queen size accessible rooms. I checked online... More

I'm going to go with the good first - hotel service, breakfast area, and room quality meet and exceed HIE standards. The pool/spa has an odd entrance but was nice and clean. The breakfast area, even when packed with a senior bus tour, was still kept stocked and refreshed. Parking is free (nice) and there are a couple restaurants within... More

The hotel is definitely over HIX standard. And the front desk staff is very friendly. They have preferred parking spots for platinum members, but not well enforced. Just don't stay on the first floor. I couldn't believe a new building like this can have the ceiling noise problem of a shabby wooden house. The ceiling of the first floor is... More

Very comfortable stay. Smart room and quiet even though on coastal highway. Good restaurant across the road and I recommend the Rusty Pelican for dinner overlooking the water of the inlet. Easy drive from LA and not far from Laguna Beach for shopping.

More expensive than other hotels selected for the trip, but again you get what you pay for. Super clean, modern. Breakfast was great, cinnamon rolls, pancakes machine ... Pool was a bit dirty, although weather was cold for a swim. Quiet hotel, great night sleep. The only negative point was a permanent smell of sewer in the elevator and hallway... More

This particular product is a bit of a gamble. All are decent but some are better than others. Other hotels in this area are very overpriced but few are worth the money. And some are very expensive. Check in was easy and the desk clark as quite nice. She comped the parking fee, thankfully. It's self park and wasn't terribly... More

We enjoyed our stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Newport Beach. The room was clean, quiet, and well stocked with coffee and toiletries. The complimentary breakfast had an excellent variety of foods, eggs, cereals, biscuits and gravy, toast, muffins, yogurt, fruit, and the coolest pancake machine that was all automated. They also had an attendant at the breakfast area that... More

I stayed one night at this Holiday Inn and wished I had booked it for two. The property is tucked in tight from the highway and might be missed if one was not careful. The place seems fairly new and tidy. The front desk experience was quick and friendly. Parking is plentiful and close to your room. The alarming part... More
