Stayed over a weekend in early March for a wedding; ceremony was on Balboa Island; reception in Huntington Beach and other events in between; the hotel's location was great. Our party had 2 rooms, both with bay view. King room was on the smaller side; double was a good size. I paid a little extra for the bay view but... more

Clean, updated hotel in Newport Beach with a great location and a very nice staff. The rooms were a lot better than expected - not the typical low cost hotel you would expect for the price. If in Newport again, I will definitely stay there. more

We turned up and got a room. The first room they tried to put us in was one where a guy had been smoking in it for the whole week. We went and got that room changed. Nice room, 2 Queen beds, comfy. Our room had a drink vending machine outside it, it was noisy. Nice hot spa and a... more

Just returned from the Newport Beach Holiday Inn Express. Our stay was wonderful. The inn has been recently renovated and all the bed / bath linens were new. The staff is friendly / helpful. You can't go wrong if you decide to stay here. It is in an excellent value for the reasonable price of the room. more

We would like to thank manager, Chas. Taft, personally. He recommended a babysitting service for us that was superb! As a previous reviewer wrote; the remodeling process is in progress but we were not, in the least, disturbed by it. The only minor complaint we can voice is that the vending machine was out of order, with no sign on... more

The Holiday Inn Express in Newport Beach looks great. The interior is newly remodeled and the people that worked the desk were very nice. I know a lot of people vacation in Huntington Beach or the Newport area and it can get a little hectic, but everything went smoothly. The room was a decent size and there was a coffee... more

Stayed one night in July and were surprised to see the construction site at the entrance. Congratulations to the hotel though, since the construction did not bother us the least bit during our stay (I also think by now it is finished), we did not hear any noise. The hotel has a good location, close to the center of Newport... more

Myself and my 2 friends are just back from a 3 week trip of Vegas and California. We stayed at The Holiday Inn Express at Newport beach for 5 nights and I have to say that this hotel was the most unsatisfactory of all the hotels we stayed in - despite it being the most expensive. The room was an... more

The staff here were not very friendly or helpful - with only one or two exceptions. On our arrival the staff barely acknowledged our prescence. We were then told, that despite there being tea/coffee making facilities in the room - that we were not allowed milk for it! The elvators do not currently work as the hotel is being renovated.... more
