I stayed with my wife in room 301 on 3/6 and 3/7, perhaps right down the hall from the gal who just wrote a long glowing review. yesterday So this was our fourth visit to this hotel which speaks for itself. The hotel is homey, and is located a three minute walk from the Newport Pier with all of the... more

“Cleanliness has never been an issue with our property in 30 years, the 50+ reviews we have received on this site or our unannounced AAA inspections. We have frequent routine pest control to avoid any such issues. With hundreds of other guests in the hotel during that time frame with no such issues, it's unlikely any insects found their way...

My husband and I just returned from a 3 night stay. I picked this hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews and everyone was right! What a great place for relaxation! We were in room 303, which is a partial ocean view. When the windows were closed there was little noise from outside which was wonderful at night for sleeping. It... more

This place was exactly what I wanted it to be. Quaint, clean, & right next to the beach. But it went above and beyond! I walked in and saw a personalized greeting card, chocolates on the pillow, free dvd rental from the lobby, and free towel, body-board, beach-stuff lent from the lobby as well. I loved the huge surfing murals...and... more

I'm so impressed with the tripadvisor experience that I depend on it wherever I go-- and have never been disappointed. Earlier this week our corporate attorneys notified me that as CEO I had to attend the deposition of an expert witness. The depo was in Newport Beach, so of course I looked first to tripadvisor for advice on where to... more

We arrived a bit weary from LAX. We were blown away with this hotel. The guy on the desk was wonderful, and suggested some top places to eat...and there were chocolate chip cookies for me to eat whilst I was checking in! He even moved us to a ground floor room, as I am not very able to walk up... more

This small hotel is fantastic! It has a great location. The rates are very reasonable. When we checked in the desk clerk had just finished baking chocolate chip cookies! He took us on a short tour of the hotel. There is a kitchen that you can use anytime. It's stocked with cereal, milk, juices, microwave popcorn, etc... The beach is... more

We went to this hotel to attend the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade....what a perfect location with its great sun deck to view the parade and its easy walking distance to restaurants. I loved the wall picture in our room of the great wave and the surfers...(different rooms have different pictures.). It was so wonderful. We were 2 minute walk... more
