We arrived in Huntington Beach and had actually booked at the Howard johnson's( which was a dump). We then went driving around to find a different motel and found the Newport Channel Inn. Stopped in and checked it out. It was very clean, very accomodating, and the employees all very helpful. Very close to the beach and very well maintained.... more

My wife, 3 children and I stayed 3 nights. First impressions were that it was a quaint, clean and safe location. When I went to check in I was greeted and treated very well by the attending desk person. He was very helpful when asked about the local attractions and was very accommodating. This is a motel NOT a hotel,... more

All the positive reviews are spot on! Great place at a great rate! Big room, close to the beach and the best customer service I have ever received. Mario is the best! Don't hesitate to stay here and I will be back! more

Very nice, new lcd tv, marble bath counter. Very clean. Poor cell phone reception in our room...but that is a plus, less disturbance !! more

The room was comfortable, clean, and furnishings were well taken care of. The rooms are spacious with a desk, dining table, lots of chairs, closet, and open area. The queen bed was very soft... more

The wireless WIFI internet access helps to since I have an online business. The phone in rooms I've stayed... more

My son, his wife and his family of 3 kids, my step-son and my wife and I had a great week at the Inn. The kids ranged in age from 3-13 so the back yard play ground was of just as much value as the walk across the street to the beach. The beach access is close and the beach... more

California State Parks has used the Newport Channel Inn for the past several years to house lifeguard training cadets along with staff instructors. In addition, we have used it on several occasions to house students and staff for our EMT Program. Brion and Christine are outstanding owners and very caring people. They treat us like family and bend over backwards... more
