“Why aren't you there?”

Bay Shores Peninsula

29 Feb 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

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 stay. Number one on the list was the Bay Shores Peninsula hotel.

How lucky for me! I booked the night before, yet still got a wonderful room with a view of the ocean. The staff was polite and attentive (they even gave me a special parking spot for my 997S), the room was large, the bed comfortable, the room quiet, and with it came wireless internet. I got all this for less than half of what it would have cost me to get a hotel near the courthouse.
After a very nice breakfast I strolled down to the beach to watch the waves and prepare myself for the day ahead. The morning temperature was 73 degrees and there were no clouds in the sky. Not unusual, but it is February.

So why aren't you there? Lovely town, great restaurants in the area, warm temperatures, a terrific white sand beach only a block away, and a great hotel. I could have stayed there four days for what it cost me for one night on my last trip to San Francisco.

Thank you Bay Shores Peninsula and thank you tripadvisor.

“What a top place to stay”

Bay Shores Peninsula

28 Feb 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

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 stairs.

Loved the room, looks like it was recently refurbished. It smelled really fresh and clean.

The bathroom products were good quality (Neutrogena), and the bath room was well set out and bright.

The bed was super comfortable and the TV was well positioned for viewing.

All in all, a really great place to stay, only shame was we only had one night there, but next time we are passing through LA, we will definately make time to come back!

“Nifty in Newport”

Bay Shores Peninsula

5 Jan 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

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 right across the street. The hotel has complimentary beach chair, and toys. The room was very clean and comfortable. We were happy just hanging out in our room but there is far too much to do in Newport! We will be sending all of our friends here! You must ride bicycles around town, it's so much fun!
