Booked through hotwire for about $50 a night...I found the room to be very large, very clean and with a fantastic bed: one of those "sponge" tempura matresses where you sink into it and it conforms to your body type (memory foam). Never slept in a bed like that before, so it was a pleasant surprise.

The hotel is situated around a minutes drive from Newport Beach, so its very handy for a vacation there. Next door is an Italian resturant that is popular with the locals.

Only one complaint from me: the noise. Sunday night was fine, but Saturday the traffic on that highway was constant. Simple solution: bring some ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise like me. I did bring the plugs, and I slept like a baby then with their aweseome "tempura" matress!

Would I stay here again? Absolutely.

Trying to find new exciting places to stay in the same old places I travel and booked this hotel.
It is a basic Best Western. I am used to beach hotels in communities up and down california and this is no different. Somehwat old, somewhat rundown, pretty basic and friendly people.
My room was huge, but with the exception of the bed, a desk and chair and a small fridge it was bare. Almost laughable, it looked like my first apartment when I was 19. The bed was hard but they were replacing them during my stay.
I didnt mind my stay here, but I knew what I was getting into, having grown up in Santa Cruz Ca this place didnt scare me. If you are looking for something really nice, you should probably be warned, but it is what it is. That said, I think I will try a different place next time.

My spouse and I stayed here for 4 days for a family wedding. We researched everywhere in Newport Beach and after many hours decided here for the price and location. We had a partial ocean view, which is what it literally was since you could see the ocean through the alley across the street, and the room was nice with a balcony. The staff was friendly but we had called ahead to make sure there would be a fridge in the room, and it didn't arrive until the 2nd day after several phone calls to the front desk. It was easy to walk around to restaurants and the beach, and the Newport Beach penninsula was a mile down the street which made driving into town super easy. Overall I would stay here again.

My husband and kids stayed at this property for a week. My 3 year old got sick on the car ride and we had to stop multiple times before we arrived at the hotel. My husband called on our way to see if they could accommodate us earlier than anticipated. As soon as we walked thru the lobby the staff knew who we were and were ready for us... they even had information for us as to what the nearest pharmacy was as well as directions...Great service from every staff encountered. Once my todler felt better we headed for the beach. Kids were so excited to pick as many beach toys they wanted for the day! This was our best summer family vacation...the rooms were clean and well kept, good waffles in the morning...Thank you Best Western Staff for making this our home away from home. We will stay here again!
