What guests think

At Newport Beach Hotel, travelers consistently praise the prime beachfront setting with easy walkability to the pier and restaurants, warm and helpful staff, and convenient beach gear and bikes that make relaxed, short stays simple and fun.

Rooms are typically small and cozy with some standout oceanfront views, but thin walls, nightlife noise, and dated or quirky fixtures appear in multiple reviews. Cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent, ranging from very clean stays to reports of odors, stained linens, mold in jetted tubs, and worn furnishings. Amenities are handy, yet accessibility and logistics have trade-offs: many stairs and no elevator, plus limited paid parking that can be hard to secure. Expect a charming, beach-first stay with a few trade-offs.

Hunter did a great job of checkin & went above & beyond to try & secure a parking space near the property. GREAT location, walking distance to a great selection of restaurants and shopping. I took my laptop and grabbed a spot in front of building and was able to watch & hear the waves - very relaxing and would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is located on the beach at Newport beach. There is a small parking lot at the property that charges per night. Street parking was very very easy to find, street parking is charged from 8am to 6pm, we parked on the street. Coffee in the morning was excellent and the water station was cold and great tasting. The hotel is older, which adds to its charm. It is not handicap accessible, and would be difficult for senior to navigate the many many steps.

There are a lot of stairs and ADA accommodations are lacking. The thermostat was broke. I called the front desk several times over 3 day stay and was never fixed. It was a constant 65 degrees or lower. The room was freezing cold. The step into the shower was so high I could barely get in. The breakfast was good and it is right across from the beach.

Perfect oceanfront location!! They provide beach chairs and beach towels which is awesome! Unfortunately, the condition of the hotel has plummeted. Ownership needs to do a complete repair/remodel on this entire property. (Photos are from day 1 of arrival).

This is a charming old hotel that sits facing the Pacific Ocean. The room was lovely and very quiet. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Please note: Parking is an additional $30 per night which I did not know at the time of the booking. And there are two flights of stairs to the rooms. Staff can help with the bags, if you are arriving/leaving between 7am-Midnight.

Amazing location - really right on the beach. Older hotel. You can hear other guests in their room. Our room was nice, but tiny, as was the bathroom. The hotel provided beach chairs and umbrellas - great touch. We stayed one night - fine. Would not want a long stay here.

Before booking know this hotel does not have air conditioning. The room was 10 degrees hotter than outside, so for a hot day in the 90's it was unbearable. There were 2 fans in the 2 bedroom suite, that were inadequate. The bathroom had mold on the tub tile walls, ceiling and a broken window in the shower. You share a patio with the people next door. When we walked on the floor for a second our feet got black, not sure what this was. The hotel is unique, but needs a big update. The staff was polite and seemed caring.

The toilet had an aggressive leak so a large puddle formed. The management did repair it the following day. The bathroom drain was extremely slow in rm 108 and needs Draino. The heater didn't work very well and didn't maintain a warm temperature. The flooring is buckling and we tripped on it a couple times. I understand California is saving water but why was the bed not made up for us or trash emptied for the second day?

The location was excellent. The furnishings in the family room and dining area were awful and unclean. The chairs were broken. The dining table was stained with watermarks all over it. The sectional was dirty. I have pictures and all the furniture was beat up. It’s just too bad there was no care taken. I cleaned the windows myself. They were so dirty. The ones that were on the doors so that we could look out and see the beautiful ocean. It’s a shame. It’s such a nice location. The description was hyper clean. It wasn’t hyper clean not even close. It was only acceptable because I cleaned it. The bathrooms were fine. The bedrooms are fine.

Compared to the other beach-front hotel in Newport Beach, the Newport Beach Hotel falls short. While guests have access to seating and open windows facing the beach, the rooms are small and the bathrooms are smaller. We heard music from the restaurant next door, there was a smell in the room, and the cold water knob in the shower fell into my partner's hand. This hotel is not worth the price. I prefer the other hotel - the room rates are similar but the rooms are much better.

Room was updated, but building was older…the floor had areas where the wood had come loose.

The view was nice, wish the room could have been more comfortable for the price.

Our room (109) was not comfortable: there was no couch in the room (we had to sit on the bed, which is unusually high from the floor), no counter space in “the bathroom” and in general, the room is outdated, the shower, the bedding and towels are quite old… The parking is also inconvenient for a few reasons.

My wife and I were excited to experience this hotel near the beach but once we went inside with our luggage around 4pm the receptionist (a woman) had a mis understanding with me and my wife about staging our luggages then after was giving us by attitude and was very rude In conclusive to this it ruined our experience and by far our day. We drove so far and it was also our Anniversary Day. After this I will not be recommending with hotel with any of my colleagues.

This hotel is a gem - it's close to restaurants and the Newport Beach night life. It's older - reminded me of some of the San Francisco hotels. Rooms have sparse furnishings and tiny bathrooms. They are missing out not having a bar or food service - because they have amazing views of sunset and Catalina - you'll have to go next door to get the food and bring it back like we did. But we will definitely stay here again!

Excellent location if you’re looking for a fun beach trip or spring break friends and family vacation. I was there for work and while I was happy to be near the water, it was a bit difficult to sleep because of the noisy party goers. I made due with a white noise app. The Continental breakfast was perfect and the service was excellent. Aside from the crowds, I wasn’t able to open my window for some fresh sea air also because the smell of grease wafted in from the neighboring pubs and restaurants.

Location, location, location was excellent! The hotel was built in the early 1900s, but the facility was beautifully updated. Our room was very attractive and obviously remodeled. Parking was challenging --- for a Dodge Ram truck --- so I called ahead and reserved a suitable parking space for the two nights ($30 per night). The staff was very knowledgeable and very attentive. The only disappointment was the breakfast. It was a cold continental breakfast. The hotel website says "Beachfront bed & breakfast for sun and fun." Breakfast was cold hard boiled eggs, packaged pastries, packaged muffins, assorted breads, and granola. For a 3 star property, the breakfast was less than 1 star.
