What guests think

Across reviews, Newport Bay Inn is praised for clean, no-frills rooms, modern updates in some units, and friendly service, while recurring downsides include thin walls and nighttime noise, occasional pests and odors, and a neighborhood some guests find uneasy.

Rooms are basic and sometimes small, with mixed comfort and occasional maintenance issues such as loose fixtures or smaller-than-expected beds. The location is convenient for Newport and near shops and dining. Expect a straightforward budget stay with trade-offs.

The owners are very friendly. The inn is next to a Stater Bros for easy access groceries. I have never had any trouble finding a parking spot. Issues to be aware of are internet connection is not and the rooms are very small . I have stayed here numerous times over the years and will return again .

To my surprise, the interior was as modern and as clean as the 3-star hotels I've stayed at. I messed up and lost my room card, but they were cool about it. I don't suggest pushing your luck on that, though, because it clearly states there's a $10 charge for losing your room card. It's not too bad on the exterior either; there's just normal people going about their business.

Last night got up to use bathroom turned on the light and there were roaches around the sink and microwave..Put our stuff away making sure roaches had not gotten on or in, this was at 3:00 in the morning got to bed finally then the couple next to our room got into an argument and he left slamming the door. I guess we have to be grateful it was our last night. Told the lady at checkout about the roaches and she acted as if she didn't speak any English..

The only real positive was that it was conveniently located near our destination. I guess the bad smell and the room condition are what will you get when you try to shop for a budget overnight stay. But my wife and I have decided never to low ball again. The room had that cigarette smoke plus perfume smell which is pretty off-putting, the sink was majorly cracked. In two different directions I'm not even sure if it's dripping down underneath. And almost all the furniture is chipped and worn, and the leather chair to sit there is cracked very badly. The air conditioner didn't have a fresh air mode so we kind of just had to suffer through the smell all night with the fan on.

Hotel room was pretty big loved it. The only downfall was the beds were smaller than I thought. I booked a room with a queen size bed, but it felt/ looked like it was a full size bed rather than a queen

The toilet ran the entire time which is very annoying. It's a bit sketchy in the neighborhood. If you need a cheap place, it will work. It was clean enough. The walls in the bathroom were dirty.
