We really enjoy The Doryman everytime. It’s our favorite get away Hotel. The only thing that could be better is the coffee set up earlier in the morning. 8am is a bit late.

Noise level is high, for a mid-week, off season visit. Noise is not high from outdoor/tourist traffic, but from staff themselves. Evening/overnight staff were extremely loud and unpleasant.
It's not the best spot to travel with a child, as there are many stairs and you have to park off site (through a busy parking lot). Additionally, there are no bathtubs.
Pros are the location, can't beat it and the breakfast was sufficient. There was also a lovely woman staffing the desk during the day-appreciate her!

We loved staying at the Doryman's Inn and it is a fabulous location! It has the perfect vibe for the name and it has very comfortable facilities. We felt very secure and enjoyed our stay. One issue for our room number 8 was the location on the street with a lot of parking lot and street noise. However the ear plugs we were given from the front desk really helped the situation and we were able to get good sleep. It was so nice to see the ocean driectly from our room and to watch the sunset in the evening. The continental breakfast was well done.

I came to celebrate my anniversary. I was contacted by Lauren before my stay and was offered packages for our special night. I decided not to get the packages but the option was very nice. Also, after speaking to Antoinette at the front desk she had informed us that she could help book a fishing trip at one of the local charters, unfornately we were only staying the one day and could not take advantage of this perk. The room was very cozy and we loved the old style decor. The location is great, TONS of options for drinks and dinner within walking distance. The view of the beach right outside our window was amazing as well. I would highly recommend and will be looking to stay again for another special occasion. Another cool thing is it is right in the heart of downtown Newport and you feel like a VIP having a private entrance up to your room right off the main street.

The rooms are above the Main Street at Newport Beach. It is very noisy at night from the revealers on the street below.
Also the “breakfast” was very minimal. Nothing hot except coffee/tea. Not what we expected from a Bed and Breakfast.

A lot of homeless people around, felt unsafe. And conflict at parking after the previous team let go.

We loved our stay here. Doryman's is a unique property in a spectacular beachfront location. We felt like we were staying in a historic mansion. The staff was courteous and helpful. The room was immaculate, comfortable, and well appointed. Nights can be noisy because of the surrounding bars and restaurants, but there are many choices and we didn't have to drive anywhere. Parking is limited due to the location but there are spaces reserved for guests as well as a loading area directly in front. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning.

Charming, kitsch, gem. Beautiful rooms, very comfy beds,perfect California sunset view, in room fireplace and falling asleep to the sound of pacific waves- what’s not to like? Excellent restaurant downstairs with in room options. Was a solo business trip but would highly recommend for romantic weekend or anniversary. Only feedback clearer communication when booking on how to park. Everything great would definitely go again.
