Lovely little hotel right on the beach. The location couldn’t have been more perfect! It was great to have parking on site and a secured gated area. The hotel staff was very helpful and it was perfect to have everything we needed for the beach - towels, chairs, umbrellas, etc. There were also bikes to use for free. Very thoughtful water and snacks in the lobby and great spread of coffee and breakfast items in the morning. The room was a little small but that’s OK as we were not planning on spending much time in the room with such a gorgeous beach right out the front door.
We had a very small room with just one tiny window in it. The sheets and linens and towels and everything were lovely and of good quality - just wish the room was a little bigger and then everything would be perfect. Other than that, it was a great stay.

The location at the beach is great. It makes it easy to navigate without parking. Liked the upstairs seating area for watching the sunset. Staff were freindly and very helpful.
The breakfast was a bit of a disappointment. Fresher fruit and healthier non carb choices would improve the offering.

The location is great and the staff is exceptionally friendly and always ready to help you any way they can.
If you are a light sleeper, there is almost constant (not loud!) low-frequency noise that comes through walls and floors. This is normal as older buildings never had very good sound-proofing. If this does not bother you, you will have a great stay.

Amazing staff and location. walk out of the Hotel and there is the beach/ocean. They offered complimentary bikes to ride, body boards, beach towels, sunscreen umbrellas almost everything you need for a day at the beach.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!
the property is a little dated but nothing terrible.

How clean the room! The design was modern.
I wish there was more adequate lighting. Like white light where we can read.
Overall, the room was great.

Comfy rooms
Staff very helpful and friendly
Really comfy rooms and lovely bathrooms. Odd to enter the Sailor suite by main road but it was fine!
Bike was great.
Bath was little deep for my elderly mom!
No bottle opener in the Sailor suite!
Breakfast was basic but lot of waste - know there is no kitchen but all disposable plates and cutlery and eggs in plastic.

We traveled to Newport Beach from San Diego for our 38-year anniversary. We were looking for a hotel at the beach when we arrived. We lucked upon the Newport Beach Hotel, as we were strolling by the restaurants and shops along the boardwalk. Our rate through Booking.com was better than what we were quoted in the lobby. So, we went with that. When talking with the front desk, they offered us two separate rooms and even allowed us to preview each one. We chose the Queen Spa Room, which has a large skylight over the tub/shower and a glass block wall. This brought in great natural light into the room and was really nice. The room was clean and comfortable and the bed was also very comfy. Nice Linens and 4 big fluffy pillows. They had bikes that we could borrow available in the lobby as well as beach chairs, towels and other amenities as well. This hotel is in a building that is over 100-years old. But they way they have utilized the space is very nice. The views in the available sitting areas at both the ground level and level 2 are amazing. Breakfast was also included with our stay. A healthy and selection of bagels, pastries, fruit, yogurt, coffee and many other items. This was an incredible stay for us. We are already trying to book for next year. If you are looking for a very nice boutique style hotel with amazing location and view, you won't be disappointed.
We had no complaints. This is an older hotel building. But they have maintained it very well. the water was being turned off the next day for repairs to piping. But it did not interrupt any of our stay.

Our room was in need of some major cleanup. Could not even take a shower or bath because there was mold and residue in “spa” bath. I was actually embarrassed as I booked this for a surprise for my husband and our 30th anniversary.

Close to the beach.
No windows-could not see the beach
10.0 / 10.0
Sitting in the common area upstairs above the reception area while watching the sunset, was the best part of our trip. My wife will be smiling for days. Highly recommend.
Our room was very small. And no operable window allowing for fresh air to flow was a small downside. Also, the water pressure in the shower was very low.
