The hotel looks bad on the outside but the room itself was very nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. The outside definitely does not match the inside. I enjoyed my stay and will return again. It looks like the pictures.

Newly renovated, clean rooms. The only drawback which shows the owners commitment to offering a quality product is still under construction in certain areas.

The room was newly renovated with a modern design and was very nice. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. Close to everything that we wanted to be near. Parking was perfect. We were very happy with our decision to stay at Harbor Bay Motel. The man helping me with checking in was terrific and very helpful. We would definitely stay again.

My stay was overall very pleasant! All the staff I came across were super kind and hospitable, and the rooms are very well kept. The AC worked great, room smelled nice and the fridge actually kept my drinks cold. Parking was also free, which was really nice. Only downside is that I found a stained towel in my room, and the showers don't have anywhere to put your shampoo and soap down when you shower so you either gotta shower with one hand, or put your soap on the floor.

The rooms are newly renovated and extremely clean, however the sheets were stained. Also, no trash can in the room. It was also pretty quiet given that it’s a motel with room doors facing the outside. Staff are was very friendly and helpful.

Clean room was surprised with the inside, when seeing the outside looking a bit beat up, the remote control didn’t work but I didn’t care about tv enough to get a new one

The location was under renovation outside but the rooms were shockingly nice. All modern. When I pulled up and saw the work being done outside and the rood numbers written on masking tape I was expecting the worst. But the rooms are very nice with good bedding. Give this place a chance.

The motel is currently being renovated, but I had a newly put together room and it was nice and clean. There was not a waste paper basket, an oversight I'm sure. The neighborhood's not fantastic, but it's close to Newport and the freeway and was reasonably priced.

Staff is lovely! I’m unsure if the couple running the inn are the new owners or not but either way they’re very helpful! And heads up while they can take other forms of payment for your deposit cash is much easier! We had a lovely stay here, despite being by the main road we didn’t have to deal with loud traffic. The inn is currently under renovation! I got to stay in one of the updated rooms and they’re absolutely stunning. I would say though double check if the fridge is plugged in should you need to use it during your stay!
