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.

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!

The shower was cold and limited TV Chanel’s , plus the guy that was in the Office had very limited English and could not walk into the office , had to talk to them from outside through a glass window . Room itself was modern and very clean . The bed was good and sheets clean . The are currently renovating so the outside Is a mess

I liked that it was clean and modernized. Staff was friendly. Housekeeping could have came to bring more fresh towels/ clean the room more often, but when asked they came right away. I would come back! Nice area and good service overall.

Rooms were remodeled, parking was available and well lit. Office staff was helpful. If you need anything just ask. The photos on Google are old. This hotel is under new ownership and is currently being worked on daily. This remodel is not a disruption. We really enjoyed our stay.

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.

This place has new owners (thank goodness because the previous reviews were horrible). The rooms are newly remodeled and are more modern and honestly very nice. However, the TV remote is not user friendly, the sign says HBO is included but we could not use it, the roll of toilet paper left in our room was used, there was no phone available in the room to connect with the front desk / owners, the phone number on the website is not active (the male owner said spectrum has not yet hooked them up - but from previous reviews under the new ownership, I feel there was more than enough time to get those connected - they’re important), the toilets have tiles on both sides of the bottom that kept falling off and giving off a FOUL SMELL, not enough towels are provided in the room (luckily my daughter and I brought our own), there were some questionable guests (which is out of the owners control, I assume). With that being said, it looks like a work in progress, overall it was an okay stay, the owners (one man and one lady) seem very nice. Hoping the construction continues to improve.
