The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom is very old and dated. The floor made our feet dirty if we walked barefoot. But then again we were near the beach and I guess that’s par for the course.

Hotel was a good price. Cheapest. Nearest to Beach they also have beach cruisers bicycles. You can rent from a local vendor for about $20 for 24 hours that are located on the property just call Jason 949 -612 -8389 for bike rentals they don't serve any type of Continental breakfast, but there is plenty of other places to eat around the area

Place was an older building but the rooms were updated and great layout to your car. The service was fantastic and the roof top sitting area was cool after hours! Restaurant next door was good too.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Newport Channel Inn! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a beach day. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by great coffee spots and restaurants. Parking was super easy with the convenient onsite lot. We especially appreciated the beach towels and chairs the hotel provides—such a thoughtful touch that made our beach days even better. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be staying again!

The hotel is one busy street crossing from the beach. They also have chairs, beach towels and boogue boards available to use. The room we stayed in was in pretty bad shape, warped floor and flooring that has been falling apart for some time. The rooms are very dated. Sound proofing is good but not enough to block out the groups of bullet bikes that like to rev their engines on the highway in the evening. The bed is mostly comfortable, but the linens are pretty stiff. We elected not to stay a second night and find someplace more tranquil.

Been Coming here for over 30 years and although its been different owners throughout the years this place is a gem! It’s nice to see the new owners keep the original colors and set up. Walking distance to beach and they lend out towels chairs and umbrellas! I will continue to come here whenever I want to stay at the beach. Love it!!

Pros: Friendly receptionist. Great location, only a short walk to the beach. Easy reservation, check in, and check out process. Good wifi connection. Park and restaurants nearby. Cons: Thin walls- you can hear the neighbors and every car that drives/races by making it very difficult to sleep. Clean bedsheets but traces of sand were consistent in all 3 of our beds. Poor ventilation in dated bathroom with what appeared to be mold.
