Overall a good experience. The hotel has restaurants and mini-markets very close with many more options available within 10 minute walk. Beach is a very short walk away. Only issue we had was someone pulled the fire alarm at 5am.

Room wasn’t super clean, but we only stayed one night so we powered through. Great location to the beach, simple walk across the street! Beds were comfy but room was very basic. The gentleman who checked us in was very nice. Parking lot is easy to find but tiny!

Great place by the beach - 100 steps from your room to the shore. The staff was so pleasant and accommodating they made our visit memorable. Beach chairs and towels available and great coffee/pastry and lunch spot right up the street. Easy walk to the nightlife of Newport Beach pier area. Four day stay and never needed a car. Will 100% return!
Directly across the street great beach!

Overall good.

Overall good experience, great location in my opinion. Just steps from the beach. I feel their parking fee is excessive and their stalls are very narrow. The lobby was warm inside as if they were trying to save power. Second time staying here. Their prices make it affordable.

Be prepared for noise - both inside but as most rooms overlook the Pacific Coastal Highway - it feels like sleeping on the sidewalk if on a lowing floor.
