The staff was friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the location as we could simply walk across the street to the beach or walk to nearby cafes and restaurants. The room was just what we needed.

We stay here annually. Location is convenient, probably the main reason to book here. Rooms are comfortable. Carpet in the halls could use a cleaning and the AC was a little noisy this year but those are my only real complaints. For first timers, parking is tight so plan for smaller rental vehicle to prevent struggles.

It’s a basic room, like one you might stay in if you were undercover and just needed a spot to sleep before you went out searching for clues. You don’t stay here because you want a vacation. But the bed is clean, the toilet it clean, the shower is clean. It works.

Nice remodeled hotel with a European flair. A little noisy close to the highway with road noise. Close easy 5 minute walk to the ocean beach. All in all I’d stay there again.

Across the hwy from the beach was easy enough access. This area is a 45 minute walk or 6 min drive from newport pier where most of the restaurants and shops are. I preferred being slightly away from that while still being able to access Eat Chow, Tide Poole, Vacancy Coffee and Cappy's with short walks. Staff was friendly and helpful! Beds were comfy, but showers could use an upgrade. Overall great experience :)

Great location near the beach. The room was clean and the bed is extremely comfortable! I especially liked the Davines products from Italy in the shower! The lounge is cute with complimentary coffee. The staff is lovely and Mike upgraded my room to a quieter one, which I appreciated. The area is extremely safe in a residential area. The parking is $30 but free street parking around the area. I would stay again to enjoy the beach and pool.

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.

The staff that was there was very accommodating, the room smells good, but not cheap air freshener kind of good, Its more or an herb, or a flower maybe, smooth and friendly for my allergic nose. Theres a restaurant next door that opens early and close late and they have good choice of food as well. this hotel is very convenient, although you can hear your neighbor, I will still choose it over any other hotel nearby.
