We loved staying here! The beach is right outside, perfect for our whole family. The hotel offered bicycle rentals which made it easy to explore the scenic Newport Balboa Bike Trail. Plus, the nearby shops and restaurants were a hit with the kids!

My kids wished for better soundproofing between rooms.

great views and easy access to local parks

I really enjoyed the amazing views from my room and the short walk to Balboa Peninsula Park, which was perfect for my weekend strolls. this hotel is definitely in a fantastic spot for exploring the area and soaking in the beach vibes while still being close to local restaurants and attractions.

Upon arrival, I struggled to locate the check-in area and had to park in a municipal lot briefly, which was inconvenient. The room I booked turned out to be quite different, with a subpar view and a balcony that barely fit a person. I also found the hot tub experience hampered by outside guests and an unclean environment, which detracted from the relaxing vibe. The lack of a microwave and limited seating in the room left much to be desired for comfort, especially considering the steep price.

I had a great time soaking up the sun by the beachfront and enjoyed the awesome massage services during my stay. The heated pool and jacuzzi were perfect for relaxation after a long day of exploring. The only downside was the older bathroom fixtures that could use an update, but it didn’t take away from the overall fun I had! 😊

Great location near the beach. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the sea view from our room. It was convenient to have our luggage stored after check-out. A pleasant experience! 🌊

Great beach access and friendly staff, but awful wifi made work impossible.

Fantastic location right on the beach! Enjoyed renting bikes and checking out local shops and restaurants. The jacuzzi was a fun bonus!

Great Location and Friendly Staff!

I enjoyed my stay, especially the fantastic location near the beach with great views from my room. The staff were friendly and even lent us beach chairs, making our trip more enjoyable. However, the room could use some updating, especially regarding the older furnishings and the TV that couldn't stream. Overall, a pleasant experience!

The convenient location provided easy access to the beach and nearby attractions, enhancing the trip experience. The continental breakfast featured fresh orange juice and robust coffee, which was a delightful start to the day. However, my room had some issues. the windows were not clean, impacting the ocean view, and the air conditioning struggled to maintain a comfortable environment, contributing to a muggy atmosphere. Overall, some amenities felt dated and could benefit from a refresh.

Charming Beach Getaway with Potential

The hotel boasts a beautiful façade and relaxing ambiance, but rooms could use a refresh. Enjoyed the lovely continental breakfast. Proximity to the beach is superb, making it a great spot for couples. For a better experience, ask for a room away from noise and on a higher floor.

My stay was incredible with a breathtaking sea view from the suite and everything we needed within walking distance. The hotel’s architecture is beautifully charming, too. I could definitely return!

great stay with small room issues

The sea view from our suite was breathtaking, enhancing our overall experience. Staff members were thoughtful and attentive, making our stay enjoyable while assisting with my aunt's mobility needs.

The suite was slightly smaller than expected for the price.
