Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The room was comfortable, but maybe not as outstanding as expected for the price. The service was a mix of friendly and a bit surly at times. The location was convenient for exploring Newport Beach, but not within walking distance of all amenities. The dining experience had its ups and downs. The hotel facilities were decent enough.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were beautifully spacious and clean, offering a comfortable stay, but the Bay Club pool can get noisy with children. The service had its ups and downs, from a rude encounter at the beach club to incredibly friendly staff at checkout. The location was convenient for access to OCAirport and Hwy 1, although lacking in local dining options. Dining was a highlight with delicious options at the A&O kitchen, and the facilities were generally good.
I couldn't have been happier with my stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable, offering private balconies with breathtaking views of the waterway where you can watch rowers, seals, and yachts sail by. The service was top-notch, with the staff being both accommodating and knowledgeable. The location was perfect, providing easy access to the airport and highways while being a peaceful retreat away from the beach crowds. The dining experience was delightful, especially the options at the bay-side Waterline Restaurant. However, the dining prices were on the higher side. Overall, a fantastic stay with exceptional amenities and a prime waterfront setting.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were nice and comfortable, although I had a couple of minor issues that required the engineer to come twice. The service was impressive, especially the quick response to the elevator incident, even with a crowd of tourists cheering us on. The location provided convenient access to various activities and dining options, but the beach was not ideal for swimming due to the presence of yachts. The dining experience was unforgettable, particularly at the A&O restaurant, and the facilities were top-notch.
