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!

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.

Good value for money.

Was a quick stay & was wonderful . Loved how close we were to the beach. The heated pool is small but good enough for some laps. Loved your lounge area.
