Deluxe room was very small, bed was a twin and no space in restroom. Great area just make sure you spend 600$ or more if you need leg room.

Was given room without working A/C and what looks to be curtains that were ripped off. No phone to call the front office. Was able to switch rooms but after unpacked. Question why would they assign a room that wasn’t appropriate… unacceptable for over 300 per night.

Yes the hotel (seems like a motel) is on the water but for the price for 1 night definitely not worth it. A/C was broken in our room and my other family memebers as well. Paint was chipped throughout the room furniture is very outdated.

Perfect Location!
The hotel's location is fantastic, and it has a charming exterior. While the room could use some maintenance, I wasn't expecting perfection given the hotel's age and beachfront location. Despite some concerning reviews, the hotel pleasantly surprised us with its cleanliness, guest service, and a satisfactory continental breakfast. Plus, there's a wealth of activities within walking distance, making a car unnecessary. If you're looking to explore further, there's a convenient bike rental shop next door that's worth a visit. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location and classic style building Property needs to be upgraded with paint, polish. The a/c was not functioning properly, and despite comfortable outdoor temperatures in mid-September, the room was too hot...with both windows open, no breeze came in to cool things down at night. Breakfast is not even up to Motel 6 standards. I expected a bit more class considering the Newport Beach location and history.

didnt realise the drive to from peninsula was difficult & crowded. The super hot weather wasnt their fault. Room furnishings need updating, & elevator , stairs, hot tub, could all use updating. Loved eating at the restaurant Matera! And really appreciated our server Alex.

I find the packages offered included the rooms with no view etc., I can’t really stay in a closet looking at a brick wall for a view, so will probably not use Hotels.com for rooms anymore. We had the same experience at Newport Harbor & Hotel in Rhode Island a couple months before.
