Disliked: Cleanliness
Room was basic, but functional. It wasn't very clean-- it needed a good dusting and the floors were covered in sand/dirt. The undersides of the bed or under furniture hadn't been cleaned in ages and were very dirty.
Full access TCL TV that auto signs you out if you login into your accts its a great little room very clean but extremely simple - that staff seemed to honestly care about doing a good job i dont know if that means just be a good employee or care about you sincerely but every one was extremely nice
ADA VIOLATIONS & HARASSMENT
Not disability friendly, staff was extremely unpleasant, staff parks in the handicap spots, $30 for additional parking every night per car and rooms/hotel did not look like the ads and or photos.
Safe neighborhood easy parking. Close to Laguna beach and other beaches

That photo is NOT the Newport Beach location.
Staff was pleasant but lazy. Luggage cart was "missing" and employee "just didn't know where it could be" and did not look for it! Parking rate jumping to $30/night from $20/night is extreme. Still, sign reads park at your own risk. Refrigerator froze bottled water, could not adjust that temp.
