WOW what a great place to stay. Found this last minute on Expedia and has to be one of the most unique and best hotel experience I've ever had traveling. Super friendly staff, great amenities and the location is 2nd to none

Charming property with extremely friendly staff. Felt less like a hotel and more like a bed and breakfast. Convenient to shopping and dining.

So close to the beach! We were able to walk to restaurants, pier and other places from this hotel. Staff was friendly and rooms were clean. We could even get beach towels and boogie boards daily at no extra cost.

I like this location to the Newport Beach pier. The hotel is clean and staff are friendly too. Only breakfast needs to be improved, sometimes no fruits.
Will come again here

Nice if not dated looking motor lodge. The location is great and the rooms are comfortable and clean. The front desk staff and manager are very nice and gave great service. The location is great if you want to spend some time at the beach, cruise around on bikes, surf or paddle in the bay. There's a great selection of restaurants and bars nearby ranging from very fancy to casual.

A great spot for smaller families looking for a spot near the beach. Beach Towel, umbrella, chair, and sand/surf toys were available for a free check out. That boogie board really made my beach trip memorable! The staff were all super helpful and accommodating. I loved staying here and could not recommend it more.

A taste of what growing up in Newport used to be like- relatable, not fancy, fun, community and next to the. beach. Rooftop deck is best place to eat (bring to-go food, AAROn, Warren and Tracy made us feel like family, watching free DVDs, 24/7 water and coffee and beach equipment & good breakfast-we felt at home. Hope the. new owners don't go boogie-boutique when they update the place this fall.
