Strandhotels in Newport Beach

'Love it'

'Right on the PCH with great sunset views at walking distance. '

'If you’re like me and you prefer boutique hotels over big brands, this place delivers. Plenty of character adds to the appeal. Small room but the patio really extends your living space and was private. I was disappointed to learn that the restaurant/bar were not yet open under the new ownership. I probably would have booked it anyway for the charm and the location. Just up the beach from Dana Point and convenient to local coffee shops and stores within a mile.'

'Really cute property and nice staff. Love the wine hour and boutique feel. The rooms could be a little more comfortable. For example, the bathroom light switch stopped working in the middle of the night. Also, honor snacks are a thing of the past and a little offensive given the cost per night. Just put some bottled water and a few free snacks in the room. I would stay again though. Overall, we had a good experience,'

'Steps away from the pier, beach and shopping. The room was super cute, spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking was very simple and that was my biggest worry booking a hotel by the beach. We parked in the meter parking at the beach to spend the day at the beach then checked in and quickly and easily moved the car to the hotel parking right after check in, which had valet, so easy! We are talking about booking this every summer from now on.'

'I was really disappointed with my stay at the Marriott. While the staff was polite, the room was not what I expected. The view I got overlooked a noisy container area and parking lot, so it was really loud. Considering the price, I expected a much better experience. I hope they address these issues in the future.'

'Had a great stay! Staff was excellent, room was perfect for a quick beach getaway with my teenage kids. The location and convenience cannot be beat!!! Loved it!!!'
