Everything needed updating; however, it was a clean room. If we didn't need to be close to the harbor (Catalina Express - to take us to Catalina Island), we would have chosen something nicer for the same price. Would not stay here again unless we needed the boat ride. More

Stayed a few days in August and again for a week in November...a bit disappointed both times. Family in area recommended due to a coupon. Great price so booked the 2nd trip. Asked several times for an email confirmation because I wanted proof of the price since it would be Thanksgiving week. Each time, was told they were too busy... More

The setting overlooking the marina was beautiful, but the accomodations left something to be desired, particularly considering the price of the room. It was clean and roomy, but the towels were cheap, furnishings were old, and while we had a small refrigerator there was no microwave. The continental breakfast was quite limited, I've had better at hotels charging half the... More

Stay for a night last week. The hotel is really old and worn. The view of the harbor is obstructed. If your expectations are a motel 6, then you won't be disappointed. Rooms have very thin walls so you can hear all your neighbors on both side and especially above. More

Free parking. Normal free breakfast. Great location. Frig in room. CLEAN! This was a great place to crash. Not a romantic, hang out all evening kind of place. It is older but the windows were so clean you could not tell if they were open of not. I would stay again. More

The hotel is the only hotel on the marina side and close to shops and restaurants. It is older but our room was clean with a balcony and kitchenette. The staff was very helpful. The rate was very reasonable since you could not touch a room in Newport, Laguna for that price and have it not be a dump! Continental... More

After reading the reviews of this hotel, I was dubious about going. It was rated 2 diamonds by AAA. I stay at 3 diamond only and above. Well this was easily 3 diamonds or 3 1/2 stars. The room was huge, overlooking the marina, 2 Queen beds. The decor was lovely and the bathroom new , expensively done, and clean... More

Picked this place randomly, as we were going to a wedding nearby. Yeah, I checked out other places. One night. Ritz? Montage? When all we needed was a bed??? This place was PERFECT!!! The location is THE BEST!!! Right on the Marina. Restaurants, shops, so much activity...I loved that I could just walk out the door and be on the... More
