Usually I stay at small boutique hotels or B&Bs to avoid that mid-price chain hotel drabness and lower perceived value for price. This time the rate at the Radisson Newport Beach was too good to pass up. My mind was re-calibrating my expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed my stay and give the hotel a "thumbs-up".... More

This was a first stay in this hotel and it was in many ways better than expected. The room was very clean, but the furnishings are on the old side. The TV is a new one, however, and offers many cable choices. We didn't hear the planes from the nearby airport. We stayed in for dinner because the fog had... More

This is a generic airport hotel next to the John Wayne airport in Orange County. It's clean enough that I would be happy to have my kids stay here, but it leaves a lot to be desired on the business travel front. Everything closes fairly early and the surrounding area is a wasteland of activity. The hotel also have this... More

I have stayed here a few times with my husband and 3 year old. The hotel is clean, comfortable and in a nice location. It's near the airport. I didnt have any issues with air traffic noise. There is a night club across the street. I did hear a little music the first time I stayed. It was tolerable. I... More

Just leaving the Radisson after a one night stay in an old rather rundown room. It had a cramped bathroom where the toilet and bathtub are wedged in together in to a 5" by 5" room where the door inwards adding to the claustrophobia of the situation. Roadnoise is readily apparent through the windows. Bizarre art deco lamps barely add... More

Stayed here on business a couple of weeks ago (just before Thanksgiving). Have stayed here many times each Oct/Nov and again Jan/Feb. 1st review. Checkin: I'm a Club Carlson Gold Member - check in took 2 minutes - got the room I requested (king bed - all rooms are non-smoke). They also recognised my status and there was a nice... More

Pluses: Very nice staff, convenient to airport, decent rooms, good restaurant, comfy bed, fitness center nice and not too busy. Minuses: Airport noise (check the flight curfew hours at SNA), wifi didn’t work well until I phoned tech support, restaurant is expensive. Also: - Nearby Il Barone restaurant was amazing (but not cheap). - They put up nice signs saying... More

Radisson Newport Beach misrepresents itself. Supposedly there is a newly renovated section. And the hotel represents that it had been completely rennivated. Not true. No one can stay in the new section until sometime in 2012. After speaking with the front desk they offered to move us to a newer room. When we went to look at it, the "newer"... More

We visited for a 3-day training program. The hotel's location was ideal - literally across the street from John Wayne Airport, walking distance to all kinds of quick food/drink spots and close to shopping and the area's beaches. The airport noise might bother some, but the rooms are well insulated and it was not an issue for us. The hotel's... More
