We love to visit to the Newport Beach area several times a year and for the last 11 years or so we have always stayed at this motel. The location is great, easy biking distance to the beach and Newport Pier, plus very close to the 55 or PCH.

On this trip, as all past ones, the room was clean & good sized, and there was no noise or any problems at all.

The staff has always been wonderful and extremely welcoming. In fact, we hadn't been able to go down for almost a year and when we returned last October, we were greeted like old friends. Not sure what staff members other reviewers could have encountered, but Mike, Nargis, and Midge are warm and wonderful people. We will be back!

Nasty hotel!

Ridiculously Cheap People. Bath tub and shower was painted with latex paint and was falling off, sticking to our feet.

Gross bedding, at least 10 years old. Sink barely drained. Every noise could be heard due to the lack of insulation.

Free breakfast amounted to dry cereal, milk and shrink wrapped muffins served in lobby that was barely 20 square feet.

Oh, don't dare not check out on time...... they will remove ALL your personal affects and store in laundry room!

This was the most disgusting hotel we've ever stayed at. the bathroom was filthy, the shelves hadn't been cleaned in what looked like years. Mirrors smeared, the bath tub full of cracks and rust. The shower head was black and didn't work, ceiling vents windows sills filthy from years of dirt build up. I've seen gas stations with cleaner toilet bowls Shower curtain had mold on it. refrigerator was defrosting and full of water.Only got two small towels, when asked for more we were told there was a limit. No ice maker. Room was large in size. Bed was comfortable, office staff Very rude.

I will list the good items first.

The room was a bit larger than average. The bathroom was ok. The room had a frig, micro, coffee maker. Internet access (yea!!). The bed was comfortable. Lots of chairs. A very good selection of Cable channels. AC worked.

The bad. There were a few small holes in the wall and a panel that had been cut out of the wall was very obvious the wallpaper was done badly. The pool shut down at 7PM! The staff that was on at 8PM was not friendly, nor were they accommodating.

This motel would have rated much lower if it had not been for the front desk clerk that was on at 4:30AM the next morning. He greeted me with a smile and was very helpful. And, no I will not stay there again.
