We enjoyed the hotel but I must admit we didn't spend much time there. It was comfortable and cozy with a magnificent view but what we appreciated most was the location. Everything we wanted to do or see was right there, excellent restaurants, wonderful boutiques, musical venues plus sightseeing within walking distance.

I may have been lucky but the few staff members that I encountered were very polite and helpful. I can't remember the ladies name but at that time in June 2011, I wrote the hotel to express my gratitude with one of their employees for offering to drive my husband and I to a nearby attraction.

Needless to say, August of 2012, we intend to so back to Newport and stay at the same hotel. I hope that we receive the same courteous treatment we received in 2011. We'll cross our fingers!!!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 1 night. It was a very comfortable room and we were pleased with the room, but not entirely with the service. The man behind the front desk was rather cold and not helpful. We requested a room with a king size bed instead of 2 queens and he told us no because we had requested the best rate available (AAA) and that it would be more expensive for us to get a king size bed. I dont think i would ever pay their rates to stay there during the summer, but it will do if you are going in the fall or winter. I would recommend staying at a B&B instead though.

A quick review- I had never stayed at the Newport Harbor Hotel but just wanted a quick get away for New Years Eve where we could park and walk everywhere. This was it. The location was great all kinds of little shops and restaurants within walking distance. We also got the package for the night which included a dinner. I must say the dinner far surpassed what I thought is was going to be on a night like this. I enjoyed every course. The bar and the DJ was an added bonus. We in our 50's and enjoyed and danced the night away. I would not hestitate to stay at this Hotel again. A big thanks!

We stayed here for the first time because it was a hotel and not a B&B because we had our children with us. Normally we stay in a B&B but we were taking the kids to the Polar express train ride so we thought a hotel would be better. I was a little disappointed with the hotel, everything seemed small. The elevator was small/tight, the room was small and the bathroom was very small with no vanity just a pedistal sink. There was nowhere to put your stuff. The hotel was clean and neat but nothing spectacular. The pool area was very dark and was under construction which was understandable being the off season, but very dark, a little creepy. The restaurant was very nice, the prices reasonable and the staff super nice at the restaurant. Overall the hotel was ok, but I would not pay the summer prices for this hotel just not worth that money for the accommdations.
