Hotel is very cute and bathrooms are spacious. The ocean view rooms have a connecting door to the adjacent room and have very poor sound insulation. Practically feel like you’re sharing a room with your neighbors. Remind the staff to clean the room, as they forgot to clean mine. Beds aren’t the most comfortable.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay, though there were a few minor issues worth noting. The room itself was clean and comfortable; however, the bathroom had a very strong bleach smell that never seemed to dissipate.
The property is set up more like a motel, with all room doors opening to the exterior, which naturally led to more noise. That said, the hotel does enforce quiet hours, and for the most part, guests respected them.
Parking was a bit challenging. While valet service is available on-site, spaces are very limited, and we were not informed in advance that valet is not staffed on weekdays. This made retrieving our car keys somewhat confusing and inconvenient.
Checkout was scheduled for 11:00 a.m., and when we went to the front desk around 10:30 a.m. to check out, retrieve our keys, and possibly grab something from the café, no one was present. We waited while the phone rang several times and even tried calling the front desk ourselves, but received no response. Eventually, we alerted a housekeeper, and someone came out to assist us, explaining they had been on a Teams call. It was a bit surprising that this was scheduled so close to checkout time, especially given the limited staffing and lack of valet service during the week.
Despite these inconveniences, we still had a wonderful stay. The location is a major highlight—it’s ideally situated near both the beach and the bay and within easy walking distance of numerous shops and restaurants.

Everything was perfect except that when you pay extra for and “ocean view” room, they meant you can see the ocean in the distance, blocked by residential homes. Not what I envisioned I’d get when paying extra for an ocean view.

I travel for a living. I’m a chef and designer. I spend a lot of my nights in hotels or rentals. I loved your hotel from the moment we pulled in. The friendly valet, the colors, interior elements that are both rich and understated all at once, the music, the smells from the bakery, the modest but warm front desk… it all made me feel like I could relax {huge for me}, feel safe, and also feel quietly inspired. And then we went to our room. Right next to the roof deck, our room on the 3rd floor, with the ocean view and beautiful bathroom instantly made me want to stay extra nights. We took a quick nap after a long work day, then got cleaned up and went to restaurant row for dinner. We walked because we could. We enjoyed the great dinner, then came back to the roof deck. We slept for 10 hours the bed was so comfortable! We had brunch on the roof deck, took our time checking out, and while we were sad to leave, we are so happy to have found our home away from home on the Newport Coast. Count us as regulars; we will see you again soon!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The decor was beautiful, the location was outstanding, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout my visit.

One of the highlights was the two ocean-view sundecks, which provided the perfect place to relax and take in the scenery. The property is conveniently located near both the marina and the beach, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. There are also numerous bars and restaurants within walking distance, which added to the overall experience.

I would highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again.

I won’t leave a super long and detailed review, but it was one of the best stays that we’ve had in a hotel in my entire life to be honest. The staff is all really young and with that USUALLY comes inexperience, but this staff went far beyond expectations and would be something you would see at a Four Seasons. They were courteous, engaging, talkative, empowered, and did what was right for the guest at all times. We had a smaller room, but the decor was nice, the toiletries were amazing, and the small touches like the beach basket and the cooler in the room were next level. If you have a chance to stay, I would recommend without a doubt. It is our go to hotel. I’m moving forward if we come back to this area.

Everything was great but I only had 2 cons: no microwaves in the rooms and the valet parking. I was more unhappy with the valet parking as I parked my own car on my 2 night stay, I still had to pay for both nights and feel like the parking should be included in the hotel stay. $55 a night for a VERY small area and had to park my own car.

Fabulous stay. Love the room, comfy nice bedding, and big bathroom with turkish towels. All the staff was wonderful. Shoutout to the tall blonde valet guy. He was great. I reserved a bike and tried to ride it but Im too short. But he took photos of me in front of the hotel with the bike and he was so sweet. The location was excellent. Right on the bay and within steps to the beach. I love all the little extras. A cooler, tote bag, frisbee, beach towels, umbrellas, and rental bikes all included.

That boogie board really made my beach trip memorable! The staff were all super helpful and accommodating. I loved staying here and could not recommend it more.

Nice if not dated looking motor lodge. The location is great and the rooms are comfortable and clean. The front desk staff and manager are very nice and gave great service. The location is great if you want to spend some time at the beach, cruise around on bikes, surf or paddle in the bay. There's a great selection of restaurants and bars nearby ranging from very fancy to casual.

WOW what a great place to stay. Found this last minute on Expedia and has to be one of the most unique and best hotel experience I've ever had traveling. Super friendly staff, great amenities and the location is 2nd to none

From the time we stepped in the front door, Warren made us feel like we were home. He was very welcoming and had so much to share about the area. The hotel is small and we lived that. There was a on old-school elevator in the property that was fun to experience, while we usually took the stairs just because. Beach supplies are available to use free of charge if needed. Parking is limited, but welcome to Newport Beach Hotel only has about 8-10 spots for $20 each a night, but we just parked in the street and walked or rented a bike to get around. Very peaceful and nice place to stay. We’ll be back for sure.

Charming property with extremely friendly staff. Felt less like a hotel and more like a bed and breakfast. Convenient to shopping and dining.

A taste of what growing up in Newport used to be like- relatable, not fancy, fun, community and next to the. beach. Rooftop deck is best place to eat (bring to-go food, AAROn, Warren and Tracy made us feel like family, watching free DVDs, 24/7 water and coffee and beach equipment & good breakfast-we felt at home. Hope the. new owners don't go boogie-boutique when they update the place this fall.

Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel has a vintage So. Cal. surf culture vibe, lots of boogie boards to borrow, and laid back amenities like cute table and rocking chair outside your room. You can walk a block to the beach on the Newport Peninsula, walk a few blocks to rent a kayak to paddle around the bay, or down the sidewalk to eat by the Pier, or walk down the other side to the Balboa Island Ferry and funzone. Great places to eat and play within walking distance.

Cute and comfortable

It was a very nice place to stay. You can eat breakfast on the rooftop with a view of the bay and a little of the beach. Staff was very friendly and the hotel offers rental beach gear which is nice.

Kristin was extremely hospitable. We arrived early and were able to store our bags while we explored the area. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Let's of family-friendly amenities (beach toys, chairs, and towels) made it easy to cross the street and spend time on the beach. 10/10 recommend

Well located hotel, great staff with some nice extras but the noise from the road kept us awake and also people playing basketball in the park next door at 1:30 and 4:00 in the morning. Also when we booked there was no mention of $20 a day parking fee.

Property is so unique, great location and excellent option for a small family or mini vacation. Growing up spending time in the area, I truly hope that the new owners keep the property as is. Staff were excellent and the property needs to remain, not everything has to be updated to new, Bay Shores is iconic and should be a historical property and kept intact.

We could not stay, no parking on premises or around hotel. Want my money back. We checked in but did not stay. NO WHERE TO PARK CAR AND THE HOTEL DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH PARKING. They book more rooms then they have parking for. Bad experience and not a 4 or 5 star location.
