Erika
Great location
Madison
Great stay!
Nic
Will be our go-to place to stay in Newport. Incredible finishes like staying in a custom home. Great walkability. Wish the rooftop had a bar!
MAGAN
Clean room, great staff, so close to the beach. I loved the coffee shop downstairs.
Kee
great place to stay if you want to walk and enjoy Newport Beach
Andrea
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.
Alexandra
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.

Beautiful charming hotel. Loved the viewing deck. Great access to the beach and pier.
Saloua
All good!
Marla D
Absolutely beautiful
Joy
My new favorite boutique hotel in Newport! So fun and clean. Bed very comfortable, lots of amenities- beach bag and towels, steamer, cooler for the beach, spacious bathroom with great water pressure, kiehl’s brand shower products, roof tops, cafe, and free bikes to enjoy the bike path! Definitely coming back!
John
Everything was great
Gail
Great spot for a long weekend.
Luis
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.
Joanna
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!
Linda
Great location and friendly staff
Lorraine
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.

Awesome hotel! Great location-easy walk or bike ride to the beach. The provided beach cruisers were awesome. Loved our stay.
Brittany
beautiful hotel!
William
Couldn’t really see beach from
Hotel but it’s only a block away and they have bikes you can use to cruise the beach bikeways. Was a lot of fun and enjoyed the location. Had a beach basket with towels and a frisbee, could also get cornhole to take to beach. Really quite fun and the place was simple yet very clean.

Pit spot for visiting Balboa Island, and having all amenities relatively close by.. great remodel!
Brian
Great hotel, wonderful location friendly staff
Misael
The entire staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism, exhibiting a high degree of friendliness, helpfulness, and kindness, qualities that are increasingly uncommon in contemporary service environments. The establishment's proximity to numerous dining options is a notable advantage. We particularly appreciated the enjoyable atmosphere, available entertainment, and the commendable tranquility experienced during the evening hours. Overall, the experience was truly exceptional. My spouse and I anticipate a return visit.
DANIELLE
Parking as expensive ($55), room was small and amenities were basic... but staff was friendly
Wendy
This was the CUTEST hotel. The photos don't do it justice. Brand new and only a block from the beach.
Michael
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.
Christine
Loved our stay at Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel. Such a lovely property in an idyllic location, steps from the beach and many restaurants.
Rooms are renovated and have so many wonderful touches from the terry cloth robes to the beach bags with frizbees and towels. We borrowed an umbrella and chairs to take for our beach day too. They also had cute bikes you could borrow as well! Would definitely stay again!

Melody
Very clean, and aesthetically pleasing all throughout. Staff is incredibly sweet, and the cafe downstairs has great coffee!
Leslie
Everything was amazing. Thank you so much!
Lauren
Spotless. Beautiful property.
Christina
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.
Patrick
Clean room, clean hotel. Staff was professional and friendly. Valet too expensive and HVAC ran all night.
Erin
New boutique hotel that was cute and fun. Clean, great cafe and rooftop patios, and staff was excellent.
Beno
Excellent location and brand new property. The rooms were super clean, bathroom was spacious and the bed was very comfortable to sleep in. Big bonus points for having a full service cafe on the property and complimentary beach bikes.
The staff was also very friendly and property well maintained.

Great view of the city and ocean from their amazing rooftop. Excellent service and great little coffee shop on property. Very safe and minutes walk to the beach. Very cozy clean rooms. Had Ana amazing stay! Definitely recommend for romance!
Honor
We really enjoyed our stay at Bay Shores. The staff were friendly and helpful, the beach was a block away, the bed and pillows were comfortable and restaurants were close by. We walked everywhere or grabbed an uber if needed, great vacation.
Carol
Nobody is answering the phone - there is no way to communicate with the hotel.
They told us to park on the street but failed to tell us we cannot park ACROSS the street. So we got a ticket for $54.

Nordean
Amazing location, literally steps to the beach. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The rooms are superb, parisian beach vibes, especially the bathroom. The bed is very spacious and comfortable. The windows are semi operable, so you can let the wonderful and natural California weather in. Exquisite panaromic views from the outdoor rooftop areas. Counting the days to our next visit at Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel!
Jake
Amazing little hotel! Would stay again immediately. :)
Jennifer

Deborah
This hotel has been remodeled and it is wonderful! Tasha checked us in and she was so friendly and accommodating. Great, friendly service! We love the remodeled rooftop lounge and the new restaurant. The location is perfect and they have bikes to use now which is a great addition.
Melissa
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. I will stay here anytime Im back in town.

MARIA
Disappointed
Lobby's floor was cracked/ old and dirty, as well as carpet. The room chairs had a very dirty covers, wanted to take off but chair was worse, with stains. Didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the bed. Room was small, t.v was very small. No Parking available inside site. Parked on street. I was very disappointed.
James
Allen, Warren, and Willy were great. Room was clean. Great place to stay. Close to everything
Emily
A great spot for smaller families looking for a spot near the beach. Beach Towel, umbrella, chair, and sand/surf toys were available for a free check out. 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.
Carol
Friendly and helpful staff! Close to the ocean and bay!
Valerie
Harming place with a beach vibe. Would go back again. Staff super friendly! Especially Warren.
Malorie
Beach is a minute walk clean and friendly staff
Robert
Great location!
stephen
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.
Lora
Breakfast was great. Rooftop terrace was wonderful. Very close to beach and bayside.
MERCY
Clean, friendly staff, close enough to walk to beach & dining.
Delia
We had a great time! The parking is small but the front desk agents were helpful finding us a spot to park
Rene
Great location, nice staff. Parking is difficult - but that goes with the location.
Victoria
A little pricey for what you get
Only thing missing a pool
Shelby
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
Jeremy
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.
Lisa
Charming property with extremely friendly staff. Felt less like a hotel and more like a bed and breakfast. Convenient to shopping and dining.
Laurel
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.
Shelly
Wonderful friendly staff. Very clean room. Rooftop view area that is amazing! Warm complementary cookies. Easy walk to restaurants, beach, bay and recreation areas. Beautiful view from our room.

Great Location whether boating or surfing, can't be beat.

So close to the beach! We were able to walk to restaurants, pier and other places from this hotel. Staff was friendly and rooms were clean. We could even get beach towels and boogie boards daily at no extra cost.

Perfect spot
Amazing experience. Everyone was so friendly and it had such a welcoming small town feel.

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.

Great place, great ppl

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.
