It was great to be right on the beach and a lot to see and do in the immediate area. The lady at the front desk didn’t have a lot of knowledge about parking in the area besides their own lot. The room was pretty clean and comfy. But it was super loud at night due to the location however it’s to be expected with the bars downstairs. The staff were very friendly.

Everything was amazing. We loved how you could just walk out of your room right onto the balcony or beach. The staff was very helpful and the room we stayed in was stunning. My only note would be that the canopy above the bed blocked any kind of airflow onto the bed, so no matter how cold you had the A/C, you couldn’t really feel it when your laying down which made it really hot.

We loved this place! We actually tried to stay another night but it was booked solid. Super cute. We were on the patio talking to other guests who were there for the second time. It is right on the beach in the thick of things. Comfy bed, nice little breakfast in the morning. We'd like to go back for sure!

We LOVED this hotel. Character meets location. The staff were all SO friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and well updated for a building over 100 years old (ie. enough plugs, efficient AC). Obviously, there are quirks with such an old building (stairs, less water pressure, etc.), but worth it for the charm. Expect a noisier experience with this location but again, so worth it to be situated in the very heart of Newport beach life. We LOVED it! Breakfast is great, rooftop patio is amazing, loved the bath products.

Ultra clean hotel. Charming decor and fully functional. Even the fireplace was ready to go. Enjoyed my brief stay here- would certainly repeat.

Breakfast had good options (e.g., chia pudding, fresh fruit, fresh baked muffins) and hotel coffee I actually enjoyed. Friendly staff. Good dining within walking distance.

This is a small property. If you like charm, personality, intimacy, and relative quiet, this is for you.

People noise may cause you to close the windows at night. Self parking may take some time or you can purchase a reserved spot.

Steps away from the pier, beach and shopping. The room was super cute, spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking was very simple and that was my biggest worry booking a hotel by the beach. We parked in the meter parking at the beach to spend the day at the beach then checked in and quickly and easily moved the car to the hotel parking right after check in, which had valet, so easy! We are talking about booking this every summer from now on.

I can’t say enough how this property was located in the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the beach, along with being in walking distance from everything you need! We were parking in metered parking and were walking around the area since we were early for check in but they were able to release the room early and we paid for parking in a lot for $30. It was more convenient than running down to fill the meter(and meter maids were patrolling the lot). We had a spacious room with a king bed and trundle. Both were clean and comfortable. Large showers and toiletries were provided. The rooms are on the 2nd floor, above a steak house restaurant. The view was partially of the parking lot but off to the right, views of the pier and the beach! The weather was perfect and sunny in the afternoon. There are a lot of food options so everything is walking distance along the boardwalk. The Dory provided continental breakfast(yogurt, chia pudding with fruit, bagels, & muffins, plus coffee and juice. If you like flavored coffees, Newport Coffee is right out the front door! If you have a problem with stairs be aware there are a few in rooms or the hallway to the room. There was an elevator to get you to the second floor but there were a few stairs. I would have given a perfect score but summer break just started so there was shouting and yelling later in the evening. Woke us up a couple of times so had to leave the windows shut.

The room was a nice size, breakfast was good, but you had to be there early to grab something before it was gone, the bed was comfortable. The only thing was it was loud, you could hear everything going on outside and because it was spring break, the kids were out late and it sounded like they were right outside our door. I would stay here again but I would choose a different room or stay when it's not so busy.

We used to love staying at the Doryman, but sadly this was our last time. The area surrounding the inn is just too noisy. It is surrounded by bars and restaurants that stay open late. Even after they close, people hang out in front of the restaurants and talk loudly into the wee hours of the morning. The tranquility that used to exist while sleeping and experiencing the ocean views and breezes, are no longer. I recommend the city pass a noice ordinance or loitering policy that can be enforced.

Staying at Doryman’s Oceanfront Inn was unlike any hotel experience I’ve had before. The property has this incredible old-world Victorian charm that immediately makes you feel transported to another era, yet it still feels cozy and luxurious at the same time. Every room feels unique, full of character, and thoughtfully designed — definitely not your typical cookie-cutter beachfront hotel.

The location is unbeatable, directly across from the Newport Pier and steps from the beach, but what really makes this place special is the atmosphere. Between the antique-inspired décor, oceanfront views, rooftop spaces, and the sound of the waves at night, the entire stay felt romantic and memorable. It’s the kind of place that feels hidden and personal rather than commercial.

The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Small details like the breakfast, fireplaces, and soaking tubs made the experience feel even more special. If you appreciate unique boutique hotels with personality and charm, this property is an absolute gem in Newport Beach.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We had room 2 and it looks out over a beach parking lot and the beach. The pier is literally right there. The early morning fish market, and tons of restaurants and bars. Plenty to keep you going within walking distance.

The bed, the room, and over the top friendly and caring staff, it was all amazing. And each room is different.

Some things to know:
1. There is an elevator

2. Not sure how you can get to the continental breakfast in a wheel chair. There may be an elevator.

3. Room 1 and 2 have stairs inside the room (about three to four steps).

4. To get into the shower in rooms 1 and 2, you need to take quite a step down. This is larger than a regular step. That being said, I really liked the bathroom and shower - and it has a skylight.

5. If you are staying in a beach front room like we did, it gets pretty noisy at night. Bring some ear plugs. From the party goers in the parking lot to the fish delivery trucks and the farmers market set up on Sunday mornings, it was noise that I didn’t anticipate. Bring the ear plugs!

6. If you have to sleep in the dark, bring some eye shades. These are not room darkening window coverings.

7. We had the windows open to keep the room cool at night and ended up shutting them due to noise. And the air conditioning minimum temp is set at 69 or something. So if you are traveling with a polar bear (someone who sleeps in the cold), just beware.

8. The breakfast is bagels, cereal, a FANTASTIC chi

Horrible experience - never stay here. I arrived at 11pm, took long time for staff to let me in despite saying it had a 24hr hotel desk. The staff working was very confused and indicated that I had already checked in. He could not find the key and then knocked on the door that was supposed to be my room, there were other guests staying there that have been checked in earlier. There were no other rooms to accommodate me, and there was no solution provided to find me an alternate location to stay. After more than two hours of waiting, trying to problem solve, with the staff member very unhelpful and rude, I left to go find another hotel on my own. Do not trust that your reservation will be honoured at this establishment.

What we thought was a room upgrade (corner room with spectacular beach views) during daylight hours turned into a nightmare for sleeping as the constant noise from the partiers and motorcycles/low riders late into the night - even on a Wednesday- made for one of the worst night’s sleep ever. Not sure why they didn’t give us the room we reserved since each one is different and we got a double instead of a king
