This property is just ok. Thr property hasn't been updated in a while lots of wear and tear and you can tell there's not much effort to improve. Staff was just there, not very friendly except at the bar, the staff was great. Our room had an odor that you can tell has been there for a while. The major positives, walking distance to everything! And million dollar views.

We had a wonderful stay from July 12–13. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive from check-in to check-out. The hotel’s location is its biggest advantage right in the heart of Newport Harbor and within walking distance of restaurants, shops, historic sites, and waterfront attractions. It made exploring Newport incredibly convenient, especially with our family. The room was comfortable and the atmosphere was relaxing. We will definitely go back again.

Our family was there during July 4th. Hotel was fully booked but staff were nice and we had a smooth check in. Location is amazing, close to the action at the warf. You could watch the fireworks from the yard luckily. They say the pool was heated but was chilly to my standards. Hotel was clean but you could tell the property was dated. The HVAC was pretty noisy when it would come on at night. Overall good value for money.

I was disappointed to find a significant amount of mold in the air-conditioning unit in our original room at the Newport Harbor Hotel. The staff did move us to a different room, which I appreciated, but it was inconvenient to pack up all of our belongings and relocate after we had already settled in. I would strongly recommend inspecting all of the air-conditioning units throughout the property to ensure this isn’t a more widespread issue. My mother, who was traveling with me, has severe asthma, so the mold was very concerning.

The place is in need of some upgrades. Wall paper peeling and hallway carpet needs cleaning. I guess I paid for the view of the harbor. Bathroom tub could use an upgrade. Room was smaller than I had expected for the price. I’ve been in better places for less money.

We paid $2,583.44 for four nights, which works out to about $645 per night. At that price point, I expected a much higher standard of maintenance and housekeeping.

The biggest disappointment was cleanliness. Housekeeping did not do a thorough job cleaning the room. We found used tissues under the nightstand, hairs in the bathroom, and one day our room was skipped entirely. The towels were also well past the point where they should have been replaced. Beyond cleanliness, the room showed signs of deferred maintenance, including a deteriorating bathroom door and an unfinished-looking shower head installation. We also stayed on the third floor on the harbor side, where the Wi-Fi signal was so weak that our devices could not stay connected, leaving us without Wi-Fi. That was a major inconvenience since I needed to get some work done. None of these issues are acceptable at this price.

On the positive side, the air conditioning worked extremely well, the shower had excellent hot water and pressure, and the front desk staff were genuinely helpful. The hotel’s biggest strength is its location—it’s within easy walking distance of Newport’s waterfront, restaurants, and shops.

Overall, the hotel has a great location and friendly staff, but poor housekeeping, maintenance issues, and unusable Wi-Fi made it difficult to justify a rate of $645 per night.

This place has a great location. However, our room smelled like bleach and wet dog. The staff was very helpful. In addition, it truly needs a remodel job. Our bathroom seemed to be remodeled a short while ago yet the wall shelf was very unstable and the outlet needed to be replaced. The furniture definitely need some new vibes that are equal to the reputation that Newport has.

This hotel is extremely outdated. The furniture in the room looks like it’s from the last century. The bathroom ceiling has peeling paint, and the bed doesn’t feel very sturdy.

What bothered me the most was the towels. They were so old that they looked stained and dirty, even if they had been washed, which made me uncomfortable using them.

Overall, I was very disappointed with my stay. I definitely would not recommend this hotel.

Overall, our stay was decent, but the hotel could definitely use some updates. The rooms felt outdated, and the bathrooms are in need of renovation. The Wi-Fi was also very slow, which was frustrating at times.
That said, the location is excellent and one of the hotel’s biggest strengths. It’s within walking distance of just about everything, including Bowen’s Wharf, making it easy to explore the area without needing a car. The staff were also very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our stay, which made for a positive experience. If the hotel invests in updating the rooms and improving the Wi-Fi, it would be an even better place to stay.

Very tired and old hotel, despite the steep prices. Not charming at all. Feels more like a 2 star outdated hotel. Old and stained carpets, vending machines that do not work. Also found hair on our bath tub, in a very crammed bathroom. The positive point is the location and adjacent parking. Still not worth about $850/night for two double beds.

The location is wonderful! Can’t beat it. The size of the room is very good. I like that there is a refrigerator and option for coffee. (They serve fresh coffee in the lobby but it was nice to have a Keurig in the room) the bathroom was sub-par. Had to remove the stopper in the sink because water wouldn’t drain. It stayed shut. The shower was extremely tired. Cheap, Lyme build up on shower head. We did not use it. The hotel itself needs updating. For $600 for one night I expected more. But… I love the location.

Due to my husband's health they did provide a 1st floor room which had been updated. Much better. We were paying top $ and Kudos to the Front Desk staff who quickly responded. The property and rooms are well maintained and all staff is helpful and friendly.
Great Location and views of Marina and boats. Hotel next to Bowen's Wharf which has alot of boutiques and restaurants. Weekends Band plays till 1 a.m. and sound is evident. Know what you prefer before you book.

The location of this hotel is great as it’s walking distance to many restaurants/bars/shops. The room itself is clean but outdated. Mattresses are way too soft and should be upgraded.

For the price that you pay for your stay, the rooms are dated. Our tub didn’t drain, so for a family of four showering, the last family member was standing in a tub full of dirty water. Water pressure was poor. Tub was filthy. Our room faced the boardwalk and you could hear the bars playing music until 1am. Toilet clogged frequently, when the service custodian came to take a look they seemed very irritated and inconvenienced by the task. All in all I wouldn’t recommend and wouldn’t visit again. We were charged for parking, and had difficulty getting in and out. Only redeeming quality was the location to Bowens Wharf.

The view of the harbor! The sunset was different everyday. The light was changing all day long and some sailboats were beautiful.
The vent of the air-conditionner could have been a bit cleaner but we came after a busy Memorial Day weekend, so that may have been overlooked. The room itself was very clean.
Sitting outside by the fire pit was a plus. Having breakfast in the hotel was so convenient.

For the price, the rooms and properties were quite worn, beds uncomfortable, water rusty on check in - and the walls were very thin. Location is excellent - Walking distance from all the things you'd want to see. It's Probably a great spot if you're planning to go to the bars and need a place to pass out after a few, but not a place if you want to relax. On the plus side they offered to move us to a quieter room, but a hotel that costs over $400 a night should be clean, new, quiet, and relaxing.

Conveniently located by shops and dining, but grossly overpriced. Room was small and outdated. Linens had stains and towels had a stale/not freshly cleaned smell. This is closer to what I would expect from a $150 motel than a place priced at the nearly $400 we paid.

Parking is also in a paid lot that is shared with the public, which I mention because if you are arriving late or visiting during a busy time you may struggle to find parking or be without a place to park.
