Boutique Hotels in Newport Beach

"We always enjoy our stay here. We've been coming for years. We now have two wonderful places to stay right on the beach in Newport. Also, the restaurant is divine! Parking at Dorys is free after 2:00. Lots of eateries and things to do. You can walk to Lido or Balboa in 10 mins. Last, their rooftop view can't be beat. It's wonderful to watch the sun set. It sits on a very active corner. They give you ear plugs if you're a light sleeper, but things settle down at night. "

"We really enjoyed our stay. We wanted to be right at the Balboa Pier, Whale Watching, Fun Zone and ferry...and we were! Everything was a five minute walk, and we were right on the pier. Our balcony overlooked it and the ocean in the b.g. beyond the parking lot. If you don't do valet, you can park nextdoor in a variety of lots. The staff was sooooo nice! They made us feel right at home. And the food in the restaurant was very good. Maybe a little pricey, but the portions are generous and the service was excellent. Now, the rooms could use some modernization and touch ups, but for us...it didn't distract from our good time. It met all of our needs. Our balcony and location were well worth the price. I would, however, advise on new carpeting in the rooms that have it. There's a bike rental place downstairs and a cool taco / margarita bar that stays open until midnight. Plus, other restaurans within walking and the Newport Pier is a 10 min. walk away. Stargazing and fishing on the Balboa Pier at night. By day, the ferry gets you to Balboa Island in 5 mins., then Fashion Island is a quick drive for shopping. The Balboa Inn is in a very safe area. Lots of affluence. You can walk and bike at night in safety. We've already decided to stay here again in the fall. "

"Awesome place for wife and kids! Excellent staff."

"The staff were the best. The room a little small for my liking."
