AWESOME Location with options!
Awesome location right across the street with at least 4dining options and a cafe nearby. It's all about location, location, location with this place! It's modern, hip, and offers bikes. Book a room before it sells out!

Good value
Great location and easy with the digital check in. Friendly helpful staff.
Nice restaurant choices nearby.
Con - needed dusting under beds, could have used more light around the vanity- but still good value

Great location just across the street from Newport Beach and walking/running path. Many dining options and coffee shops in walkable distance. Ease of access to anything as this location is on the main PCH.

This place is awesome. Staff is friendly and cool. Walking distance to the beach and one of the better breakfast diners I have ever been to (Crappy's). 2 blocks from the beach. Can't do better for the fare.

Super noisy as hotel faced very busy street - hotels solution: “we have complimentary ear plugs and a ‘noise machine’”.
Pillows were terrible and water pressure not great. Pool looked dirty. Extreme amount of noise from rooms above and around our room.

This hotel was convenient for us having an event on Balboa. I loved the walking to the beach and the Vacancy Coffee shop nearby was incredible. Good dining options close by- but on weekend things open late.
The front desk people were great- and helpful.
We had a room on the backside and it was quiet.

Liked the location. Property is dated and could definitely need an update. Beds are super soft, bathroom is dated and the toilets are tiny LOL. This location had staff and that was really nice. They were very helpful. Felt safe there but you had to make sure the side door closed behind you and it didn't always do that. Overal an ok place to stay.
