Newport Beach Hotel, A Four Sisters Inn
Everything was great except the shower/tub combo in room 101. It’s dangerous to climb up & down steps to step down into or up out of the tub. Also, the shower head is way too low. Other than that, it’s a great place to visit Newport! We will be back!

Balboa Inn, On the Beach
The staff were extremely friendly! Upon arriving I realized that I did not add our children and we ended up in a room that was too small. The staff immediately switched us to another room and accommodated our needs! We are extremely satisfied with the staff. We will definitely return!
