Newport Harbor Island Resort
The rooms were clean and staff were pleasant. Not everyone uses the stairs, however I do. The stairs had dust balls that must have been accumulating for quite a long time. The door knobs were broken and difficult to open. Those areas should be more focused.

My parents who are in their 80s stayed here during a snow storm and the staff was wonderful with them. I know they needed assistance for a few things and everyone was courteous and helpful. The hotel was clean and aesthetically pleasing. I will recommend this location again to future visitors.
