Newport Beach hotels in Balboa Peninsula

Pros: It’s a small place but that’s what makes it wonderful . The staff are amazing and very helpful. Breakfast is great . Would definitely recommend the bay shores and would stay here again

Pros: Fantastic service, clean, many amenities, character and charm, great food, great location

Pros: I chose the Bay Shores Peninsula on a whim, and boy was that a good gamble! The place is really quaint, staff is amazingly kind and attentive, and our room was perfect. There's not a lot of space in the rooms that goes to waste, nice sized closet with small fridge and safe, bathroom clean and well appointed, they even had a little nook turned into a dressing table for us ladies, complete with plugs and a coffeemaker. Good TV plus on demand channels and a wall of DVD movies in the lobby you can borrow. The rooftop lounge area is perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. The breakfast buffet was nice, quite a few choices and good coffee to boot. Plus they make fresh cookies every day, I mean really, it's like visiting family. Parking was a little lacking because there is construction happening, but that is truly out of their control and the staff helps out with that piece as much as they can. We will definitely be back!

Pros: Donna was amazing greeting us like we just arrived home. Gave us a great tour and wonderful tips on all the best places to eat. Thanks to Donna we had a fabulous birthday getaway weekend.

Pros: I decided to book this place because I could only find raving reviews about the staff/service online. And I was absolutely thrilled to find that they all exceeded my expectations from these reviews! Now of course, it's not some modern chic hotel - it's a local surf hotel. So don't fancy lobby. Rather it's like you walked into a relative's house. Comfy couch in the waiting area, board games, books and DVDs that are all free to borrow, and a desk with a computer you can use. There are also boogey boards, pails, beach chairs and towels you can borrow (no charge)! And the rumours are true... freshly baked cookies each afternoon! With fruit infused ice water too. The breakfast was great for me. Simple, but delicious. Toast, bagels, boiled eggs, cereal, tea, coffee, fruit. And of course jam, peanut butter, cream cheese, etc. to spread. I was VERY surprised that there was a handwritten note on my bed when I got into my room, welcoming me for my stay. Everyone was so incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure I had a really wonderful stay. I even had almost 20 post cards to send - some international, some to U.S., and Donna got me some stamps right then and there, and even helped me put the stamps on, and then took care of the mailing for me! Plus, it's a very quick walk to the beach, and I could even faintly hear the waves from my room at night. The rooftop is great to watch the ocean while eating breakfast, and a GREAT spot for the sunset! I took a glass of wine up there, and wrote in my journal as the sun went down. Absolutely recommend this place, and would love to be back soon! thanks for a great stay!

Pros: Great staff, loved the nautical theme, the room was clean and comfortable. There is obviously a lot of care taken to provide a good guest experience.

Pros: Engagement with Newport beach culture, nearness to the beach, extraordinarily kind and warm staff

Pros: The Bay Shore Peninsula Hotel is probably the friendless hotel we have ever stayed at, if not #1 it's tied for #1. Extremely convenient to the beach, shopping, dozens of restaurants and whatever you might need are probably within walking distance.

Pros: The location was excellent - right across the street from the beach. They provided towels, beach chairs, umbrellas for your use at the beach. Breakfast was provided in the morning and they had a very good variety. Your could either eat in or go up to the rooftop area to eat your breakfast or just have coffee. It was clean and had lots of chairs and tables to sit and view the bay and the ocean. Loved it. The staff was extremely courteous and very helpful, especially Warren. Great representative of the hotel! Gave us lots of tips for restaurants and excursions. Coffee and cookies are provided in the reception area which a plus. It's always that extra touch that is important. Had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend for a getaway weekend or longer stay.

Pros: Awesome rooms and very well appointed decor and location is awesome. Very beachy and luxurious feel.

Pros: The hotel itself is darling, but not a good value for the money. At $550/night, parking should’ve been cheaper, the pool should’ve been more luxe and the pool bar service should’ve been substantially better. Like many things in Newport, it’s a really cute facade with not a lot of depth behind it.

Pros: Was OK, but not brilliant

Pros: Would never stay there again, they tried to over charge us by nearly 2000.00, they lie about everything and try to hustle you to pay more for rooms that they don't give you, for example 100more per night for a pool view, king bed, we got a queen with a Hugh tree in our balcony to not see anything, they said it was the're version of a king bed, what a joke! At this time we are still in dispute with them.

Pros: Very little although there was good parking

Pros: It is a great location central to shops and close close to beach.

Pros: The location makes it very walkable to the beach and various restaurants.

Pros: Location was good. The people at the front dest were not the greatest I have met before. We had to wait for someone to come to the front desk to help us. We did not like having to add $100.00 to our bill fo some kind of security. We have never had to do that before. Probably will never pick this place to stay again. Have a good day.

Pros: It’s walking distance to all the bars that you need to go too. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that needs a nice vacy. There are amazing restaurants and it less then 200 feet from the beach. You will have the day covered when you stay here!

Pros: The location of the location was excellent the room was perfect the balcony was a bonus representing

Pros: It was close to the beach, a block and a half or so. Room was okay, was clean.

Pros: Great location

Pros: Centrally located to everything that we like.

Pros: The rooms are remodeled and are real nice. Close to the action.

Pros: Clean and nice. Decorated in upscale amenities.

Pros: LOCATION!!! Steps from beach, coffee, bars, restaurants. Super clean room. Lots of pillows. Bikes and beach items available for use. Good wifi. FREE parking which is a huge plus in this area.
