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: The staff and customer service were amazing. The room and facilities were very comfortable, it was like being at a home away from home. The location was very close to the beach. The rooftop deck was lovely for eating breakfast and taking in the views. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

Cons: The bed was kind of old and made lots of noise. Not gonna say from what, but it’s a bed for sleeping only
2.0 Mediocre
Pros: The hotel was quaint and we did have an ocean view room.
Cons: The room was extremely small and the bed was very squeaky and uncomfortable. We did have an ocean view room which was nice but what that ended up leading to was a front row view to an extremely loud night crowd that carried on their partying until 3 am. Loud voices, talking & laughing, roaring of engines and so on. How do you have a romantic evening with your husband in a B&B with all that going on? From what we were told by the front desk staff, the party crowds are regulars and not much they can do to fix that due to the nearby local bars. I would think the police could do regular patrols and send those people home if it's obviously a regular problem. They offered a free night stay for the inconvenience but why would I want to go back and experience that all over again??

Pros: Awesome rooms and very well appointed decor and location is awesome. Very beachy and luxurious feel.
Cons: Arriving Friday night in the summer, looked like a scene from real housewives and bumping house music from the bar. Security guards in the lobbby didn’t make for a very reassuring feel. Had to move rooms b/c too loud in first room from the rooftop bar. Breakfast place doesn’t open till 8am, not too kid conscious with families who have kids that are up early.

Pros: Hotel itself is an ideal location very close to the pier and right on the oceanfront boardwalk. Perfect for sunset views. It has an older beach vibe, that is not new and modern, but clean and the king room was comfortable and well equipped with amenities. In peak season the area would be crowded and noisy. The staff arranged to park our bikes in a garage and the hotel has a private parking lot, a big plus for the area. They also accommodated an early check in which we appreciated.

Pros: Location, it caters to the beach, eateries, pertty much everything in Newport. My Wife and I are always out and about when we are in CA. So all we need is a room to sleep. Don't need a pool because the beach is walking distance. Don't need breakfast because you have all sorts of selection of great food around you. Don't need an gym because you can cruise on a bike or take a walk/run on the beach. Best fits our needs

Cons: Because it's on the main Blvd, noise can be an issue. I'm guessing depend on which room you are in. Do have firm beds, which I prefer but the wife didn't. Personal preference I guess
1.0 Poor
Pros: It was close to the beach, a block and a half or so. Room was okay, was clean.
Cons: Room was INCREDIBLY noisy. Busy street on both sides and no double-paning. Cars were maybe 10 feet from my window, so opening the window was impossible, and the AC sounded like a tractor running in the room. It was impossible to sleep. Never again!

7.5 Good
Pros: Great location.
Cons: The room was a good size, but it was quite bare. Furniture was astonishingly beat up, nicked and scarred. Window blinds were one layer and opaque, so either you closed them and had no light, or everyone walking past could stare into your room. For more than $200/night on weekdays, this is not what you would expect.
6.5 Good
Pros: location was great and staff excellent!
Cons: Bathroom plaster was flaking off. 1980 jetted tub that does not look like it work but would be a fool to try given the appearance. Heavy dust on vents.
3.1 Mediocre
Pros: The location of the Inn is great, right in the centre of Balboa. The inn itself seemed charming but we unfortunately had a terrible experience here.
Cons: Having arrived at the hotel with three rooms booked, confirmed and prepaid, we were informed the hotel was sold out, that we should have been notified of the cancelled booking and nothing could be done. The staff made no attempt to relocate us, offer us any kind of compensation and in fact were rude and condescending. A frustrating and disappointing experience all around.

5.0 Okay
Pros: Bed was comfortable.
Cons: Too long for hot water. Shower head stung. Room was too small, which made it difficult to open luggage. Had to request luggage stand. Booked far in advance for a 4 night stay and was put in a postage stamp size room with a view of an earthquake damaged brick wall. Was offered an upgraded room at checkin for $50 more a night when the hotel was basically empty.
