I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was not only spacious and comfortable but also impeccably clean. The hotel's ideal location made it even better. The delicious breakfast provided added to the wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, making it a truly pleasant stay overall.

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

    Room was spacious with good light and very clean. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Coffee bar downstairs is convenient. Location is good and convenient but not luxurious. Free Showtime was a nice bonus.

    I lived in Newport Beach for several years and I wanted to return to see family and friends. So I know the area very well. Newport Channel Inn is not exactly a luxury hotel but if you want a place that is in the heart of Newport Beach, close to the beach, and for a very good price, Newport Channel Inn is the place to go. The front desk staff was very friendly and professional.

    Everyone we met was very friendly, from the reception, valet and Room service. The rooms are big and clean, the views of the lake are so nice! Breakfast at the restaurant downstairs was superb.
