We really liked the atmosphere here.... an authentic Newport Beach experience with the harbor, the ocean. The restaurant was great, the service friendly. more

We found the Doryman online and loved the concept of a beachside bed and breakfast. It was one of the most pleasant stays we've had. Leaving our windows open, we went to sleep each night to the sound of ocean waves. The breakfast was always good and you could sit out on the balcony looking over the ocean and pier.... more

My husband and I made the reservation en route from spending a few days camping in the Anza Borrego Desert. They had a lovely room available, with an ocean view. We booked for 2 nights and since we were staying on a Thursday the first night we were able to take advantage of the lesser weekday rate. The room was... more

We booked a room at Doryman's from their website. Our first night we stayed in room 4. It was a beautiful suite with a balcony access to newport pier and the hussle and bussle of the beach activity. I thought it was a blast to be right at the hub of activity and watch all the people. For the next... more

Doryman's Inn is FIRST CLASS all the way! What a fun location... right at the beach. 21 Oceanfront restaurant is right downstairs... talk about DELICIOUS! such a professional operation through & through.. no wonder it's been rated the BEST in OC for 4 decades!! more

Doryman was a disgrace to the title of Bed & Breakfast. The rooms were below average. The outside noise would not let you sleep until 3-4 in the morning. The phones were not functional. The service was awful. And the breakfast was the worst we have ever had. If you are in the mood for bran muffin, cold boiled eggs... more

Upon reading some questionable reviews about this hotel, I was hesitant to book it. However, the price was right and you can't beat the location(for the area). I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness, comfort and quiet of this hotel. I especially like how they keep each room's door open until the guest checks in to that room. When we... more

Nevermind the French bordello meets Wild, Wild West decor, this place plain sucks. It is directly over three bars (one of which has rooftop seating right ouside the windows of the higher numbered rooms) so you cannot go to sleep before 3:00 a.m. But you better get your winks in quickly because waves of trash trucks come through at 7:00... more

So my husband and I booked 2 nights at the Doryman's Inn - our wedding night + the night after. Being a local couple, and having a plethera of out of town guests, we decided to host family at our house the 2nd day. After we toured the hotel, we asked the "manager" to cancel our 2nd night reservation. Fast... more
