After a terrible experience a few years back I have made it a point to read reviews before making reservations any where. I am sooo glad I did so this time as everything I read came to fruition. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Very comfortable bed and very well kept premises. Before I left I reserved two more... More

Not disapointed with our accomodations here. Nice and friendly staff. Clean rooms and charming hotel. Breakfast and coffee to start the day and a rooftop lounge to watch the sunset. Location - 1 block to the beach and restaurants within walking distance. Nice personal touch with postcards from the staff! We will be back! More

As one other review put it, this hotel feels like a bed and breakfast. There are many plusses from the location, to the deep pile carpets in the room, the array of beach stuff for guest use, the free dvd library, the atmosphere of the place. The rooms are small but well designed and furnished, a good flat screen tv... More

I was impressed by the attention to details throughout my stay - from a warm welcome, to an incredible recommendation for dinner at Sol Grill Restaurant, turn down service complete with chocolates!, a comfortable bed, nice amenities, free DVDs and a one-block walk to the beach. Only there for 1 night, I wished I had allowed more time there. It... More

The hotel was about what I expected. I read the great reviews, but by the looks of the place I knew it wasn't going to be luxurious.

This is an older classic "beach hotel" (well, motel, really) that has been modernized for the current day traveler. I didn't have the "WOW WHAT A PLACE!" experience that some people seem to have had but I travel very, very frequently and I also stayed only for a short while and during the off season so I didn't avail myself...

I stayed there for a couple of days during the off season. The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is very cosy. I will definate stay there again More

We booked a last minute trip to Santa Ana for business & pleasure and arrived late on a Friday night so we stayed at a hotel near John Wayne, Orange County airport. On Saturday morning we drove to Newport Beach and just walked into Bay Shores and was warmly greeted by Bridgett. We were able to book a room for... More

We flew into LAX and fortunately immediately picked up a rental car and traveled about 45 minutes to check in. Being at the beach after the long flight was awesome. The hotel was very reasonably priced and perfectly located. We were able to enjoy a short walk on the beach to get to a great restaurant. The next morning, we... More
