This hotel is everything a hotel can be to ruin a perfect vacation. We had bayview rooms but were not warned that there would be a barge working on the bay for two days, 24/7. Our room faced the bay, alright, and had the most exquisite sound effect of dredging, ALL NIGHT LONG. Then, when we asked to change rooms,... more

In typical Marriott fashion, the Marriott Bayview had pretty much everything I needed to make my business trip to Southern California to meet with a client comfortable and restful. The early morning view of the bay was a nice touch and the staff were friendly. more

My husband, my 1 year old son and myself booked an early Father's Day trip to Newport Beach. I won the hotel on priceline.com for $70 a night (you can actually win it for $60-$65). This hotel is BEAUTIFUL and all the rooms are suites so their is a bedroom, living room, balcony and LARGE bathroom! The bed is SO... more

This is a simply wonderful hotel. It has been recently remodeled and the rooms are spacious and beautiful. In fact, the entire hotel is beautiful. Somebody really put a great deal of effort into the interior decoration. Each room is a mini-suite with bedroom and living area, separated by french doors (with frosted glass panes for privacy). The beds are... more

We were in Orange County to visit family and I lucked out getting this property on Priceline.com. We were thrilled every second of the time we were there.

Stayed 3 nights at the Marriott in March after winning a bid on Priceline ($65 per night + tax). All of the rooms are suites with a separate room with a king bed, flat screen TV, and then a main sitting room with a pull out bed and flat screen TV. The bathroom had a bathtub and separate shower. The... more

We stayed here this past weekend for Valentine's Day. It's towards the east end of Newport Beach where it is practically Irvine but the location was convenient for my wife being close to shopping in Costa Mesa and Irvine as well as Newport Beach. The room is a small suite, and we had a king bed which basically took up... more

I was shocked to see several so-so reviews of this lovely hotel. We stayed here for two nights in early January 2009 and we LOVED it! What a beautiful setting and what lovely rooms! We loved the separate sitting area and separate bedroom, the spacious bathroom, the heavenly smelling toiletries, the plush mattress and luxurious bed linens, the beautiful grounds... more
