The hotel served as a great starting point for discovering Newport Beach. We had a truly enjoyable experience at the property, thanks to the amazing staff from valet to front desk to management. - the standard queen room we stayed in was stunning and had a nice bathroom.

The hotel as a whole is very nice.

Rooms only recommended with bay view. Standard rooms near the adjacent highway are not recommended, because street noise is hardly bearable!

Overall it was large with balcony. Having a hairdryer, terry dressing gowns, and a shower cap was a bonus.

The peaceful environment and standard room with a queen bed overlooking the water make this place a fantastic choice, positioned in a breathtaking location with easy access to attractions in Southern California.

Good staff everywhere

Charge for internet access is out of date

The bed is very comfortable which lay a thick down/feather mattress above the spring mattress.

The rooms here are newly remodelled and well-appointed, and the bar area is superb, set in an amazing and fantastic location; overall, everything was great.

The setting is beautiful, although there is no real beach at this resort.

We specifically requested black out curtains online, however at the resort after one sleepless night, we were told that none were available.

View of harbor

Charge for everything. Parking, hot tea in am.,snacks, etc. Rather snooty attitude. No complimentary coffee in lobby in am. 2 mornings in a row

The breakfast restaurant here was fantastic with excellent dishes served, and the room had convenient amenities like a safe, air conditioning, and an iron.

@ 1st blush, it seemed like a top notch property. Impression changed after 2nd day. Very kid friendly...noisey pool area, valet pkg. Area chaotic...not an "asult" property.

See above comments + no variety in pillow selection. Shower in tub has no bars to hold on to for getting in & out. Every time air went on, there was a suction noise @ the door!!

Very well appointed. Was decorating for Christmas, and was very eloquent.

Didn't care for all the "hidden charges" (charged $20.00 per day for a fitness center that I didn't use; fax services, and the big one....bottled water in the room) Valet staff actually stood by car until you paid them, yet you paid $28.00 per day for the service. There was a dead bug on our bed once, and a dirty towel in the bath. Informed the front desk, and it was a "oh well....."

Recently renovated rooms with balconies, a complimentary bottle of wine adds a nice touch, and the peaceful atmosphere combined with the beautiful setting make it a great place to stay.

See answers above. Medium size, so no waiting for elevators, or any service. Good discipline regarding dress and general behaviour. Great clothes shop. Concierge Patrick Hynes excellent. Car parking valets very good. Old timers dancing to very good small combo in bar area was very entertaining on Saturday night.

Terrace was almost completely spoiled by large ugly boats parked against dock and obscuring what should have been an attractive view. Smaller boats would be quite acceptable. Rowdy people in the bar area on !8th July spoiled the experience and drove us away.

having stayed at the BBC several times before, I felt like I was coming home, even though I now live on the East and Gulf coasts. Was pleasantly surprised to find I had been upgraded to a second floor room in the "clubhouse," overlooking the water. Delightful room. Great service in the restaurant. Ate in the First Cabin two nights and was waited on by Mike both times, while eating on the patio. Menu is interesting. Fausto took excellent care of me in Duke's.

While very good, neither of my meals in the First Cabin were food of outstanding preparation. And, strangely enough, the seafood selection was rather limited and unimaginative.
