It is a beautiful piece of property. Staff were wonderful. A special shoutout to Stephen and Heidi. We stayed early in the week on days that the restaurant wasn’t open. We have been there other times and have eaten in the Safari room and it has been great.

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina
The cooling system did not work very well. There was a parking fee and another hotel amenity fee, which brought it up an additional $80 a day.
