Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 01 Sep 2011 rated 10 out of 10.

Staff exceptionally helpful and friendly, loved the gym, lovely view, loved the pool. Very clean and modern rooms.

Positives: Loved that the room had a door that separated the bedroom from the living room.

Negatives: Had to walk past the pool to get to the gym, no valet service, needs a larger menu selection at restaurant.

The hotel was beautiful and clean, the room was well-appointed. However, the staff was less than friendly. The man who checked us in hardly said 5 words to us and offered no voluntary information (like where to find guides, menus, etc.) He seemed irritated when I asked about parking (it costs $18 per night, and the property is isolated so their lot is your only choice, so be prepared!) We went up to our room and started looking around for the typical guides you find in hotel rooms, but there was absolutely nothing.

Positives: The room and public areas were gorgeous and clean.

Negatives: The staff was not eager to help, no continental breakfast provided (i thought this was unusual for the price).

Very nice, large suites. Clean hotel. Very nice staff. Nice to have a free fridge to use.

Nice upscale hotel in a great neighborhood. It is and don't expect a resort amenities but it was a great experience for me.

Positives: It was an pleasurable experience with top notch qualities.

Negatives: The only negative was some of the people attending the hotel were unfriendly.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 30 Apr 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Very comfortable and clean with a very friendly staff. Outside area with jacuzzi and pool are beautiful and fun. Love the location and the overall experience, however there are traps to charge you extra everywhere! If your very careful you can avoid most of them, but the $18- parking per night seems unavoidable.

Positives: Very comfortble beds, bathrooms, couches, towels & liens.

Negatives: The $18- parking seemed too much, $12- internet should be free, $20 breakfast??

This was one of the nicest, cleanest, with large family room and separate bedroom places I have stayed at. Large screen TV in both rooms. Grounds layout, decor in and out excellent. Nice quaint bar that serves the same meals as restaurant was fun and intimate. Great Martinis.

Positives: Newly refurbished, decor outstanding and exceptionally clean.

Negatives: Parking charge.

Hotel was lovely, room was beautiful, clean, quiet, & beds were very comfortable. Hotel staff was wonderful. Breakfast buffet was phenomenal, kitchen & waiting staff were fun & friendly. Pool was okay, a 1/2 indoor & 1/2 outdoor pool (Jacuzzi was under a covering) but was right in front of living room of lobby area. Didn't go in pool. Beaches, restaurants, mall, & movie theaters are all within less than 3 miles. Bring your GPS if you have one!

Positives: Cleanliness, great customer service, quiet, & great breakfast buffet!

Negatives: Parking $18/night & wasn't as close to beach as hoped (only 3 miles away though).

Negatives: We liked EVERYTHING!

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 03 Aug 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

Great little get away, but farther from the beach than expected. Staff was great, rooms were fantastic, and the restaurant served a good breakfast.

Positives: Rooms were spacious, bar staff was great!

Negatives: The view of the back bay was less than spectacular.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 05 Feb 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

Good place for business travelers as it is very near the airport. The beaches are about a 15 minute drive away. If you are looking for a resort-style vacation, this probably isn't the best place to stay.

Positives: Very close to the airport and not too far from the beach. Nice outdoor trail. The fitness center and pool were very clean.

Negatives: Not detailed in customer service: wrong type of room, multiple unknown charges on the bill (which were corrected), Parking is expensive.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 04 Feb 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

It is very clean and the staff is friendly. The rooms are large and I believe they are all suites. Quality furnishings in the living room area and bedroom. The bathroom is well designed. Plenty of room for a family of 4.

Positives: Large rooms with comfortable and stylish furnishings.

Negatives: parking fee was $18/day - too pricey.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 07 Jan 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

Very clean and in a very convenient location, especially for business travelers. The room was fantastic and spacious. I would definitely stay there again.

Positives: Excellent room accommodations.

Negatives: Forgot to activate my key for parking and I had to go back and have them redo it.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 04 Jan 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

The hotel is an all suite hotel with nice spacious rooms that are very well located. We just stayed one night, but I would stay again if necessary. I found the rooms to be comfortable and clean and the staff to be very helpful.

Positives: The fact that it was all suite and breakfast was good.

Negatives: The TVs are old. Time to update to flat screen.

While this hotel served its purpose for my husband and I, I have to say I expected more from a Marriott. The first impression as we entered the hotel was 'wow, this looks pretty nice. Looks like they just renovated'. Then we got upstairs to our room and were disappointed. The outdated decor was just too hard to overlook and overall made my experience less enjoyable.

Positives: Location was convenient, staff was very nice, rooms were a nice size, liked the suite floor plan.

Negatives: The rooms were very dated - they need to be gutted and brought up to date.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 22 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Very nice! Beds and pillows were the most comfortable we have ever used in any of our travels. (Usually bring our own pillows). Breakfast buffet was great! All the staff, from cleaning personnel, bartenders, desk clerks were absolutely the best I have ever encountered. Rooms were very clean! It was a very relaxed trip and will highly recommend this Marriott to all. We could not have asked for a better "getaway" place. I am only sorry that we were not there longer. Spacious Hallways, for people like me that carry lots of luggage. We slept very well, we could have not asked for any more.

Positives: Staff was so accommodating! Breakfast Buffet excellent!

Negatives: Gift shop not large enough!

Great hotel. Wonderful staff that was so helpful and friendly. Plenty of towels around the wonderful pool. Lots of places to sit shaded and keep an eye on the kids while they played in the pool/sun. Expect, however, to (over) pay for all amenities like internet and parking.

Positives: Fabulous staff. First rate all the way.

Negatives: Pay for daily for the internet and $15.00 a day for parking.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 16 Jun 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Lovely room both quiet, clean and well appointed. I like the location to the walking trail nearby. This hotel is worth the three plus star rating in every way. We enjoyed our stay, but were most impressed with the friendly and professional staff. Note the internet fee of $6 for 20 minutes is a bit much. Also, parking fee of $15 a day must be considered. We will stay here again.

Positives: They were sharply dressed, attentive and friendly without fail.

Negatives: Lack of a side entry from the parking area.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 05 Jun 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

The hotel was in a great location for getting around the Newport beach area. The room and hotel in general were excellent for our leisure use including the restaurant, pool and workout facilities. The staff was very attentive to our needs and was always ready to greet us coming or leaving the hotel.

Positives: The hotel was located in a great place for all the activities we had planned. It was a suite which fit our needs exactly.

Negatives: The parking situation was a bit awkward for getting in and out easily.

We had a great trip. The hotel had a great pool and exercise equipment. My kids loved it as well.

Positives: Great location. Close too many activities.

Negatives: Ice machine too far from my room.
