My husband and I stayed for one night to celebrate our anniversary. I mentioned our anniversary upon checking in and we were ... upgraded to an ocean view room. We also received a complementary dessert. When we came back from dinner, we went to the lounge for a drink. The entertainment was great! We were pleasantly surprised. Great location. Comfortable bed. Staff was just a little slow to deliver things to the room, such as a coffee maker.

Save the $29 Valet Fee and park in the nearby mall lot after checking in. It's literally at the end of the entrance to the hotel.

Fashion Island was just across the street! This outdoor mall had everything. You had a lot of options for dining as well. If you are shoppers like us you will love this hotel location.

--shopaholic couple, Detroit, MI Aug 12, 2009

Dining tip, Short Drive

There's a restaurant called "The Beachcomber at Crystal Cove" right on the beach, that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is very good, casual atmosphere and of course, such a lovely view. You can park across from the PCH and either take a shuttle ($1.00) or enjoy the walk to the restaurant.

Excellent Choice

Flyingman Aug 28, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

I was between the Island and the nearby Marriott. For the same price I chose this hotel mainly because it offered free ... internet as opposed to the Marriott's typical nickle and dimeing everything. I'm glad I did. It was a first class experience, the rooms were comfortable and quiet and the staff was very friendly. Perfect Choice.

resort style

Angie Aug 14, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

I was very pleased with Island Hotel's very plush stylish rooms. The staff was pleasant and efficent, our room was quiet and ... overall we had a great stay. I usually wouldn't select a large resort style hotel for my personal vacation, but the smaller boutique hotels in Newport Beach were all booked this weekend. This hotel is in a quite suburban area next to the mall and not super close to the main Newport Beach tourist areas. However, if I was staying on business I'd give it an A+. It's walking distance to a few nice restaurants like Roy's at the mall.

Excellent accomodations. There was easy access to shopping, beaches and other scenic locations. We found a lot of options ... for dining from our location whether it was within walking distance or a simple 10 minute drive. The customer service was excellent and very attentive to our needs. The entire staff was welcoming and very friendly. I would definitely stay there again. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

St. Regis blows them away

Mommy I want you Aug 5, 2009

If you love to shop this is a good spot for you. This hotel is located amidst various highways, so there's traffic noise; ... try to get level ten or higher (and not above the lounge). All doubles are directly across from the elevators. There are tons of stores and great restaurants within walking distance. At "Fashion Island" there's probably 200 stores and twenty restaurants. No programs/activities for children. At F.I. the kids can enjoy the koi pond, carousel ($2.00 a ride, get tickets before getting in line) and "dancing fountains." This is a lovely place with views of the ocean. The food court has about a dozen fast food places and you can dine outdoors by a wall of falling water or by the koi pond. For fine dining you have Canaletto (so good), Fleming's and Roy's. Considering all the dining experiences within a ten- minute walk, after dining at the hotel restaurant once, we always left the hotel to eat. The hotel food is very average and pricey. The restaurant's outdoor dining would be nicer without the maintenance truck traffic and gas fumes. Some staff are exceptional - That means you [...]! -(bellmen, valets), but overall I don't think this hotel merits a 4.5 star rating (except for lobby bathrooms - very nice!). I'm jaded, because our last stay in the area was at the St. Regis, so coming from that perspective on service, amenities, restaurants, etc., this hotel is nowhere near those standards. One day leaving the hotel at 10:00am, and returning at 10:30pm, we found our room still hadn't been made-up. Getting Disneyland tickets from the concierge was laborious and time-consuming. I suggest buying tickets on-line (same price, and you can't "lose" them). We felt we made a poor choice on this hotel. For a few more pennies you can experience nirvana at the St. Regis. p.s. Near "The Montage Resort" in Laguna Beach, you'll find the most lovely ocean walkway and beach - stunning! This beach is good for children as the bay is fairly calm and has great tide pools. You can park (for a fee) in front of the resort rooms.

Its in a convenient location in Newport Beach. Next to Fashion Island Mall, but a view of the Ocean in the far ... distance. Excellent service provided by all staff members. Rooms are well appointed, but the premium king rooms are smaller than I would expect for an upgraded room type. We found the fitness center very well equipped and not very crowded with nice windows overlooking the property. The concierge was very helpful and made our stay very memorable. Great value for the money. We booked through Orbitz and received a great rate.

Russel Jul 5, 2008

This 5-star hotel, centrally located in Fashion Island, is the only one of it's kind that allows pets! We travel with our 2 ... year old dog and she loves this hotel. Now that we've visited 6 times, she knows where the elevators are and rides them like everyone else. The staff provides waste bags and a very large grass area for the dogs to congregate and leave messages. With Balboa Island just a mile away, and surrounded by numerous shops and resturants, this hotel offers everything we need for a relaxing vacation spot. Staying on one of the upper floors also provides a wonderful view of the Pacific ocean and marvelous sunsets.

Quick tip

Value Hotel

Horace Mar 10, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

Hotel staff was very impressive and the room was alway kept clean. I believe this hotel was a great value. The location was ... great. The room service, hotel bar, and hotel restaraunt was a bit spendy. The staff was always eager to help with directions, dining suggestions, ect.

Money savers tip, Short Walk

Save the $29 Valet Fee and park in the nearby mall lot after checking in. It's literally at the end of the entrance to the hotel.

Fashion Island was just across the street! This outdoor mall had everything. You had a lot of options for dining as well. If you are shoppers like us you will love this hotel location.

There's a restaurant called "The Beachcomber at Crystal Cove" right on the beach, that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is very good, casual atmosphere and of course, such a lovely view. You can park across from the PCH and either take a shuttle ($1.00) or enjoy the walk to the restaurant.

For something a little different, I would recommend La Habana for dinner or lunch. Great Cuban traditional dishes. A little closer is the Tommy Bahama restaurant, which I would highly recommend for a great lunch!

Talk a walk to Fashion Island (a couple of blocks away). There are several dining and shopping opportunities in that area! The in-house dining is a bit pricey, but only a few blocks away is some very reasonable and delicious food!

Money savers tip, In Hotel

Plan on paying about $29 a night for valet parking. There are no other parking options for this hotel.

Close to a number of great restaurants in Newport. The Island Hotel has a courtesy shuttle to local restaurants. We went to Mastro's Ocean Club. The bar area is very popular with the locals. A bit of a wait for a table, but lively atmosphere and great food. http://www.azeats.com/mastros/
