100% current - state of the art elegance . Clean. Sharp.

I liked everything about about the stay. The staff was very helpful

The perfect spot in the OC for a little get away. Getting a room that overlooks the waterfront and the beautiful boats is a treat. Not to mention all accomidations included.

Always a relaxing and pleasurable stay at the B.B. Club

Very nice hotel & Excellent staff. Restaurants were great too but I wish they have more in their menu. Overall, great experience

Missing amenities for the price of a resort. Not impressed wish we had gone to the Marriott Villas.

This hotel was very nice. A bit expensive for my usual taste but I booked it as a gift to my mother during her wedding weekend. It was right off PCH and the beach. The bellmen and valet were very nice. Front desk - not so much. But otherwise a great stay.

Great staff, and a quick drive to the beach. I would love to stay here again if I'm visiting Newport Beach!

Most staff was nice. Shower was uncomfortable, only warm water. Very loud being next to California 1/ pacific highway. If you don't have a lot of money not a good hotel to be at, other guests and staff turn their nose up at you. In brochure they said robes and slippers. No slippers were provided and one robe was removed and never returned.

One of the greatest resorts in newport But unfortunately the last day when we wanted to check out The employee ask us to pay around $150 hotel fees !!! FYI We did already pay everything for our stay 4 nights through orbitz so why do we have to pay additional $150?! She told us the fee is for the WIFI and the 2 complementary evian bottles of water!!!! We were shocked and surprised all this amount for a free wifi and a $10 bottle of water!!! This is the only thing we were disappointed about

This hotel was fantastic! My family Was in from NY and we decided to spend the night for my birthday! It was perfect, the staff was amazing, the location was perfect for sunset drinks, and the restaurants had quality food. They accommodated all ages from 79-30, but the best part was how wonderful they were with my dog!! There even was a gift bag with everything he would need. Wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful stay at BBR! Staff was very friendly and accommodating, we will definitely come back soon to stay!

The location is great! They need to vacuum under the beds, hasn't been done in a while. Staff is very friendly and helpful for the most part. One thing that was annoying was having to pay a service fee for every day I was there. This needs to be included in what I paid the third party company. I planned my budget ahead of time and this threw me off.

We had a lovely experience at the resort. The atmosphere is casual and not pretentious. Staff is friendly and accommodating. The rooms, pool, and lobby were well maintained. I was there for a wedding and had my hair done in the salon. What a great hairdresser she worked with me until I was happy! Highly recommend Balboa Bay resort!

Upon checking into this lovely establishment, my spouse and I, both doctors, were approached by an elderly woman who asked, "Are you to guests of the hotel?" I'm sure it had nothing to do with my tattoos, as she simply walked off once we convinced her that we were. Wow! Talk about an awkward profiling moment. Thankfully the view from our room was amazing, so the bitter old lady became a passing thought.

Beautiful hotel and surroundings, relaxing, perfect place to recharge

Hotel Staff was very nice and efficient. Hotel is going through a lot of construction. View is nice, location is good. Call to see if construction is complete before booking.

Excellent customer service! We got a good deal for this hotel 25% off and they still treated us amazing. The young gentleman at the front hooked us up with a water view room with no extra cost and took off our resort fee. The pool was awesome and the room quiet and clean. Can't wait to go back!

Hotel staff was great, great views of the harbour and very relaxing atmosphere! Will stay again soon!

perfect location with perfect weather. Can't get better than this!!
