Pros: Friendly receptionist. Great location, only a short walk to the beach. Easy reservation, check in, and check out process. Good wifi connection. Park and restaurants nearby. Cons: Thin walls- you can hear the neighbors and every car that drives/races by making it very difficult to sleep. Clean bedsheets but traces of sand were consistent in all 3 of our beds. Poor ventilation in dated bathroom with what appeared to be mold.

Been Coming here for over 30 years and although its been different owners throughout the years this place is a gem! It’s nice to see the new owners keep the original colors and set up. Walking distance to beach and they lend out towels chairs and umbrellas! I will continue to come here whenever I want to stay at the beach. Love it!!

Check in was so easy and the gentleman at the front desk was amazing. He had such a great personality and was so helpful. I read that in the reviews and it certainly holds true. We also loved that they let us borrow chairs, beach towels and boogie boards. It made our beach experience so much better and my kids were excited to get on those Pacific Ocean waves. The location in proximity to the beach is very close. Less than 5 minutes for sure. I would definitely stay here again for all those reason, even over a more "upscale" hotel.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Newport Channel Inn! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a beach day. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by great coffee spots and restaurants. Parking was super easy with the convenient onsite lot. We especially appreciated the beach towels and chairs the hotel provides—such a thoughtful touch that made our beach days even better. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be staying again!

Place was an older building but the rooms were updated and great layout to your car. The service was fantastic and the roof top sitting area was cool after hours! Restaurant next door was good too.

I have mixed feeling about our stay here. While it was super convenient to be in short walking distance to the beach and a tiny playground/park behind the hotel that was perfect for my kids, the room itself was a huge disappointment. The bedding was stained and the floors were absolutely filthy as was the bathroom. Very disappointing for what we ended up paying per night.

We love this property, it is the 3rd time that we have stayed there. The first was rather random of right place and right rate, but since then it's been due to the property. It is clean and well maintained and so cute! They have beach cruisers, boogie boards, beach chairs, and real beach towels to use at the beach. We FINALLY were able to use all of that on this trip. Just by random chance it was the same room as last visit in 2024. We WILL be back! (Only bummer is the local restaurant Spaghetti Bender closed, which was a childhood favorite of my wife)
