The hotel is simple yet elegant, and the decor reminds me of a castle in Disneyland, in a good way. The outdoor courtyard is a very nice place for food and drinks or just to sit and relax. They have a shuttle to take you to and from the airport, and we were able to use it to take us to dinner. Staff is very friendly and the room was very comfortable. They also have bikes for rent, so we were able to ride bikes to the Newport Bay Ecological Reserve.

We enjoyed our stay and found all staff to be helpful. We had a lovely leisurely breakfast in the restaurant, and enjoyed the pool. We were in town for personal business, and were glad to relax at the hotel as part of the weekend. We paid an extra $30 for a late check out Sunday which allowed us more time to visit with friends. Saturday night and early Sunday seemed to be a busier schedule at the airport, so we were awakened a bit by the planes. Friday night we didn't really notice.Our room rate was good, so we were happy overall. It was convenient and affordable.
