Great spot for a long weekend.

Everything was perfect except that when you pay extra for and “ocean view” room, they meant you can see the ocean in the distance, blocked by residential homes. Not what I envisioned I’d get when paying extra for an ocean view.

I travel for a living. I’m a chef and designer. I spend a lot of my nights in hotels or rentals. I loved your hotel from the moment we pulled in. The friendly valet, the colors, interior elements that are both rich and understated all at once, the music, the smells from the bakery, the modest but warm front desk… it all made me feel like I could relax {huge for me}, feel safe, and also feel quietly inspired. And then we went to our room. Right next to the roof deck, our room on the 3rd floor, with the ocean view and beautiful bathroom instantly made me want to stay extra nights. We took a quick nap after a long work day, then got cleaned up and went to restaurant row for dinner. We walked because we could. We enjoyed the great dinner, then came back to the roof deck. We slept for 10 hours the bed was so comfortable! We had brunch on the roof deck, took our time checking out, and while we were sad to leave, we are so happy to have found our home away from home on the Newport Coast. Count us as regulars; we will see you again soon!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The decor was beautiful, the location was outstanding, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout my visit. One of the highlights was the two ocean-view sundecks, which provided the perfect place to relax and take in the scenery. The property is conveniently located near both the marina and the beach, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. There are also numerous bars and restaurants within walking distance, which added to the overall experience. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again.

Couldn’t really see beach from Hotel but it’s only a block away and they have bikes you can use to cruise the beach bikeways. Was a lot of fun and enjoyed the location. Had a beach basket with towels and a frisbee, could also get cornhole to take to beach. Really quite fun and the place was simple yet very clean.

The entire staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism, exhibiting a high degree of friendliness, helpfulness, and kindness, qualities that are increasingly uncommon in contemporary service environments. The establishment's proximity to numerous dining options is a notable advantage. We particularly appreciated the enjoyable atmosphere, available entertainment, and the commendable tranquility experienced during the evening hours. Overall, the experience was truly exceptional. My spouse and I anticipate a return visit.

This was the CUTEST hotel. The photos don't do it justice. Brand new and only a block from the beach.

I won’t leave a super long and detailed review, but it was one of the best stays that we’ve had in a hotel in my entire life to be honest. The staff is all really young and with that USUALLY comes inexperience, but this staff went far beyond expectations and would be something you would see at a Four Seasons. They were courteous, engaging, talkative, empowered, and did what was right for the guest at all times. We had a smaller room, but the decor was nice, the toiletries were amazing, and the small touches like the beach basket and the cooler in the room were next level. If you have a chance to stay, I would recommend without a doubt. It is our go to hotel. I’m moving forward if we come back to this area.

Loved our stay at Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel. Such a lovely property in an idyllic location, steps from the beach and many restaurants. Rooms are renovated and have so many wonderful touches from the terry cloth robes to the beach bags with frizbees and towels. We borrowed an umbrella and chairs to take for our beach day too. They also had cute bikes you could borrow as well! Would definitely stay again!
