Whenever I go to CA, I stay here. It's quiet and cozy, yet near everything in the Newport area. I've stayed at a few places along Newport Blvd and they aren't as quaint. The owners/managers are also very nice.
We found this hotel in the AAA tour book and thought the price was great. When we arrived I loved the look of the hotel and the fact that is was small. We stayed for 4 nights and it was so quiet. The room was nice and large and there was a refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot (upon request) in the room.
