Stellar Stay in Newport Beach
I booked this reservation for my best friend and I to celebrate my birthday. Everything from start to finish has been stellar. We loved the vibe at A&O, and hung out there until our room was ready. Great drinks, beautiful views and solid food. The hotel is in the midst of a renovation, but has not impacted our stay. At the moment we are poolside, and there is some minor construction, but you would expect to see a little here and there. Our room was upgraded, and we had a beachside room. Peaceful, comfortable and fit our needs. Before going out last night I had a blow out at Drybar located on property, so that was a fun perk to have onsite. My friend went to the gym in the morning and came back with high praise. Above all, the staff are nothing short of amazing. While I’ve had good service from a few employees at other resorts, ALL of the staff have gone out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. A huge shout out to Katherine at the front desk - she was above and beyond helpful and accommodating. Donald at the valet desk took us to and from dinner, and he was a gem. I only wish I had remembered more names to mention, but thanks to all staff for making our stay special. Would I stay here again when in Newport Beqch? Yes! In a heartbeat!

Vacations will cost you
Did not appreciate the extra fees ($40 per night) that were tacked on to the bill at checkout. $55 a day parking fee is excessive!
