Newport Beach 2 Stars Hotels

"I stayed here about 2 years ago when it was under Sonder and we had a pretty positive experience! They advertise themselves appropriately so I knew we weren’t getting some snazz hotel by any means. Decided to go again this year because i know this is a great budget choice for the area. Location is stellar. Bed was comfortable and sheets were clean. Parking was fine and right up to the hotel. Check-in was easy and convenient. Received texts during the stay checking in to see if we needed anything. But the cleanliness of the room….i walked in and took my shoes off and immediately felt dirt and debris on my feet. After 5 minutes I had black on my feet. Quite literally someone must have not swept. We did not pay for a balcony room so no windows or anything for airflow. It was SO humid in the room. More than it was outside by the beach. We ran our A/C on different settings to try to accommodate but the entire stay felt sticky. The bathroom did generally feel clean aside from the floors but you can see the wear on the sink drain, marks/stains on the walls. Bedside tables were sticky and had crumbs on it. It felt like staying in a trendier motel. The nearest stairwell exit by my room led us to pass a staff/cleaning hallway. So they’re not trying to really hide the behind the scenes from you. My husband wasn’t as bothered by it as me, especially because we were out most of the day and he wore socks in the room the whole time. I just never felt fully clean the entire stay. "

"There was sand in my bed. Makes me question a lot of things. Lots of early morning traffic noise. "
