Top Balboa Beach Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach

8/10 Good
"The resort is nice, but in need of a lot of deferred maintenance including damaged doors, paint, carpet, furniture in rooms. When walking down our hallway, several room doors have a lot of damage to them and in our room, the furniture was really damaged and should have been replaced. Also… the water pressure in the shower is terrible and barely drips out enough to wash the soap off your body/hair."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great 2-night stay. Location is the best, enjoyed room 1. It is different, small, cozy and comfortable with lots of windows and mirrors. It is a corner room so windows on two walls, nice ocean view and breeze. Room has a table with 2 chairs so could eat breakfast and play cards while watching the beach happenings below. We had everything we needed. Just be aware of sheet sweeper early in the morning before 6am, comes by about 8 times. close up windows at night and use A/C so it won't be as loud."
