Very big with lots of on property amenities. Stylish decor and a classy atmosphere. They have a shuttle to the mall nearby. If you aren't a guest then parking is steep but not outrageous. Overall, very nice hotel.
This is probably one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The first room they gave me was completely filthy - unmade bed and empty bottles everywhere (not sure how room service classified it as ‘clean’). The second room they gave me had bugs filling the bath tub. The third room was fine - until the power went out.
And despite all this they don’t pick up the phone when you call front desk, housekeeping, room service or what have you. It’s truly awful - avoid at all costs !!
This hotel is a classy & classic place for travelers of all kinds. The accommodations are clean, fresh, modern & a minimalist dream. Very spacious rooms, spread out on a vast piece of property. The hotel itself has less than ten floors, which means no high towers or long elevator rides. The common areas are have an open feel unlike other hotels that are in a stuffy, enclosed building. Great room service & ammenities!
I had an enjoyable time here. Virtually all staff and concierge was very helpful. The ambiance throughout in the main court where the restaurant was was good especially at night. The Calamari, food, and drinks were great. They like to charge to your room more than your card and things can get confusing sometimes, so be weary. The fitness center is ok, but not very spacious. There's a good amount of treadmills and some free-weights for you (dumbbells). The pool seems kid friendly with a slide. It's definitely pet friendly which I think is thoughtful. Very pleasant time here. Thanks.
Spent two nights. Over all very cozy. Clean room. Very nice pool and grounds.. parking great too
Very staff personnel was professional and friendly !!!! A big plus in my Book !!
Just wanted to let you know that Kerri and Chris were awesome in making me and my wife feel welcome!!!! I also wanted to include Juan as well. We came there to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary and these 3 staff members made it very special and memorable. Thanks to all three of you for a job well done!!!!!
Although Beach is in the name, this Hyatt property is a good distance from the ocean. Instead its pools make it a nice resort for a family get away or cosy couples weekend. Rooms are nicely updated and ours had a balcony that allowed us to turn off the AC and enjoy the ocean breeze. A shuttle offers a ride to the upscale Fashion island mall just 5 minutes away, but otherwise you'll need a car to get off the property. For corporate functions, it is a good host for off site events.
Overall, this is a very good hotel. We've been staying here for the last 7 years for an annual family vacation and we've had a good experience each year. Is this hotel perfect? No. Is it well above average? Yes. If you want perfect, go spend $600-700/night for the 4-Seasons. If you can tolerate very good, stay here for a fraction of that price. The location and the grounds are what make this hotel. You are close to the beach, shopping, movie theaters, restaurants, and everything else So Cal has to offer. The trail behind the hotel along the 'back bay' provides a great place to get a run or walk in and the gym and pools are clean and well kept. The staff is friendly and try their best to address your needs. We've had a few issues with rooms and noise over the years and they have always been willing to compensate/accommodate. We will continue to stay at the Hyatt for the foreseeable future.
Very nice location in Newport. Rates were pretty reasonable, parking is either self park or valet, self park will require a walk up quite a few stairs so something to keep in mind. I believe the daily rate for self parking was $27. The room we rented for our meeting was very nice and located near the lobby, we had catered food which wasn't bad at all. Plenty of snacks and a large variety of beverages were available as well. Will definitely return to this location in the future.
The service is excellent! Beautiful grounds, wonderful restaurant, gorgeous pools. Dog friendly with extra charge. Clean and comfy. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return. Can get noisy near the family pool where they make you stay if you have a dog. Additional charges for resort fee and parking adds up.
Nice features with many amenities, a large variety of which are included in the resort fee. The rooms are very comfortable and large. Good shopping nearby and very close to Newport Beach. Somewhat confusing layout at first, so be sure to ask for hotel map and instructions.
Grounds were pretty. My room smelled musty, and when I entered, the phone was ringing and wouldn't stop. Front desk finally told me to unplug it. The 2nd day I returned to find the bath faucet had the parts that switch the water to the shower pulled out and laying on the edge of the tub. Had to ask front desk to send someone to fix it at 10pm so i could shower for work in the morning. Pools/jacuzzi looked nice, but closed at 10pm even on weekends which was too early for us to be able to use them by the time we finished work and dinner. Open trash cans on property drew in raccoons each evening right next to the main doors and patios.
Great room! Very clean, lovely amenities, big bathroom, and awesome feather down pillows. The gym was excellent and the room was very quiet too. Would stay or recommend again without hesitation. Hotel staff was friendly too.
EDIT: The front desk staff was very attentive to our concerns and moved us to a different room for Day Two of our three-day stay. The new room is lovely and we really appreciated the quality of the service. Changed my review from 1 to 4 stars. The reality is that you might end up in a crappy room, but they do have some very nice rooms and the staff will do their best to accommodate changes. The rest of the resort is lovely.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: We had heard such great things about the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach and we're really excited to stay there. Boy, were we ever disappointed with our room. It was tiny and very run-down. Nothing like the "luxury" that the marketing purports. Old popcorn ceiling, holes in the walls, dingy carpet, the list goes on. And I'm not usually one to complain, honestly. But add that together with an exorbitant overnight parking fee ($27/night) and it became a totally unacceptable experience.
The Hyatt Regency Newport Beach was lovely but not perfect. They picked me up at the airport in the shuttle, which was great. The grounds are lovely and the place has a great feel. I had a meal at the bar and the food and service were fantastic. So why only 4 stars, the rooms are way too loud. Sound came in from other rooms and the hallway. Everything else about the room was stylish/lovely though. Wish I had a chance to hit the pool or the golf course, but maybe next time (I'll bring ear plugs).
