I have stayed at the Newport Channel Inn every year in March for the past five years. Brion and his staff always give me a warm welcome and make sure I have everything I need to make my stay as comfortable as possible. I really enjoy the warmth and personal hospitality of this family run business. Even the maid service... More

We spent a week at the Newport Channel Inn for Spring Break in 2012. Our room was not ready when we arrived, so we left, drove around the city, had lunch, and came back 2 hours later. Were told room now had plumbing issues, so we were going to be put in a different room, and that room was not... More

A buddy and I recently stayed at this location. We felt it was a great value for the money and note the following: -The check-in was handled by the owner of the hotel. She was very helpful and suggested rooms that would quiet/optimal (noting that my friend did warn her that I write for TripAdvisor!). -The property is essentially an... More

we got a queen room that had a twin bed also. Room what's comfortable and clean.certainly not up scale but you're paying for location.and it is cheap for where it is located. Nearby restaurants are really good.

This was great find. Right off of Pacific Coast Highway and right across the beach from the ocean. Really happy with how clean the pace was. A sigh of relief when you walk in and see. Easy access to either Newport Pier area, Balboa or Huntingto Beach. Plenty of places to eat to enjoy the beach atomsphere are within walking... More

The Newport Channel Inn is literally across PCH from the ocean. There are crosswalks to... More

This hotel was a great value. It was located on a busy street, but our room was quiet and well appointed. The hotel is a short drive from Balboa and the downtown area and just across the street from the beach. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. There was no breakfast available but there was a microwave and... More

If you are looking for a place for the family, want to be by the beach and still work within your budget, this is a good place to stay. The hotel provides beach chairs and boggie boards to enjoy with a one block walk to the ocean. A number of places are around the hotel to eat a very good... More

I booked this property based on favorable reviews in TripAdvisor. I was not disappointed! Access isn't terribly easy. As I slowed to turn into the lot, a speeder behind me leaned on his horn and flipped an obscene gesture as I was impeding him from going 75mph in the slow lane. Score one for the friendliness of Newporters! The parking... More
