Pros: I chose the Bay Shores Peninsula on a whim, and boy was that a good gamble! The place is really quaint, staff is amazingly kind and attentive, and our room was perfect. There's not a lot of space in the rooms that goes to waste, nice sized closet with small fridge and safe, bathroom clean and well appointed, they even had a little nook turned into a dressing table for us ladies, complete with plugs and a coffeemaker. Good TV plus on demand channels and a wall of DVD movies in the lobby you can borrow. The rooftop lounge area is perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. The breakfast buffet was nice, quite a few choices and good coffee to boot. Plus they make fresh cookies every day, I mean really, it's like visiting family. Parking was a little lacking because there is construction happening, but that is truly out of their control and the staff helps out with that piece as much as they can.
We will definitely be back!

Pros: Would never stay there again, they tried to over charge us by nearly 2000.00, they lie about everything and try to hustle you to pay more for rooms that they don't give you, for example 100more per night for a pool view, king bed, we got a queen with a Hugh tree in our balcony to not see anything, they said it was the're version of a king bed, what a joke! At this time we are still in dispute with them.

Pros: As you walk into the lobby area you are greeted by the staff and the scent of the hotel is refeshing . I wish they sold the scent of the spa area in a bottle because i would purchase it. Cameron is an amazing staff member who met our needs and request to have a late check-out . He's always exceptionally friendly . Great smile, warm, truly accommodating and goes above and beyond the call of duty. I'm a local resident of Orange County and Lido is my favorite getaway spot. When I stopped by at 8am to check if I could pay for the room before my boyfriend arrived at 1pm , Andrew was so helpful and accommodating that he even said the room was ready . I was able to also access the room to drop off some of my things and surprised my boyfriend. Andrew gave us a room with a great view . Corner and 3rd floor it was just too bad it wad overcast and we couldn't enjoy the poolside. Aside from no one had control over mother nature . Cameron and Andrew are great and exceptional assets to your staff and team . We will become regulars here . Thank you Lido House . We will be back on a regular basis.

Pros: Awesome rooms and very well appointed decor and location is awesome. Very beachy and luxurious feel.
Cons: Arriving Friday night in the summer, looked like a scene from real housewives and bumping house music from the bar. Security guards in the lobbby didn’t make for a very reassuring feel. Had to move rooms b/c too loud in first room from the rooftop bar. Breakfast place doesn’t open till 8am, not too kid conscious with families who have kids that are up early.

Cons: The restaurant had ridiculously small portions. Had to go out to dinner after dinner there. No sides with the entrees ( chicken - you just got chicken ) and none to order. Weird. Good food but if you’re still hungry, not the place for a French Laundry style tasting menu.

Pros: The decor was nice, and the hotel is in the best spot at Newport beach.
Cons: So, we had to pay for parking, and first we were told that the guest lot was full, then it changed to, our mid size SUV was too big to fit in the lot. So after we go through hell and back for an hour trying to find street parking we get to the room, put our bags down, and I wanted to go check out this guest lot. LOW AND BEHOLD about half the lot is empty, and theres like, 3 SUVS as big or bigger in the lot. I go bring it up to the front desk employee. THEN the story changes to, well, my manager told me to not let anymore SUVs park back there because HES STORING HIS FRIENDS SUVS BACK THERE and apparently having anymore SUVs back there would be "too much". Nice. The managers friends cars come before paying guests. Disabled paying guests to top it off. Got it. I fully intend on sharing this info with four sisters(the hotel company)

Pros: The location right on the beach couldn't be better. The breakfast had some good options, including steel-cut oatmeal. The staff was very friendly.
Cons: My tiny room didn't have a window, other than some glass blocks on one wall of the tub and a skylight over the tub. While the room does look like the picture, I assumed (silly me) that there was a window on the wall not shown in the picture. The bathtub/shower and the sink are in the room as shown. The mirror over the sink is to the side and not very helpful when shaving. The room is small. OK size for one person.

Cons: It was hard to find electrical sockets, but not a huge deal at all.

Pros: The place was perfectly located on the beach in Newport Beach, Ca. The room was nice, the bed was comfy and it was very clean. The rooms are all on the second floor so the view to the ocean was unobstructed.
Cons: Our room was on the street/parking lot where everyone parks to go to the beach and bar and restaurants. It was very noisy starting at 5:30 in the morning! This was on a Friday morning so hopefully its not that bad on the weekends.

Pros: I thought the establishment was quaint. And the noise at night was not as bothersome as the reviews mentioned. Overall, we felt like for us to stay there again, somethings needed to be fixed and updated. Otherwise, place was quaint and the staff was friendly, accommodating and great. We love that the inn had a history to it and we enjoyed the experience in staying at an establishment that is more than a hundred years old.
Cons: However, I did feel like the room needed a few updates. The bedside tables needed to be fixed. The window screens needed to be replaced and extra blankets needed to be provided for the daybed that was in room 10. The most disappointing experience of all was that the daybed smelled like urine that wasn't cleaned which made the sleeping experience kinda unbearable. The breakfast was decent except for the frittatas that seemed like a day old that were reserved again the next day.

Cons: Meal in the morning provided but other than that, no access to hot water, coffee or even a microwave. Coffee and hot water along with some breakfast items were available in the morning, served with a really good quiche and hardboiled eggs EVERYDAY. Not much variety. So noisy at night, although they offer earplugs, its not recommended and should be before you even have to ask. Grossly overpriced.

Pros: It was close to the beach.
Cons: Floors and remotes were sticky. Headboards and rugs were filthy. Walls were dinged up. No screen on one window. Noisy as all get out. (Advertised as soundproof rooms.) You could hear everyone coming and going. Used bath towels to clean the floor.

Pros: The bed was excellent. I have back issues and sometimes struggle with hotel beds.
Cons: I would have appreciated more information about the parking procedures before we arrived. It was our first visit, and we were unaware of what to do or where to go. We were late for a family wedding reception and didn't need the added anxiety. .

Pros: location was great and staff excellent!
Cons: Bathroom plaster was flaking off. 1980 jetted tub that does not look like it work but would be a fool to try given the appearance. Heavy dust on vents.
3.1 Mediocre
Pros: The location of the Inn is great, right in the centre of Balboa. The inn itself seemed charming but we unfortunately had a terrible experience here.
Cons: Having arrived at the hotel with three rooms booked, confirmed and prepaid, we were informed the hotel was sold out, that we should have been notified of the cancelled booking and nothing could be done. The staff made no attempt to relocate us, offer us any kind of compensation and in fact were rude and condescending. A frustrating and disappointing experience all around.
