Newport Beach hotels in District 3

Cons: -hotel was twice as expensive as kayak offered when I first looked -hotel doors are very loud in the morning and the maid staff starts early -blackout curtains didn't close completely

Cons: $32 for parking! My god.

Cons: Hotel had free breakfast for guest but for us since we book through kayak staff said third part booking no breakfast also they charge $33 over night parking

Cons: I went to check in after dropping off my bags earlier due to a work function. When I came back to check in several hours later I was told a pipe had burst in my room so they put me up at the Hyatt across the street. Very inconvenient for me at 11pm to say the least. Since they were sold out I was moved!!!

Cons: My visit started with rude valets, only to be told at check in that my pet wasn't allowed pretty much anywhere on the hotel grounds. I booked this "pet friendly" place thinking I could sit with my dog on the patio after my birthday dinner to enjoy a glass of wine- but she only seemed to be allowed on the small patches of grass at the front of the hotel. One bag dispenser was the only pet friendly touch I saw. At 5:30, I was stepping out of the shower, when the maid walked in. No knock- she just burst right in, freaking out both naked me and my dog. I had such a poor experience, my sister actually called Fairmont to complain (I was rushing to dinner). There was a birthday dessert waiting when I got back, but it wasn't enough to make up for poor service and a disappointing stay all around. This property is not up to Fairmont standards.

Cons: Limited food options (restaurant closed for lunch on Saturday), mediocre TV reception (channels and quality), room looked a bit tired.

Cons: The room had a bad smell even after switching two times. The rooms have poor sound proofing.

Cons: The rooms need to be updated.

Cons: Power outage-but they compensated us for it.

Cons: Small tub

Cons: not as nice as other fairmonts, is more in a business district of irvine than newport beach

Cons: Per check in, there were no rooms available. We were sent to a sub standard hotel in which rooms were old, not clean and caused my niece to get hives.

Cons: The restaurant was just fair.

Cons: We booked a single King. We got a tiny room with two double beds. Said they were out of Kings. Said they don't guarantee requests for online bookings. We were very disappointed. They did move us the second night but there was a constant banging noise in the vent so we couldn't sleep. We were treated like second class boarders. Parking is $32 a night with no option. The breakfast was not up to Fairmont standards. We will not stay there again.

Cons: Valet only parking. Not a great view.

Cons: The walls were very thin. We could hear a baby crying that was saying 2 rooms down across the hallway. Also, they force guest to use their valet service ($30 per car). No self parking available. We had 2 cars so the $60 bill was an unexpected cost.

Cons: No self parking option. Valet $32 but half price for hybrid vehicles.

Cons: Below average service Room had a weird smell. Asked reception to change my room and they said that they couldnt. They told me that I would need to upgrade and pay the price difference. Cleaning service were cleaning empty rooms at 10 pm while we were trying to sleep. 32$ parking per night in an area where it should be free. Better options out there. Definitely not returning.

Cons: Valet is mandatory and quite expensive!

Cons: Be prepared for the $30 parking fee.

Cons: Overnight parking valet fees, expensive food, someone was smoking...smelled cigarette smoke through bathroom vent and scent was on the towels

Cons: The property was not maintained very well. We found trash including old food behind the night stand. There were cigarette butts thrown outside on the roof over looking the pool. In the sitting area near the bar there was trash left in the drawers of the furniture. In the front of the hotel, the trash can was over flowing with trash.

Cons: 1. We were billed twice, first by Kayak then by the hotel. 2. The hotel did not pay attention to the fact that we were already billed by Kayak 3. The room we stayed in was very smelly 4. There was a crack in our window so our room was always exposed to outside weather and noise. 5. They have mandatory valet parking - in principle this is fine but they should explicitly state that tip is not required or expected since the valet is mandatory 6. we requested Queen or king size bed and got two doubles

Cons: Outdated hallway carpet and decor Expensive parking ($33/night) Double rooms include full size beds rather than queen size A little hard to spot from the street Building looks like a business Far from the beach (25-30 min with weekend traffic)

Cons: Restaurant was so so. Some really good restaurants near the newport coast and costa mesa 5 to 6 miles away Very close to John Wayne airport...Plane noise? AC was noisy.... Nit picky stuff... All that being said I will stay at this hotel again...

Cons: Kind of noisy

Cons: The walls were very thin, you could hear when someone took a shower; the water in the pipes was incredibly loud. And we had a neighbor with a crying child. I know that wasn't the hotel's fault and it happens. But because the walls were so thin, it was really loud. Also, the pool and jacuzzi couldn't be used. My husband and I were really looking forward to that and I wish they had put something on their site before we booked that. We would've stayed somewhere else. Or, they should've given us some credit at the hotel restaurant or some sort of compensation. I just felt like it was shady to not let us know when we booked our room.

Cons: Valet was very expensive. $33 for overnight parking.

Cons: Some renovations could have been done better (bathroom door paint was chipping at the bottom half)

Cons: We were in room 119 and were very disappointed. Not only was there a parking light right outside our window, leaking lots of light through the very sheer window curtains, but the TV didn't have signal, and hair dryer didn't work and there were cigarette burns all over the non smoking room floor.

Cons: Checking in was a disaster. I had requested 2 beds as I was travelling with a couple friends. I received an email early in the day prior to my arrival saying that all of the 2 bed rooms were sold out and that I had an option to order a roll away bed free-of-charge. However when we showed up all of the roll away beds had been checked out. The desk attendant was not helpful and was slightly condescending during the whole ordeal. He didn't even offer additional bedding so we had to make do with what came with the room. The room itself was fine, the view was meh (parking garage roofs are hardly scenic). The décor was comfortable but the Fairmont should really invest in some more tech savvy appliances, especially because this hotel is most appealing to business customers. The furniture was a little beat up in the room and the entertainment center had broken hinges and doors. I'm thinking this might just be a "rough" hotel for the Fairmont brand as I stayed at the Vancouver, BC Fairmont the week earlier and had a much more positive experience.

Cons: No where nearby will have free or cheap parking. I paid $30 bucks for parking overnight and $20 for wifi. Room was decently priced, but it was so fancy i didn't want to take the complimentary soaps just incase they'd charge me for that too.

Cons: The king bed mattress was too soft and uncomfortable. Our view consisted of a roof and AC units. The AC in the room is very noisy during the nighttime. Valet overnight parking is $30.00 and WiFi is $10.50 per day. The Restaurant was closed on Sunday morning and the staff could not direct us to a nearby eatery.

Cons: Seemed like it could use some updating but overall not at all bad

Cons: At 2:12 a.m. I was awaken by drunk, loud and foul neighbors. I tried getting back to sleep but the noise didn't stop. I called security at 3:25 a.m. and they said they would check it out. Nothing happened. Again, at 5:35 a.m. I called security a second time and this time I heard them approach the rude neighbors. The 3 foul neighbors walked down the hall cussing all the way. Horrible night of no rest!

Cons: Check in was at 4:00 which seems VERY late. If you're in for business dinners or personal engagements, it cuts it close in regards to timing. Dogs allowed in the hotel are fine but one family let their dog urinate in the elevator. Many people coming in and out from the pool with and without shoes have no idea that was there.

Cons: I found the policies for entertainment to be completely antiquated! The majority of the tv channels are still Low Def! We ordered a movie and fell asleep, only to be told by the front desk staff that the system is operated by a different company so rewatching meant PAYING AGAIN (in less than a 24 hr period). If I were traveling for business, this might have little impact on my rating. But when staying for pleasure, this is unacceptable in Orange County!

Cons: I did not like paying $32 to valet our car for one night

Cons: They charge $25 for parking and there are no other parking options.

Cons: We got a suite with water front view. I think the view was a joke as it looked like a semi-dried up marsh. If you went down a few blocks, it was beautiful. I was a little disappointed with the view as I paid extra for it. The bed was very uncomfortable, my husband and I tossed and turned all night.

Cons: The hotel is located away from places to eat so ordering room service sounds great but it's extremely overpriced. Price of parking was ridiculous. Sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable and the extra blankets were scratchy.

Cons: Other than noise from remodeling, I love love love this location!

Cons: Parking should be more clear that it is charged.. I would have rather just ubered there

Cons: $28 for parking a night? Like just hide it in the fee or something because it's just ridiculous. I'd guess that 95% of guests arrive with at least one car.

Cons: Zero customer service. No effort made to ensure the comfort of the guest. Overall a poor experience all in the name of “COVID-19” and using that as an excuse to cut ALL services and ALL comforts.

Cons: Everything was great. I would had loved to have a room service menu but maybe it was on the tv, I didn’t check

Cons: Letting guests know that the rooms are cleaned every three days, so if you are staying for two nights, there is no cleaning service. I was aware of this from another Marriott location that I had used recently.
