Hotel VEA Newport Beach - A Marriott Resort & Spa (Newport Beach, USA)

The staff at this hotel really make your stay enjoyable. They provide top-notch service, are courteous and professional, and are helpful in planning activities during your stay.

This hotel is conveniently located across from a luxury style mall with plenty of shops, movie theaters, and dining options to keep you entertained. You are a short cab ride to Disney, nearby beaches, and within easy walking distance of Balboa Island and Crystal Cove.

Rooms are clean and well-serviced, spacious with comfortable beds. There are sliding glass doors that open onto balconies. Be sure and request a room with a view of the beautiful golf course.

This hotel does charge an additional daily rate for parking, whether you choose to self-park or valet. Self-park will be the cheaper option, but if you can manage your stay by using public transportation or Uber, you should do so.

Parts of this hotel appear to be very tired and in need of an update. Rooms are cramped with no ventilation in the bathrooms making it necessary to leave the door open when you shower. Rooms are worn, with stained furniture, and for what you pay, you're likely to feel like you're staying in a motel.

The Wi-Fi connection is an additional daily charge and potentially not worth it. You may have trouble getting a good connection after you've paid for the service.
