Hotels near Bird Rock, Orange County

My wife and I often stay at Marriot properties throughout the United States. We are retired and do a lot of travel in the US and abroad. The customer service at each Marriott Hotel location has been very good, however at the Marriott Bayview, Newport Beach the service we received upon arrival and all throughout our one-week stay were exceptional. Let me explain. When we arrived at the Hotel, my wife and I was greeted by Josiah Escamilla, the Manager. To say he was very professional, very polite, and very accommodating is an understatement. Josiah was excellent in the attention he gave us, his professional demeanor, and most of all the unbelievable hospitality that Josiah showed us was just…incredible. Never before have we ever been treated with such hospitality in such a professional and courteous manner. Josiah made our stay just an absolute delight. Josiah made certain that whenever we called for room service or for extra towels, blankets, etc., we got what we needed in record time. Josiah was very knowledgeable about events and activities in the hotel and the various amenities the hotel had to offer e.g., restaurant, in-room dining service, gym, outside walking trail, etc. He and his staff made our stay very enjoyable. When we left the hotel, my wife thought that she had lost her purse, we called Josiah to inform him of the loss and within just 15 minutes Josiah called us back to let us know that he had gone back to our room and found my wife’s purse. He then secured the purse in the Hotel safe and insisted that he be the one to give it to my wife when she returned the following day to pick it up. Josiah also was able to correct an error in our Lifetime Gold Elite membership points, which upon our checkout had not been added to our account. He called us to inform us that he made the correction and as a result, the points we earned during our stay, were added to our existing points balance. He and his staff must be acknowledged for the tremendous work they put in to make our visit so comfortable and so enjoyable. We really appreciate the unbelievably high level of service we received throughout our stay. This kind of exceptional service we enjoyed, thanks to Josiah and the rest of his staff, Christine, Maryam, Mariana, Stephanie, Anthony, Tommy, and Josef is why we will continue to stay at Marriott Hotels and particularly the Bayview Marriott, Newport Beach. Kudos to Josiah and the entire staff at the Marriott Bayview Hotel, Newport Beach, California. Thank you, Brian W.

I thought it was by the sea, but I was wrong. The address is near the airport. The hotel has all the facilities, and parking is charged separately. It is 10 minutes from UCI and 30 minutes from the beach. Considering the price-performance ratio, it is worth recommending.

The moment I stepped into the hotel, it was not luxurious but warm, and I felt like I was home. The room was clean and spacious, the view on the 9th floor was super nice, it was very convenient to get to everywhere from the hotel, the service staff was warm and polite, and the security measures were in place. I will still book here next time

Environment: Suite, with entrance cabinet, partition cabinet, toilet and bathroom in two rooms. Spacious enough. Facilities: Booked a room with sofa bed, there is a spare bedspread and blanket in the closet, and asked the front desk to add a set of bedding, which is equivalent to 2 beds including sofa, plus 2 large beds for a total of 4 beds, suitable for families with children. The buffet breakfast is nothing new, but it is not bad. Parking fee is charged, $19 a day, no one checks the entry and exit. At present, only hotels in California still charge parking fees. The service is satisfactory and it is quite clean overall.

We had the opportunity to stay at this location for the last part of July. We had a number of swimmers that were attending two separate swim meets and the hotel was beyond accommodating. Rooms were clean, swimmers were fed each morning (and that is a huge feat), and the staff bent over backwards to ensure the conference room was cleaned before each team meeting.

The room is more suitable for family travel. It is very convenient to go to Disney. It is not a very new hotel. It has a small suite with two beds and a sofa bed. Breakfast is not included in the room.

The cleanest rooms ever. Clean linen, clean bathrooms, clean towels all 6 nights we stayed. Front desk polite professional. Cleaning staff friendly and hard workers. Safe location, no hobos or such around the property. Safe normal tourists. The free breakfast pastry, bread, fruit, cold cereal, milk and juices. Kept clean. Decent beds and pillows. Clean fridge and microwave. Downside no safe. Yet i would come back here everytime hands down.

The internet connection is totally unavailable, so I can't stay here for work. But it's close to Disneyland, and the waiter was very nice. He helped me move a large box of parcels to my car. If it weren't for the internet connection issue, I would still consider staying here.

This hotel was great for our stay here in California. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was extremely comfortable after a long day out whether around Los Angeles or a 17 hour day in Disneyland. The fridge was great bigger than we expected. We managed to store lots of bottled water and a few 2L bottles of juices with all our yoghurts etc for the mornings and during the day. Fridge is a great size for trips to Target which is across the street less than 5 min walk. Bathroom and other parts in the room we couldn’t fault had everything we needed for our stay to make it comfortable. As we left they were re decorating the halls, apart from all of this we wish there was stairs to each floor instead of just getting the lift up as we were in the 3rd floor room 355. Stairs would have been nice inside the blocks as there is only a fire exit stairwell to leave the hotel you cannot get to your room via stairs. Also great for parking a hire car as this hotel doesn’t charge for overnight parking too one of the reasons we chose this as our main location to go back and forth from saving us $350/$400 compared to competitor hotels around LA.

Overall, okay. You get what you pay for: a relatively clean but basic room. The AC was loud but functioned well. Wifi functioned but was slow/spotty when streaming. Bring your own conditioner because they only provide shampoo and soap.
