My overnight stay at this hotel was amazing. The gentleman at the front desk was so kind. The room was nicely decorated and really clean. You will be so happy if you book your stay here. Please remember to treat the room as if it was your own place and keep it clean. When I booked my stay, everything was brand new. It was such a nice experience!

The rooms are newly renovated and extremely clean, however the sheets were stained. Also, no trash can in the room. It was also pretty quiet given that it’s a motel with room doors facing the outside. Staff are was very friendly and helpful.

The location was under renovation outside but the rooms were shockingly nice. All modern. When I pulled up and saw the work being done outside and the rood numbers written on masking tape I was expecting the worst. But the rooms are very nice with good bedding. Give this place a chance.

The motel is currently being renovated, but I had a newly put together room and it was nice and clean. There was not a waste paper basket, an oversight I'm sure. The neighborhood's not fantastic, but it's close to Newport and the freeway and was reasonably priced.

Staff is lovely! I’m unsure if the couple running the inn are the new owners or not but either way they’re very helpful! And heads up while they can take other forms of payment for your deposit cash is much easier! We had a lovely stay here, despite being by the main road we didn’t have to deal with loud traffic. The inn is currently under renovation! I got to stay in one of the updated rooms and they’re absolutely stunning. I would say though double check if the fridge is plugged in should you need to use it during your stay!

The shower was cold and limited TV Chanel’s , plus the guy that was in the Office had very limited English and could not walk into the office , had to talk to them from outside through a glass window . Room itself was modern and very clean . The bed was good and sheets clean . The are currently renovating so the outside Is a mess

After seeing the photos, I booked 3days, for my business trip. New Owners have turned the old Harbor Bay Inn into a “Go To” place for a simple, well appointed room. Every room is remodeled (less than 6month as of this review 6-2026). Everything is new! Not just refreshed or painted over. Very impressed. If you need to stay in the TRIANGLE SQUARE area of Costa Mesa/Newport Beach, give it consideration. By end of year, all exterior will be completed, new Signage and Logos will be added, as the parking lot will have a fresh coat of asphalt. I will definitely return.
