The hotel is great. My husband stays often their often for work and I tagged along for a little spring break vacation. The hotel is well kept and the pool deck is wonderful. The staff themselves aren't typical of Fairmont. They don't have the same willingness to help out in whatever way they can and sometimes it seemed like I... More

I have just finished up a 2 night stay at the Fairmont Newport Beach, where I decided to take my wife for our fourth wedding anniversary. We were already in Southern California for work, and had a couple of days off at the end of our trip. She wanted to go to Disneyland for a day, I wanted to be... More

I stay here for business (3 times in the last month) and had always had a mixed experience. Generally, I found the service to be pleasant but slow, except for in the dining area, which has been consistently bad. This last time, however, the service simply was miserable and, at times, infuriating. I am a Premier member (almost Platinum) and... More

I won this hotel on Hotwire and after reading the reviews was very VERY nervous to stay here but I found my concerns unwarranted. Staff was beyond friendly and accommodating. Yes you pay for Valet but I stayed at two other hotels during my long stay in Newport and all required me to pay for parking and with the weekend... More

I recently stayed at the Newport Beach Fairmont for business. Right off the bat--its not up to par with the other Fairmont collection of hotels but it still is very nice. The common grounds, namely the lobby and pool area, are very well kept and upscale, but the rooms could definitely use a little TLC. The beds, by a mile,... More

One thing I can say they do have a nice pool area. The rooms are ok. They need to remodel the rooms. Service is good, staff are friendly. The hotel itself such as the lobby and restaurants are modern, the room that we stayed at needed new carpet, it was filthy.

I've stayed at the Fairmont Newport Beach on business many times (we get a preferential nightly rate). Famed for their beds (which they actually sell, apparently), you will always get a comfortable night's sleep. The walls can be a little thin sometimes - and if you end up next to a guests (often family with kids) who are in and... More

A lot of what I'll say echos what others have already said but this place should be much better than it is. Pros: The location isn't great (close to airport) but you are still close to PCH and the Newport Pier and it's easy access from both freeways. The Pool area is nice and spacious. They have nice covered gazebos... More

As member of Fairmont I'm fairly disappointed in this hotel. The rooms are clean and tidy, so you will have no problem getting an okay room similar to a Hilton. They have a fake President's Club line when you check in, which is like I said fake, they don't use it or didn't even care I was in it so... More
