Top Exploration Center and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, the hotel was beautifully maintained, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Everything was wonderful, and we truly enjoyed our experience. We would definitely love to come back!"

Newport Beach Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Ivy at the front desk was lovely and very helpful, including letting me know there is a $10 discount for the breakers entry if tickets were bought at the hotel. The room was clean and quite large. The breakfast Saturday morning was mostly breaded products. I am celiac, but I don’t anticipate accommodation for that so not an issue. I would highly recommend staying here. There may be some stairs involved in making your way to your room so maybe pack a little lighter."

Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing and very helpful"

Newport Marriott Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and facility. I stay here whenever I come to Newport."

The Pell - Part of JdV by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in a great location, rooms are very clean as is the rest of the hotel. My only issues are the pillows in the room- very uncomfortable and the fact that you are paying for parking. Outside of that, it was great. Staff is lovely and helpful!"

The Carriage House Inn Newport

8/10 Good

"Clean room, friendly staff."

The Chanler at Cliff Walk

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, an amazing experience. Hotel and service was impeccable. Room was really terrific. The only issue was that I snagged my dress jacket on a nail that was sticking out on one of their dinning room chairs. The restaurant manager came over and indicated that the ‘hotel’s tailor’ would take care of it. Not sure that the hotel even had a tailor and it was Labor Day weekend as well. No one from the hotel ever followed up."

Rhea's Inn By The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to the beach, staff was very helpful and nice. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Coffee already made the next morning, bagels, yougurt and kid friendly options for breakfast. Will be returning next year. ."

Water View 6-Bedroom Colonial, Hedgegate of Newport, Perfect for Large Groups

10/10 Excellent

"Housed and location was perfect for our family vacation in Newport."
