"We checked in and the room we booked felt like a dark closet. I immediately called the front desk and asked for an upgrade. We paid the difference and were very happy with our ocean front room. I would have been very disappointed if we had to stay in the first room. "

"This was our second time at Dorymans!. We had an amazing experience with room #6 first visit & couldn’t wait to go back to this wonderful property. This time our room was #2. I would not recommend. Of course, it has a pretty view of the ocean Buuuut it was very noisy, which made it uncomfortable for sleeping.

3 Bedroom Duplex with Ocean View

3.5 star property
5.0 out of 10, (4)
"I could go on forever but basically, I paid for the the pictured beach front duplex but was forced to stay at another property that was much further from the location and advertised for 120$ less. The property was dirty and not well kept and after going back and forth with the incredibly rude staff for weeks they refused to issue a refund and kept the extra 1000$ that I paid for the original advertised location. This whole experience was a nightmare and this place and the staff are GARBAGE."

Lobby

Newport Beach Hotel, A Four Sisters Inn

3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (620)
"We had suite behind the main hotel building. The room itself feels and looks like it was used to be an apartment with granite counter top, 4 gas burner, a spacious bedroom and luxury vinyl plank throughout. It has drip coffee surprisingly Starbucks quality. The bathtub had a whirlpool jet no longer functional and has been refitted with thick padding around it making it harder to get in and out. I would pick a different room just for the better shower access experience. Slight noise at midnight....
