The room, overall ambience, and garden terrace were all lovely and charming. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We also got a free shuttle from hotel to the airport when we departed. The only downside: our flight was in the late afternoon and after we checked out we had about 3 hours to bridge before leaving to the airport. we were not allowed to use the pool or facilities after checkout. Although we explained the situation and even offered to pay extra just for day use of the pool and changing room, they were very rigid. I found this policy very inconvenient and arbitrary, especially since nobody was even using the pool and it wouldn’t have inconvenienced either the staff or the other guests. In my experience all other hotels / resorts in the country past have always allowed me to use facilities and pools after checkout to accommodate a later afternoon or evening flight. They should change this policy. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

Beautiful Hotel, a little old but that's part of the charm, the rooms are spacious and clean. Nice clean pool and patio area. The only issue I had was the shampoo, conditioner bottles were empty, so had to go downstairs and request new ones, housekeeping came up in a timely manner and brought what I needed. Definitely keeping this hotel as one of my go to when I'm in the area.

We wanted a nice place to stay while we went to Newport Beach with our kids. This place is very close to restaurants, beaches & shopping. The hotel itself was very nice! You can tell it’s been recently remodeled. The room had a fridge, little kitchen area, and the bathroom had another sink. Very impressed! This hotel exceeded all of our expectations. The kids enjoyed playing in the pool every day. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to California.

What a lovely hotel! I'd never heard of the Ayres hotel brand before, and was suspicious of the uniformly excellent Expedia reviews but went with it anyway. Was really glad I did! Wonderful and friendly staff. (Amazing neck ties, btw, front desk guys!) Great vibe and interesting family branding that focuses on their love of sailing through out the years. Will definitely be back next time I'm in OC!
