I had an outstanding stay at the VEA Newport Beach Marriott. The renovation really brought the place to life, and I appreciated how clean and well-maintained everything was. The spa services were a lovely addition, even though I faced a few minor issues with my room's amenities. Overall, the hotel offered a fantastic atmosphere and a wealth of activities to enjoy nearby, making it a great destination for relaxation and fun.

Rooms

8.0

Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, though there was an exhaust fan running in the bathroom that was quite noisy. I was on the 10th floor with a view overlooking the golf course, which I loved, except for the music from a private party below that kept me up until the early morning.

Service

The service was excellent, with staff eager to help and cater to our needs. However, there were a few oversights, like extra toilet paper not being provided and some minor issues with our room service.

I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel, appreciating the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. The location is fantastic, just steps away from Fashion Island and not far from the beach.

Overall, it was a decent experience, but there are some areas that could use improvement.

I had a decent stay at this hotel with some amazing views, but it was marred by a couple of issues. The rooms were visually appealing, but the bed was uncomfortable and it was quite noisy at night. The location near Fashion Island is perfect for shopping and dining, although there were some hiccups with service that could be improved. Overall, while it was nice, it wasn't quite the luxury experience I had hoped for given the price.

My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the newly renovated areas were a delight and the view from my room was fantastic, I was met with unexpected construction noise in the mornings and some delays with valet service. The room decor was modern and aesthetically pleasing, but comfort was lacking somewhat, especially the furniture. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, though some aspects could certainly use improvement.
