Executive Suite, with Sofa bed

The suite is a one-bedroom layout with 1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed, and it sleeps 3 guests. The king bed sits in the bedroom, with premium bedding, a pillowtop mattress and a down comforter. The sofa bed is in the living space, which suits a child or a third adult.

The suite measures 581 sq. ft. It has a separate bedroom, a living area with the sofa bed, a private bathroom and a compact kitchen area. That gives you more room to spread out than a standard guest room.

Yes. The kitchen area has cookware, dishware and utensils, a dishwasher and an electric kettle, so it works for breakfast, snacks or light meals. The hotel also has on-site dining, including The Mayor's Table Pacific Pub + Kitchen and Crew Coffee + Cremerie for coffee and house-made ice cream.

The private bathroom has a shower, bathrobes, designer toiletries, a hair dryer and towels. Accessibility features include a transfer shower, a grab bar near the toilet, a height-adjustable showerhead, a portable bathtub seat, lever door handles and a low-height view port in the door. The TV also supports closed captioning. Lido House has elevators, and the pool has sloped or lift entry.

It is family friendly. A free crib can be provided on request, subject to availability. The sofa bed gives a third guest a place to sleep, and the kitchen area is handy with children. Children of all ages are welcome, though guests 12 and over are charged as adults. The hotel does not offer extra beds, so the sofa bed is the third sleeping space.

You get a 55-inch flat-screen TV with premium channels and streaming services, including Netflix. Pay movies and an iPod dock are also provided. It is a comfortable setup for an evening in after a day at the beach.

The beach is about a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Lido Marina Village, a waterfront shopping and dining district, is also about 5 minutes on foot. The Newport Beach Pier and Balboa Village with the Fun Zone are each about an 11-minute walk. The hotel sits at 3300 Newport Blvd at the entrance to the Balboa Peninsula.

Lido House has a saltwater outdoor pool with cabanas, lawn games and poolside service. It is small, with a Jacuzzi tucked away at the back. The 24-hour fitness center has a Peloton bike. Boost Spa offers treatments such as the HydraFacial and the Ultimate Seaweed Ritual, and the hotel recommends booking spa services in advance.

If quiet matters, ask for a room away from the elevators and the rooftop bar. Topside Roof Deck is a 21-and-over venue that typically closes by 10 pm on weekdays and later on Fridays and Saturdays. Valet parking is available, and Marriott's site lists the daily fee at $69. Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, check-out is at 11:00 AM, and the front desk is open 24 hours.
