My boyfriend and I chose to stay at Simons for our anniversary trip in Sept 2018....and we loved our stay. Check in was a breeze, the space was very relaxed and welcoming, and we were a quick walk/uber away from EVERYTHING. Newport Ave has plenty of parking so it was never an issue for us, and the area was very quiet. If you’re looking to explore the coast, I would definitely recommend a stay here in OB!
