Hotel California By The Sea

Sadly, I must report that I had a tough experience here. Wish it were different. The location is nice, and I'm sober, hence the two stars. I personally experienced Staff under the influence (employee was suspended/terminated the next morning and it seemed hush-hush), and what was promised under my Insurance (Kaiser) is not was was offered (pushed). They're still relying 80-90% on Zoom Meetings as of August 2022. I flew from Washington for an agreed-upon (Eric V.) 30-day Inpatient program. Was asked to sign an open-ended agreement upon arrival. When I pushed-back for the originally agreed upon 30 days (Big Dave), within a week, on Day 18 at Hotel Newport, I was asked to move to their outpatient house. You can do the math. Advice? If you choose to attend this program, get everything IN WRITING prior to arrival. I wish I had. I'm not happy or satisfied in writing this, as some in this organization (mostly Bellevue) were inspiring. I left on Day 18 when realizing battling both my Alcoholism and a wealthy organization was untenable. I was staying sober DESPITE Hotel California By The Sea Newport Beach. 28 days Sober, by the Grace of God, as I write this.

I had an amazing experience there. I stayed for three months and went through the detox at Flagstaff with chef Chris and staff were amazing and then was at a Women's house for the duration of my stay and have now been clean and sober for nearly 10 months. Would recommend this program to anyone looking to make the change for an amazing life that is unimaginable in active addiction.

I have nothing but great things to say about Hotel California. My family and I were desperate to find a safe, holistic, and reputable treatment center to send one of our family members to in order to help him deal with his severe addiction to alcohol. After years of hardship for him, Hotel California took him in and helped show him a new way of living. First, hotel exposed my cousin to AA, which has been essential in keeping him sober after he left. AA is by no means the only way to stay sober, but Hotel's commitment to serving their clients holistically allowed my cousin to find a program that helped maintain his sobriety. Second, my cousin says that he valued the compassion and work ethic of all of the staff members at Hotel. In his experience they went above and beyond, making sure that all of his needs were meant. He says that he felt comfortable in his living space, and that he was safe to pursue a life free of drugs and alcohol. Lastly, the location of Hotel in Huntington and Newport Beach were the perfect settings for my cousin to finally achieve long term sobriety. I was envious of the experiences he was able to have in such a beautiful place with men and women trying to tackle the same issues in life. I would highly recommend Hotel to anyone who is seeking a sober life . I am very thankful that Hotel came into our lives in such a positive way.

I've heard nothing but horror stories from other people about other treatment centers. My experience at Hotel California by the Sea was nothing short of spectacular. The staff genuinely care about each client. The facilities are top notch. I was fortunate enough to see both the Cincinnati and California facilities both first hand. If I ever have a friend or family member in need of the services provided, I would insist on calling here first. Quite frankly I am alive and sober to this day because of this program. I still attend meetings via zoom as an Alumni. If you think you know what inpatient treatment is, you have not experienced Hotel California By the Sea.
