I am staying there during the run weekend, one night regular room, three nights club level. And I am now really curious how it will be. The last time I stayed there was in 2012, I think. I wonder now what they did during the last refurb, the outside took a long time to complete, maybe they only focussed on the outside? But I agree... it doesn't make sense.At the end of the day, NPB must be worth the price because enough people are paying it for occupancy to be at an acceptable level for Disney. If it wasn't they would do something about it such as discount it more.
From memory, it was never supposed to be quite the same level as HNY. NPB is same class as Sequoia Lodge - although in my opinion NPB is a small step up from Sequoia.
As for the comments on the state of NPB I say again this makes no sense. It's only a couple of years since it had a full refurb which I believe lasted a couple of years to complete?

But it's also about how much you pay, if I would have paid $700 a night for NPB, I would feel ripped off. As it's nowhere near worth it. During the Run Weekend, which is high season, I pay 180 euro for the regular room and 365 euro per night for the club level Lakeside. This is including my Infinity discount (20-25%?) That completely changes how I would feel. Normally I stay in Cheyenne or Santa Fe (a 155 euro per night incl discount), but as I know I will make more use of the room, the lounge, the pool etc this weekend, I am willing to pay more. And I think it's good value and will be more positive than when I paid $700 per night.
Yes, for $700 a night it feels like a rip off! I would not be complaining, if we paid less. We did get park tickets for 2 days for 3 of us and Half Board. Taking that into account, it’s about $450-500 a night for just the room. This was supposed to be a bargain. The price dropped from when I first started looking and included Half Board. In Orlando we stay at the Beach Club for slightly less a night, but with a Villa, dining plan, park tickets, etc included. I just assumed we would have a similar standard (but a bit villa, but a room instead) for the price.
I’m curious where/how everyone else booked their Disney hotel from? We booked directly through the English version of the DLP site. Are Americans targeted to pay much higher prices? I certainly hope not as that would be shameful. I wonder if there is anyone at Disney I can take this up with?
Good luck on your Run Weekend! Sounds like a fun time at DLP!

I stayed in New Port Bay for 4 nights the past weekend and after this topic I paid careful attention to the condition. And I must say, I still do not agree. My room (7191 club level) looked brand new and spotless. I even ran my finger over the top of doors and top of mirrors to see if there was any dust. I didn't found any. For the stairs to the park, yes, I did saw dust etc. here, but I also saw people cleaning it several times a day. Only with so many guests going up and down these stairs it is impossible to keep this one clean at all times.
If I had to look for downsides, I didn't think the outlets were properly distributed over the room and the buttons within the elevator were a bit wonky.
The staff at check in, at the club level desk and in the lounge were extremely friendly and accommodating. I added an additional night a few weeks ago (original booking was made in November '18), but club level wasn't available. But at check in apparently there were some changes. We could stay in the same room for the entire stay, only for the first night we wouldn't have club level amenities, which was fine.
I was also happy with the food selection in the lounge for breakfast and at 4 o'clock, and found it a little bit better than at Sequoia Lodge Club Level. The pool and the whirlpool are bigger, which was really nice after the runs.
We won't go here every time, as it's too expensive, but for the next run weekend in September 2020 I will be happy to return to NPB.
If you’re planning on coming in the summer I’m serious about staying at the Disneyland hotel.
The proximity is worth the price.
Perhaps the New York hotel when it reopens might be ok, but in this heat the closer you are the better and that’s the Disneyland hotel.
The walk to the bus was hellish today with lots of crying kids.
The closer you can put yourself to the park the better off you’ll be.
I am still convinced the OP would have been disappointed in every onsite hotel, the airco 'issue' would still exist and it is the same cleaning staff (at least trained the same way).We are going July 2020 and I was looking at the Newport because it reminds me of Beach Club. I'm very disappointed to hear your review. Would stay at Disneyland Hotel but it is way too expensive since we need two connecting rooms.
People used to US Disney parks and definitely those used to Deluxe resorts need to adjust their expectations. Disneyland Paris has hotels, not resorts, there are less amenities and the differences between Value, Moderate and Deluxe are smaller.
Edit, never mindStill, I'm going to have to agree with others who said that this hotel didn't match up to others in the Paris area - all of which cost less during our two week trip. It didn't ruin our trip to DLP by any means, but it was expensive given the issues we noticed. However, we did really enjoy the extra magic hour, so that is worth something also.
But the same can be said for Orlando, most hotels are cheaper than Disney.Still, I'm going to have to agree with others who said that this hotel didn't match up to others in the Paris area - all of which cost less during our two week trip.
