Lots of common areas for guests. Nice restaurant for breakfast. Great ocean view and easy access to the beach. Nice place for couples to unplug, no TVs. Wonderful and helpful staff. Rooms are themed around literature.
The staff was amazing. The room we had the first night was very small and parked cars were right outside our window. We had no privacy when the window shades were up. We asked to be moved to another room the next night and loved the new room. It was twice the size and ocean front.
Do not book the first floor unless you get the ocean front room.
The stay at Hotel Sylvia was absolutely wonderful, had an absolutely perfect view of the lighthouse and the beach. Which was only complemented by the January King Tides. Our room was clean, incredibly comfortable, quiet, and Alex at the front desk was helpful and polite!
Fantastic! The hotel is an experience hotel based on literary authors that were part of the scene back in the 1800’s and onward. Incredible spaces: check out library on top floor. Fantastic restaurant. Right on the ocean with incredible view and patio with fireplace. Walk to the coolest section of Newport is — well it really isn’t a walk, the hotel is in this very cool area of town’s coastal historic area.
If you love literature, this is a dream hotel. Between the quiet writing spaces --both in-room and in the common areas --the ocean views, and the easy access to long shoreline walks, it was an ideal place to focus. I’m looking forward to my next stay.
I wish I would have known there were no televisions in the rooms and the whole a beautiful property the bed was very uncomfortable. A box spring could have helped with that I think. After not sleeping all night we left at 6am
Probably the best hotel experience me and my wife have ever had.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The view from the cafe lounge was amazing! The room was clean and had lots of great books for us to read. If we would stay again, we would want to bring a small fan to help break some of the noise from folks walking around in the room above, but otherwise it was peaceful and comfortable. One other mention: The shower seat in our accessible suite was installed up against the water temperature control and the soap dispensers, so we were not able to use it. I don't think any of those were reasons to rate lower, but some folks might want to know about them. The experience was worth more to us than any minor difficulties we encountered.
