The room was adorable and so clean! Staff was so friendly, especially the wonderful ladies at breakfast. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Even made gluten free French toast for my boyfriend! We will definitely be back!
This place is amazing. The check in was very smooth. The staff was always available and incredibly helpful. Our room was very clean, comfortable. The breakfast is something no one should miss as they have the most delicious menu for each day. We will definitely go back there again.
The place was extremely clean and Serena was very friendly. The nreakfast was awesome, and the eggs benedict was probably the best ive ever had. A 5 star experience.
the rooms are amazing, everything is new, modern and comfortable, the staff are super friendly and helpful and the breakfast in the super cute and cozy kitchen on the top floor is top notch!
Delightful overnight stay in every regard! Spotless room with enough space and comforts. Superior staff... perhaps the highlight for us. Easy walk everywhere, including the free parking. Hope to visit again!!
The room was very clean, staff was very friendly and made it a wonderful experience.

Everything fine but rather noisy in the morning....it is an old building.
The room was great! Toni was wonderful.
The breakfasts were AMAZING! And the ladies that prepared them are very nice and helpful, we WILL be staying there again.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was great just 2 blocks from the main street with shops and restaurants. Included breakfast was wonderful; much more than we expected. Will definitely stay here on our next trip to Newport!

Staff & service was amazing…hotel was clean & beautiful & in a great location. 10/10 highly recommend!
Facilities were really clean and comfortable. AAA+ overall and really liked our room we stayed in. Staff were very nice and accommodating.
I have a couple cons for transparicy;
First: Parking. I knew it wasn’t directly at the site, but never realized it was so far away (5-8 min walk) to the shopping center and thought it was behind or across the street. Really the issue was only during inclement weather, so when it rained we had the expense of Lyft.
Second: The usual hotel shower pressure. I get water conservation, but really dislike the pressure where none of the pulse or massage settings even work.
Third: No fridge in room and ice machine was broken during our stay and we like to get a few times a day to keep bottled water cold throughout our stay. Staff did offer to get ice in bucket, but we didn’t want to bother them if/when around since not there all day.
Would I stay here again, absolutely.
Everything! The staff was exceptional. They went out of their way to be welcoming. Breakfast was amazing and all of the furnishings were perfect. Serena was especially helpful.
