Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's rooms were spacious with a clean and modern shower, although they could have been cleaner with visible stains in the toilet bowl. The service was warm and welcoming, except for difficulties with refunding deposits. The location was pretty, near the center of Newport, offering beautiful water views. The dining was mixed, with overpriced items but a satisfying menu. Overall, the facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great location and some room for improvement. The rooms, though a bit outdated and noisy due to the proximity to the elevator, had a stunning view of the Newport bridge. The service was top-notch, with personal touches like cupcakes and milk left in the room for my son's birthday. The surroundings were exceptional, offering beautiful water views and a friendly atmosphere. The dining experience was excellent, with a variety of high-quality options at reasonable prices. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, with beautiful views and away from the crowds, but the dining was overpriced. The service was welcoming, but there were some lapses in attentiveness. The rooms offered a wonderful water view but were far from convenient parking. Overall, it was a comfortable and inviting stay.
