It’s a historic hotel, so it does not feel like a new or updated hotel, which is not a bad thing! Very clean and has a beautiful view. Bed was comfortable. There is only 21 rooms or so, so it is very quiet but the walls are thin - easy to hear people in the hallway. The restaurant was closed while we were there (which is odd since we were there on season). About a 10 - 15 minute drive to downtown Newport.

Hotel is adorable. Gorgeous views from back terrace. Staff are lovely. Giant air conditioning units on roof right outside our window. Like listening to an engine all night.

The only staff we had contact with was the front desk. They were cordial. No staff available in the breakfast area -toaster was not plugged in so it wasn’t working. Refrigerator in room cycled on and off and the bed was creaky.

Hotel is very dated and not well maintained. Room was clean but carpets were old and dingy The hotel was so so so so loud. Our room was apparently above the kitchen where there started yelling, playing music and banging pots and pans at 8:00am. You could hear clearly loud announcements like “one order of calamari”. We called the front desk to ask about the noise and the gentleman we spoke with made it seem like it was no big deal and the only solution offered was to move to different room which was apparently more noisy? So that was confusing. The doors had visible gaps along the top and sides and you can hear everything happening in the hotel and through the windows. To cap it off there were wedding two nights we were there, due to the age and lack of noise insulation the hotel really needs to let guests know when they are booking that they should expect noise until 12. We wanted a nice relaxing beach hotel and this was sadly not that. There was one really nice and helpful lady at the front desk.

Loved the old orginal building. Our room was large in a quite side of the building. The room phone didn't work, had the maintenance person check it, but it wasn't changed out with a working phone. Each time we used our cell phone and left messages at the front desk for help, the staff never received the messages. There was no maid service to replenish supplies.

It's like staying in a castle.

The facility is beautiful with a view of the water. The staff was friendly and everything was clean. There was no elevator but staff is willing to help with bags if you need it. I really enjoyed the facility and the area.

The room was extremely outdated, no thermostat to control temp (it was freezing from the AC), uncomfortable bed and pillows, and the sink water never ran warm/hot! They only had a continental breakfast available with no options for hot breakfast food. For the amount this was nightly, it was far below expectations especially for a 4 star hotel. Views were the only good thing.

While the property was beautiful and the room was clean and comfy, we were really disappointed with our stay. There was a wedding that evening and our room was right above the venue so it was loud (sounded like we were in a karaoke bar) until very late and then everyone was hanging out partying right outside the bedroom windows. We hardly slept and wished this could have been a room reserved for wedding attendees and we could have been somewhere far away. Definitely not upset with the wedding party, but the hotel shouldn't have put us there.
