The staff were super friendly. My only issue is all the doors in the hallways. I understand they had a fire which is probably why they have it. But they make soft closing doors kept us up all night. I was literally to the point where I was going to leave. Which would have stunk because the place wasn't that bad at all

Wonderful place to stay in Newport

Very clean and comfortable. Front desk staff was great, check-in was a breeze. Would love to try the restaurant for brunch or dinner, early morning options at 8 AM were limited, but they looked amazing. Very short uber ride to downtown Newport and Salve Regina.

Not enough drawers to put clothes in. Unfortunately we also killed a silverfish (cockroach) in the room. On the positive side, the room attendant cleaned the room every day so that we always had clean towels. Front desk staff and bar staff were very friendly.

Great experience overall, however the door of our room and most rooms around ours all kinda stayed cracked a little bit open at all times. it was still shut and locked but just a little awkward at times since it looked like our door was open when walking down the hall.

Safe and quiet area to stay. We left bikes locked on the back of our car and felt comfortable that they would not be messed with. The windows also opened, not a lot, but enough for some fresh air.
