"Nice stay. Rooms very clean and modern. Beds were comfy. The breakfast area was especially pleasant. Modern feel, nice floor plan and food was better than most breakfast. We enjoyed sitting on our outdoor patio. Only downside, no elevator. Luckily there are only 2 floors. Would Def go again to this Hotel"

Hotel Viking

Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent
"I could not say enough about the Viking hotel in Newport, Rhode Island! My stay was exceptional, the food was off the charts, the accommodations were wonderful, there was just such a wonderful BUZZ going around in the hotel. People were coming for weddings and parties and everybody was so gracious. The shop did not disappoint either. The chocolate croissant, the amazing cappuccino. The highlight was probably when I arrived, and I had the most amazing Barada, oysters, and a glass of rosé. I will be going back for sure, I would like it to be every month!"

Colonial Inn Seekonk

Colonial Inn Seekonk

10/10 Excellent
"The property is an old motel that has been meticulously refurbished and tastefully decorated. The room is smaller than a modern motel but is very functional and pleasant. The outdoor pool was a very pleasant space and well maintained. The staff was very pleasant, informative and helpful. Unlike many many modern facilities, housekeeping maintained the room daily. If I return to the area I would surely stay at the Colonial Inn again."
