What a charming property. Small, well located, parking and breakfast! The room was clean updated with a well appointed bath. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were like silk. Breakfast was convenient and had a variety of items individually portioned. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, an excellent place to stay in Newport!
Excellent stay. Peter at the front desk was very accommodating. Nice rooms and breakfsst! Convenient location between Downtown/ harbor and cliff walk! Third time staying here!
We arrived after the desk staff were off duty but we received lots of helpful communication about accessing the facility and the room, parking, etc. The room, and the property in general, were really lovely. Breakfast was delicious. The only concern was some pet dander on the sitting room sofa that prompted a mild allergic reaction for us.

Delightful place to stay and the room, breakfast and decor were all excellent. The manager was very friendly and informative on her favorite spots around town.
Always a great place to stay! Rooms are comfortable and spacious. Love the decor! Can walk to everything but far enough away to be quiet. Great breakfast.

Parking was very easy and available across the street. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Very informative of the area with recommendations for things to do and restaurants. Great location, close to Mansions, shops and water.
We totally enjoyed our stay. Peter was very helpful with suggestions of local eateries and things to do around town. There were fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the lobby, with access to coffee and a good selection of tea. Our room was on the second floor. They upgraded us, which was a nice surprise. Accommodations and linens were very clean. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, we will definitely return!
