Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent

"The newly renovated Viking hotel was beyond amazing. The rooms were comfortable and very well appointed with wonderful amenities ....love the robes! The overall smell in the halls, the rooms , the lobby area was incredible. The roof deck was delightful with plenty of fire-pit seating. We thoroughly enjoyed Spa Fjor - the 80 min. massages were beyond wonderful and relaxing. My favorite part was spending time with Stephanie and Diane in the Skoal Room. KUDOS to these two bartenders in taking our experience to another level of fun and enjoyment. I will highly recommend the Viking to friends & family and I can't wait to return."

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina

8/10 Good

"The location is wonderful! Can’t beat it. The size of the room is very good. I like that there is a refrigerator and option for coffee. (They serve fresh coffee in the lobby but it was nice to have a Keurig in the room) the bathroom was sub-par. Had to remove the stopper in the sink because water wouldn’t drain. It stayed shut. The shower was extremely tired. Cheap, Lyme build up on shower head. We did not use it. The hotel itself needs updating. For $600 for one night I expected more. But… I love the location."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a great stay! Everything was clean, beds were comfy, and our kids loved the pool and hot tub. The staff was very kind and welcoming. Breakfast was also great, and the ladies working there were fabulous. Parking was easy. We would definitely come back if we were in the area again."
