I was nervous to stay here based on the wide spectrum of reviews. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The room was basic, clean, and slightly modern. I would compare the rooms to staying at a Holiday Inn, but not dank and old as I was expecting from other reviews. The bathroom was tiny, but had a few shelves. Ive listed my pros and cons below.
Pros
Clean room
Location was awesome (walkable downtown Newport & so many restaurants)
Early check-in available (1st come, 1st serve)
Complimentary waters at the front desk
Cons
Outlets & door lock in the bathroom didnt work

Location, perfect view of marina with spacious balcony. The 2 double Beds were comfy. Wish there was a microwave. Yes rooms weren't perfect but clean. Didn't understand the $30.00 a Day resort fee as sauna wasn't working and onsite restaurant/ bar didn't appear to be open. Maybe just say parking fee? Or give to your housekeeping staff? Other than that it's typical Newport...it was $893.00 for Saturday- Monday stay.

The hotel was fine. Nothing special, basic room. The drain was a bit slow the drain in the sink and tub. The highlight of the stay? We were staying with our 5 year old son and I asked if they could push the bed against the wall. They told me they could not but they had another solution. A very large, very dark and very jolly Haitian man came with 30 pillows to stuff in the gap. He made my son very happy. We would probably stay again.

This place was very disappointing. Based on the location, price, and information online, it looked like a nice hotel. Unfortunately it's not exactly. The rooms are clean, that was an important thing. Oh and the staff were nice. Here were our issues: restaurant closed on Tuesdays but this information is not clearly shared. so when we realized this we asked for recommendations locally. Two out of three places recommended to us were also completely closed. There is no little store area where you can buy anything at all. not even a shelf with snacks. When we asked, we were referred to the vending machines

We were in town for a family wedding and stayed at this hotel. Its a tired place and desperately in need of a facelift. Rooms are small. Our room in particular had a slow sink drain, a torn window screen and a broken safety latch. Actually, the latch was missing completely. Corporate made the decision not to allow staff to stow any luggage - a major inconvenience. The coffee shop and bar had limited hours. A disappointing stay. Either do it right or dont do it all.
