Location was excellent. Many restaurants and bars within walking distance. Food at the hotel restaurant, Pescadou, was amazing! Would definitely return!
This hotel was very comfortable with great amenities. We loved the rooftop bar! Also it is centrally located with lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance.
Rooms are tastefully decorated and we found the beds to be extremely comfortable. Loved the rooftop deck for pre dinner drinks and sunset and the courtyard with firepit for after dinner corn hole. Had a wonderful stay!
The hotel was in a great location. Walking distance to a lot of attractions and Thames street. Great amenities and it was very clean. Service was excellent.
The staff were very kind and helpful, we traveled with a toddler and they provided a pack n play for us but would have been nice to have had a larger room for space, kind of tight with two double beds and a crib with all our luggage. Rooms were clean but the floors were in need of a vacuum. Overall good experience. Quiet overall, coffee shop inside was super convenient and good. One complaint was we were told valet for our whole stay would be $46 but then were charged $90 for two nights stay, not sure how they was not communicated well.
The room was immaculately clean and had beautiful finishings. It was compact but efficient. The bed was extremely comfortable and made up for the odd bathroom sink situation. The front desk lady named Marina was very kind and helpful. The valet staff were top-notch. We enjoyed the historical vibe at the hotel.
Room was fabulous. Bed comfortable, bathroom was split sink in one area toilet /shower across from sink area.
Lots to walk to nearby, museum, shops, the harbor, a park to walk dog-etc. I really liked that there were several dog friendly places. "Picnic" across from hotel had great breakfast sandwiches, bagel, lattes etc. sand
The staff was great. We had a short stay thankfully because we also had a skylight in the room!!! What the heck? Get rid of that damn thing or just rent the room to college kids that don’t sleep. To make matters worse, it seemed like there roof mounted lights illuminating the room. We could literally read a newspaper or book at 2am with all the lights off. I’m sorry but never again for us and we stay in Newport often.
Beautiful property in a great location. The only negative was the bathroom sink was so small and a shelf placed above it so you could not brush your teeth or wash your face without soaking the floor. Was a bit frustating.
Good location. Bathrooms were way too small. Couldn’t even brush your teeth or turn the water on bc shelf above the sink blocked it. Also had to step over the bed frame to get out of one side of the bed. No space between A/C and end of bed. Use of space not good. Totally over priced for what you get. No water in room, no turn down service, no extra white glove service for price. Bare minimum
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2026

The location was great--walking distance to the Newport points of interest. Some areas of the hotel were in better condition than others. The first floor where we stayed had some ceiling tiles missing in the hallway and the visual into the ceiling space was unappealing and caused the hallway to be warm and stuffy. In our room we could hear a constant pounding sound. I called the front desk but the sound never disappeared. The indoor heated pool was nice but sometimes had no towels and often the external door was propped open which felt less secure. Housekeeping did not always refill the coffee pods or towels but were fairly responsive when called. Staff in general was friendly and helpful, and the common areas were comfortable, clean, and aesthetic. Room furnishings were nice although a pullout bed would have been more reasonable for a 3-person room with only 1 bed.
Stayed here before but never again. Hotel is sprawling and our room was at the farthest end of the hallway. Stairs in hallway could not be avoided and moving luggage was a challenge. Freshly renovated but heavy barn door at bathroom could not be moved one inch. Door into room did not close properly and maid left room open after cleaning room. Missed cleaning one day and staff was rude when we asked that the room be cleaned. Building is being refurbished and we had no hot water for two days. Staff was dismissive when we inquired. Problems every day of our 5 day stay. Good location close to mansion and other sights but there are better Newport hotels.
Our room was spacious but it over looked the street which was very busy and noisy. Our bathroom was smaller than an inside cabin of a cruise ship. The bathroom sink was so small and narrow that you could wash your face it. Terrible value for what we got
Rooftop bar was closed because of a private event.
$50 to park your car a day is ridiculous.
Urban Destination fees should be included for the price of the room.
