The view of the ocean from our room was fantastic. The room was very clean and spacious. It was close to the things we wanted to do and staff pointed out some other interesting things in town. A little warm due to no air conditioning but a fan was provided in our room. Also gave us an adjoining room with the couple we were traveling with without even requesting which was nice. Would stay again if in the area.

Loved our stay! Such nice staff, great indoor pool & jacuzzi; nice walk to beach. I understand they are planning some serious renovations. My only problem was the bathroom: the toilet is SO low! Okay if you have great knees but a challenge otherwise. The shower definitely needs some updating. But the view from our balcony was AMAZING! And we loved the popcorn and take out breakfast ♥️ Thank you!

When we arrived Sunday for our 3 day stay and their vacancy sign said, "Sorry." We had just found out that our son was going to be nearby that weekend. When we checked in, we asked if we could extend our stay through Saturday. The clerk promptly started hunting to get us a room. After finding a room, we were told we might have to move to a different room Wednesday, which was no problem. In the end, we didn't even have to move from our room. We needed some clean towels, asked, and had them in just a few minutes. Same with toilet paper. I definitely would recommend this place.

Across the street from the ocean A Pet friendly is ok but we didn't have a pet and got a pet room which had a smell and spots all over the worn carpet. Pet bed on the floor with bowl and bags. F- They did deduct from our bill when we checked out which I appreciated. A If I were to go to Newport again, I would look for a different place to stay. It definitely needs to be upgraded. Too low of toilets for a 75-year-old couple. Just old and smell of dog. So overall grade from me would be a C-.

Great view and location! Other than this: GARBAGE! Our room stunk, it was dirty, no soap. Just a pit. I realize that they are in the middle of a remodel, but seriously? STAY AWAY UNTIL THE REMODEL IS COMPLETE!
