It is in a good location and the staff is friendly. I was surprised when I got a call asking when we would arrive. They were making sure we knew they closed at 5. I wasn’t aware of that but it wasn’t a big deal and they give a code to the front door to come in after hours. Breakfast was good. Overall good, we are just not used to not having any hotel staff in site. They were sure we had a contact number for that time

The Attwater has everything you could want in an inn - modern bathrooms and decor, comfortable bed, lovely breakfast, free parking, and it is within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Our spacious King suite (on the 3rd floor) had wood floors, a mini fridge, and a gas fireplace in a separate sitting area. The mansions, Cliff Walk, and Thames Street are a short drive away. (All are within walking distance too). The Inn keeper(s) do everything in their power to ensure check-in is easy and your stay is comfortable. Be sure to do the Ocean Drive loop and stop at Picnic or Cru Cafe for lunch.

Beautiful and friendly

The Attwater is a beautiful boutique B&B in downtown Newport. Check in was easy and friendly. We got upgraded to the king suite which had 2 large rooms and a decent sized bathroom. Everything is clean and bright colors. A teapot and coffee are out all day which is a nice touch. Breakfast was a wonderful array of tapas style offerings. I would stay here again!

The Attwater is a beautiful Inn. We found it to be a nice blend of nautical charm and comfort. The bed was comfortable. We did have some trouble with hot water at the bathroom sink. Not sure why but it was just luke warm. We did pay for an upgrade to the urban beach house and it was nice; however, my husband is 6'7" and he couldn't take a shower. If we had stayed more than two nights it would have been an issue. Staff should pay attention to these things at check in. The room had a slanted ceiling on the top floor and the pitch in the shower was impossible for him to stand up in. Overall a good stay and nice people.

This property was adorable, well kept and clean. We were upgraded for free upon our arrival to a king suite and it was perfect!! Peter was wonderful and filled with so much knowledge and personality. The area was perfect for walking to get something to eat, explore and central to the fun things Newport offers. The burgers and drinks at Joes were phenomenal, pasta beach was yummy (both gluten free friendly) and the breakfast at Attwater was so different and perfect. Very healthy!!!

A Great Place to Stay!

We had an excellent stay in the Lark suite and the host Peter was super helpful! The room was incredibly clean, the hotel is in a great location and the daily breakfast with pastries, frittatas, and smoothies was such a nice treat! Will definitely be back.
