We had a great stay at the Attwater. Peter in reception was so helpful and friendly. The area is very walkable, right off of Bellevue and just a half mile to Thames Street. Plenty of restaurants and just a short drive to the Cliff Walk and the Newport mansions.

Absolutely Amazing

I recently stayed here with my bf, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The Attwater itself is absolutely beautiful. We stayed at the Lark room and it was immaculate—spotlessly clean and so thoughtfully designed. The bed was comfortable, ensuring restful nights, and the room itself was spacious and airy. I loved the nice lighting throughout, which created a relaxing atmosphere, and the fireplace was beautiful. The bathroom was equally impressive, featuring double sinks and a nice bathtub. A large closet and refrigerator for added convenience. The staff truly stood out—friendly, and attentive. Shout out to Peter who truly made my stay enjoyable. Breakfast was a highlight each morning, feeling homemade, healthy, and absolutely delicious. From fresh fruits to warm pastries. Plus, the availability of an ice maker, coffee, and tea anytime was a lovely touch. The location was another bonus. Situated within walkable distance to shops and restaurants. Overall, the Attwater provided a seamless blend of comfort, convenience, and hospitality. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay!

Great stay after Xmas

Great place with modern-beach vibes in a historic building. 1 min walk to Tennis Hall of Fame. The only small negative-too hot at night, had some difficulty regulating room temp.

We liked that it was an easy walk to restaurants, shops, the Cliff Walk and mansions. It is located on a quiet side street and there was parking available. It is clean and thoughtfully decorated. The gentleman who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. We booked a cozy looking room that had a fireplace. We arrived early, but were in no rush and were told we would get a text when the room was ready. We did not get a text and had to go back to check. We were told we had been “upgraded” to a queen suite. It was not in the same building and did not have a fireplace. It was comfortable enough, but not what we had booked. Breakfast was a bit strange and not very good, so we did not go the second morning.
