The staff were super friendly. My only issue is all the doors in the hallways. I understand they had a fire which is probably why they have it. But they make soft closing doors kept us up all night. I was literally to the point where I was going to leave. Which would have stunk because the place wasn't that bad at all

Wonderful place to stay in Newport

Very clean and comfortable. Front desk staff was great, check-in was a breeze. Would love to try the restaurant for brunch or dinner, early morning options at 8 AM were limited, but they looked amazing. Very short uber ride to downtown Newport and Salve Regina.

Not enough drawers to put clothes in. Unfortunately we also killed a silverfish (cockroach) in the room. On the positive side, the room attendant cleaned the room every day so that we always had clean towels. Front desk staff and bar staff were very friendly.
