Rhea's a gem of a location

Tony is a great host, the Inn is perfectly located across from a beautiful beach and just down the road from the northern entrance to the cliff walk and the mansions. The inn is situated about a 5-10 minute drive to downtown Newport and all the great restaurants and shops. The rooms are large, clean and well appointed and Tony has made sure that all safety protocol's are observed. There is a simple but adequate breakfast available and if you need a full breakfast there is a restaurant within walking distance. I recommend Rhea's for a great night's sleep and an excellent location at a great price.

This was the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed at and I’ve traveled a lot! Bedding and towels had a fresh scent like washed in your own house! Beds were comfortable. No hot breakfast but a variety of cereals, muffins, bagels cakes, fresh fruit, yogurt, tea,coffee,juices available 24/7. Stayed on the second floor with deck and jacuzzi tub. Views are the best from 3rd floor. Nice seating area on each floor for extra room if wanted. Walking distance to numerous restaurants, the beach, and the start of the Cliff walk. Extremely happy chose this area to stay in rather than upper Middleton where “ big name” hotels are located.Easy drive to downtown Newport, 5-8 minutes. Perfect location and perfect hotel for trip to Newport!!

Clean, well maintained little place to stay. Walking distance to beach and restaurants. Continental breakfast and plenty of complimentary snacks were a plus. Bed was comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. Full size tub, need to step up and over to get into shower.
