Super Friendly and accomodating staff. They took time to guide us in finding great dinning and other hidden gems. The historic charm of the properties and our room were something really unique and charming. We will definitely stay again when we return to Newport.

Be aware that when you book a room on this site, it may not be the room that you get. Once we arrived, we were given a key to check out a room on the third floor in a different building. It was a shotty room with unsafe locks and a lot of narrow stairs. I feel it was a way of forcing us to upgrade which we didn’t feel we should have needed to do. Management told us that they would throw in breakfast which we had already paid for online, but was never taken off of our bill.

Perfect location! It’s quaint and very authentic New England. Very charming property. We were schedule for the Mellvill House and got upgraded for $60 and it was very very worth it. Great experience. Easy walk downtown.

4/10 Fair

It's a period inn so I expected a small room. The room itself was quite nice, however, the bed mattress was extremely hard and uncomfortable. The room lock worked, but the main building lock didn't , so the building wasn't secure. Also I didn't receive any housekeeping service during my stay. Newport accommodation is always expensive and this was no exception, but the next time I visit I will spend my money elsewhere.
