America's Cup Inn

The hotel was in a great location and the staff could not have been any nicer.

After two weeks traveling in the U.S. my wife and me wanted to relax the last 3 days in Newport RI before flying back from Boston to Europe, where we live. The hotel is the worse experience after 40 years of traveling around the world. Simple low level room in the 2. floor. No lift. A plank of wood was in front of the window. The air condition very noisy. The bathroom simple and small. Old and rickety furnitures and lamps. Some areas not clean. No parking, only at public parking space. We paid $ 917,32 for the room including breakfast plus $ 54.00 for parking.

Room was clean. It is a "homely" type of place. The hotel was right on Thames street which is the main area to be. The only negative was that you had to park in a parking lot across the street and had to pay for that separately. Though the hotel it was at a discounted rate of $19.00 per day. Friendly staff. And no complaints. I would go back and I would recommend it to a friend so long as they weren't fussy.

beautiful apartment-esque room. Great price and EXCELLENT breakfast in the morning. Couldn't ask for a better experience

For an affordable room right in the middle of downtown Newport, this hotel can't be beaten. It's a historic hotel so don't expect a pool, but the continental breakfast was excellent. Would've been nice to see any green features - no recycling, no CFLs, no way to turn down air conditioning, which was at full blast.

Very good experience. Great location, real close to all the shops and restaurants. However, make sure you shut your window at night and use the air conditioner as the outside gets very noisy in Newport. Breakfast was okay, kind of weird that you had to microwave your own food though, but the muffins and pastries were delicious.

The B&B was our first and we found the hotel clean, comfortable and ideally located for our trip. The staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed in one of the two double bed rooms on the second floor. It was perfect for our needs. Everything in the hotel worked and the staff/owners have gone out of their way to provide items to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. I did notice some wear and tear in the room but chalked it up to it being the end of the season. The self serve breakfast is unbelievable!! They provide a table full of anything you could possibly want to start your day. Being located on the main drag, it was easy to stop back to drop off purchases or to grab a sweater. I would stay again.

very cute accomodations; only negative would be the room was too warm at night. We were not able to control the temperature in the evening.

The America's Cup Hotel is situated in the heart of Newport. It appears the building is a historic site. If the guest realizes the challenges present in an old building then the minor inconveniences will be worth the value. By minor, I mean no elevator to service the five flights of stairs. My eleven year old was disappointed by the lack of TV. He quickly over came this dilemma when I engaged him in a good card game and book. A victory for parents everywhere. The room was of typical size, meticulously clean and equipped w/ a efficient air conditioner. It was also very quiet despite being situated directly on the very busy and loud Thames St. The hotel advertises a "Continental Breakfast". It was a complete breakfast spread catering to every diet type. I challenge anyone to find this type of accommodation at a value price in Newport.

I arrived at 8:30 PM for check-in, which was obviously too late for the small staff, which seems intent on leaving by 5 PM. The location in Newport is truly excellent, which to some extent offsets the lack of an in-room TV and the fact that parking is not included. The buffet breakfast was ample, but the qulaity of the croissants substandard. I would recommend this establishment only to people who are aflluent or can write off the stay as a business expense.
