Spacious hotel close to the beach and Newport attractions. Continental breakfast was varied and includes yogurt, fruit, cereal, pastries, etc. Communal microwave in the kitchen was very convenient. As some other reviews have noted the walls are thin so if you are a light sleeper, plan to have the A/C on or bring a noise machine.
