Had a great ocean front stay for two nights in a 2 bedroom unit. It was fantastic! Beds were super comfortable l. The units were very clean and fresh. Would most definitely stay again! What a view. The hotel staff were all so pleasant and helpful. I only have one complaint that the unit we had the heating vents were not functioning correctly. The master bedroom was freezing and the twin room at the other end of the unit was hot while sleeping.

Loved the convenient location near shops, restaurants and historic structures, roomy suite/condo and cherry-on-top helpful staff! Coffee in lobby was great; also coffee makers and coffee packs in suite. My son forgot his tooth brush but no worries, he was given a courtesy one. Computer and printer in lobby were a big help when I had something come up. I hope to return.

Overall, great stay. Clean, lots of room, pool was open during construction, and location was excellent for walking the area. Reason for not giving a 5-star is due to construction not all amenities were open, and we had a sliver of a view of the harbor. The listing stated view not guarenteed, but a view would have definitely made it a 5 star experience. We would gladly stay here again!

Perfect Location

Our accommodations were exactly as listed. Beds and bedding very comfortable and unit very sunny. Nice that there was a fireplace and came in handy on our one rainy and damp day. Best of all, location was amazing and main storefronts, wharf, tour trolleys and many restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely revisit Newport and stay here again!

Bait and Switch

The pictures listed do not reflect the actual unit you will stay in. The direct view is not of the harbor but of the pool and building across from pool. What you see in the pictures is not what you will get in the actual property. The layout is similar, balcony on each end and 2 bedrooms, but beyond that there is no similarity.
