Our room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was friendly. There was ample parking, and the inn is very walkable to downtown Newport. Breakfast was a mixture of hot oatmeal and various home baked goods and some breads. There were always cookies in the dining room in the afternoon. The lemon blueberry cookies were delicious! We’re frequent travelers, and we would stay here again.

Honestly a great stay and very clean. Only thing that could be better is the air conditioning. The rooms have small built in units that barely work, which resulted in our room staying in the mid 70s at all times. After showers, the room would jump up into the 80s. Not a huge deal, or a dealbreaker as the stay was still excellent.
