I booked the suite with multiple beds. The room did not look like the pictures as advertised. The room was clean and staff was accommodating. That was the only positive. I noticed that the room only had 1 remote for 2 tv’s. The room did not have any dressers or drawers to put clothes in. The water took forever to get hot in the shower. When I was checking out online, there was an issue with the website and would not let me complete the checkout process. I was forced to make an unnecessary phone call.

The staff were super friendly. My only issue is all the doors in the hallways. I understand they had a fire which is probably why they have it. But they make soft closing doors kept us up all night. I was literally to the point where I was going to leave. Which would have stunk because the place wasn't that bad at all

Wonderful place to stay in Newport

Very clean and comfortable. Front desk staff was great, check-in was a breeze. Would love to try the restaurant for brunch or dinner, early morning options at 8 AM were limited, but they looked amazing. Very short uber ride to downtown Newport and Salve Regina.

Not enough drawers to put clothes in. Unfortunately we also killed a silverfish (cockroach) in the room. On the positive side, the room attendant cleaned the room every day so that we always had clean towels. Front desk staff and bar staff were very friendly.
