Just OK.

The hotel check in experience was lacking - no info provided on WiFi and we found pool to be locked from all entrances, but no one mentioned facility limitations or closures. No info provided re food, room service, etc. Otherwise the hotel is newly re done, cute looking and trendy - but not quiet, and heard rooms on all sides throughout stay.

This was our first trip to Newport, the Wayfinder was an excellent choice for our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice. We enjoyed some time at the pool, and enjoyed breakfast at the Little Clam restaurant. The location was very convenient. We definitely plan on returning.

Great. The boutique vibe is lost though due to all the children jumping and running around. maybe have a designated children time in the pool? The new restaurant has a different menu with not alot of options that go together. No theme.. no flow.
