Very clean, cozy, friendly staff, and beautiful house inside and out. You also can’t beat the location and price! We walked to everything and I would love to stay at the Serenity Inn the next time we go to Newport.

Amazing hotel! It’s super centrally located to all of the Newport happenings. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well furnished. You can tell they put a lot of effort into the details here. And it’s totally dog friendly!
