Top Downtown Newport Hotel Reviews

Cleveland House

10/10 Excellent

"Rick was a wonderful host, the room was great, and we slept so well. Awesome central location too."

Newport Bay Club and Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay right in the center of Newport. Very clean, big suites, nice staff. Not a great place to stay if you’re a light sleeper or want a quiet night. Being right downtown people were outside all hours of the night and we could hear it all. Also, a truck or forklift beeping below from 3:30am for at least an hour. What was a great spot turned into not so great due getting about 2 hrs of sleep."

Admiral Farragut Inn

10/10 Excellent

"2nd time here and there will def be a 3rd. Rick, the owner, always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels taken care of (right down to helping a friend who was coming to meet us secure parking). All of the buildings in his constellation of B&Bs are historic and on a picture-postcard street (exactly what you want in historic district) and equally accessible to main drag of Thames and the wharves (5 mins walk to the bar we were going to and even better, a 5 mins walk home)."

The Outlook Inn

8/10 Good

"Few complaints about the inn itself. The problem started on the day before our arrival with an email from an unknown company saying "We need a valid copy of your ID before we can provide". I had fully paid for my room 8 months in advance. It turned out that the company owns this as well as other inns. The Director I spoke with on the phone implied they would not provide a room key code unless I agreed to their extensive legal conditions and sent my driver's license image."
