Staff was really nice. The uniqueness of the hotel made it special. Good breakfast in the morning. I had a flight cxl and couldn’t get there until the next day, so, they changed arrival with no problem. Great location, walking distance to wharf and all the restaurants, etc.

The inn was in a great location.

What we appreciated most was the extra touch that the hotel provided, from cookies and coffee available at check-in and in the afternoon, to the terrific breakfast display (homemade oatmeal was fabulous) and friendly staff. Our favorite part, however, was the comfortable seating on the front porch. Just added that extra home-y touch. We will definitely return.

The staff and personable hospitality made the stay. Loved the homemade cookies, coffee and fruit out daily. Felt like we were staying at our friends or family home. Furniture a bit dated and sofas need cleaning

Cozy, clean rooms, perfect location with free parking. Lovely staff, they guided us well for our limited time in Newport. Yummy brekkie and full day complementary coffee. Air conditioning could benefit from an upgrade
