Super accommodating, very friendly and helpful staff. Stayed in ground floor, 2 room suite. For those Jewish Sabbath observant: close proximity to Touro Synagogue and walkable sights, kosher options for breakfast, classic room keys for Shabbos.

We stayed in the Carriage house and it was extremely noisy. People walking at night by the house were loud and all the traffic noise could be heard. The house was not well maintained. There were bugs in the room and the radiator knobs were not working to adjust the heat even though we were told we could adjust them. The mattress was not comfortable and the carpet looked very dirty.
We also were not happy with the breakfast as it was the same each day- boiled eggs, yogurt, danishes, breads, oatmeal, milk, juice, coffee and fruit.
The only part we were happy with was the location. This was definitely not worth it for the price.

Don't confuse Old World Charm with Old and in need of repair. The drawers in our room would not open and close with ease. The mattress did not fit the bed as there was a gap at the top where the pillows would fall in the crack as there was no headboard. Only 1 chair in the room with 2 guests and the mirror above the fireplace was not useful as you could not use it to see anything. The only towel rack in the bath was over the toilet where the 2 towels provided were hung and not reachable from the small shower. A towel rack near the shower and sink would have been helpful. Breakfast was basic and the exact same every day of our stay which was 4 days. Most of the staff were not friendly. When they would enter a room in the morning, they didn't even say good morning. Not once did anyone ask if we had everything we needed. I never saw the host. After sightseeing around town, there were so many other nice places to stay but the website was attractive. Don't be fooled by pretty pictures.
Walkability: the trolley stop was right outside the front door

I stayed here for one night. Most of the staff were very friendly. Location was very convenient, a quick walk to lots of restaurants/ shops.
The rooms were well maintained, but do have some quirks since it's an older building. For example, the rooms are not very soundproof, so you could hear noise from outside and there wasn't really anywhere to put anything in the bathroom. An empty shelf or cart would have helped a lot.
Decent continental breakfast and appreciated that parking was included. I personally wasn't bothered that some had to double park and leave their keys with the staff.

AMAZING. If we return to Newport, I hope we can get a room here again. Very old-school house, so don't expect serious tech amenities, but they definitely do their best. It is charming, the rooms are decorated beautifully, the roof deck is amazing- really worth a stay. The only complaint I have is the lack of ventilation in the bathroom- a steamy shower can be a problem when there isn't a vent or window that opens.If TV is a big deal to you, maybe ask for a room with a larger one. We didn't use the one in our room but it might have been a challenge to view from the bed if we had. Breakfast was lovely- continental, but better than the usual chain version. Service was great. Location was amazing.Walkability: Close to many restaurants, shopping, a couple mansions, museums, library, ocean views- all in walking distance.Food & drinks: Breakfast- above average for a hotel continental breakfast. Many options, charming atmosphere.

This inn is a good value for the area and is close to shops and restaurants. The parking is tight, so you may want to make sure to get a small rental car. We had the double queen room, which was adequate in size. The room could use another mirror, and the bathroom has limited space to put your toiletries. Also, towel racks or hooks were absent. We found that just a few inexpensive additions like this would really help! The beds were comfortable and I slept very well with all the waking during the day. Loved the chocolate chip cookies and delicious coffee daily.

This was a really cute, 1850s bed and breakfast that was perfectly located a couple blocks off downtown. Not for people who like the amenities you'll find in hotels (like my wife), but my daughters and I liked it. Nice, clean rooms, and the suites have separate rooms with the bathrooms in between. Window units have to work overtime to keep the rooms cool in July, but it does the trick. Wonderful 3rd floor deck to hang out on, free breakfast in the basement that is nothing to write home about. Staff was hit or miss...a couple of them acted like you'd just crashed their yacht in the harbor when you spoke to them, but maybe that's because I'm used to nice, friendly people, being from TX. Coulda been a cultural thing. Best part was yummy chocolate chip cookies they keep available to you.

the perfect inn for our stay in newport! it's perfectly located to quickly walk to town. we stayed in room 3, which had two rooms adjoined by a bathroom. it was perfect for a family and conveniently on the first floor. the roof had a great seating area, and yummy hot breakfast was served daily in the basement.

Loved our stay at this inviting & cozy historic inn. Feels more like staying in a home. Both Meg & Alesia at the front desk are very friendly & helpful. Rooms are clean & comfortable. Bee Kind products including soap, shampoo, body wash & lotion are available in baskets in your bathroom. Daily breakfast is much more than continental includes hot oatmeal & toppings, variety of yogurts, hard boiled eggs, toast, bagels, muffins, waffles, croissants, variety of cereals, OJ, fruit, coffee, tea. Appreciate they have almond milk. Daily fresh baked chocolate chip cookies & outstanding variety of teas available from Harney & Sons in the afternoon Refrigerator & microwave available downstairs to store food. Outdoor roof garden patio is a lovely treat. Walkable to downtown. Free trolley to Mansions & Cliff Walk stops right outside the front door. Free parking in back is a huge plus.

Amazing place. We were in town for the Oyster Fest and The Ocean Race. This was a very comfortable place to stay had an excellent breakfast selection and was right in town and could walk to everything. We will be back!
