Wayfinder Newport

10/10 Excellent

"Don't judge a book by its cover! Great beachy vibe. Delicious breakfast. Wish the kitchen had extended hours - only complaint."

The Attwater

8/10 Good

"The hotel’s location is fabulous. It’s in a very quiet part of Newport and a short 7 min walk to Thames Street. My room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The sheets were like butter and my pillows were the best part! The bathroom was a little small but everything else made up for it. I will definitely be staying there again!"

Newport Beach Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the proximity to the beach (right across the street), the free delicious breakfast, and free parking! It’s a quick drive into downtown Newport. My family of 5 (husband and 3 teenage daughters) stayed in a 2 separate queen rooms that were connected by a bathroom. There are only 2 beds but they squeezed in a rollaway. The bathroom is really nice but I wished for a shower curtain (it’s all glass) so that one teenager could get ready while another showered. We appreciated the full size shampoo and conditioner as well as hand soap and lotion. We spent two nights. One day we went to the beach and walked over to Flo’s to get lobster rolls, hot dogs, fries, and other lunch foods and then ate it on the beach. We also LOVED Pasta Beach Restaurant which was a short drive across the bridge Into downtown. We walked to the cliff walk which saved money on parking and made it about half way down and back in less than 2 hours. Hotel staff was very helpful and attentive. They had a “virtual assistant” text messaging system that we used for requesting more towels and even restaurant recommendations! Very cool feature. We would definitely stay here again. If we stayed any longer we’d have wanted a suite with somewhere to sit besides beds, but this room was perfect for a short stay for our family!"
