Newport Harbor Island Resort

8/10 Good

"Sheets and beds are very comfortable!!!"

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at this hotel after moving my daughter into URI. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to visit the mansions in Newport. The room was clean, beds were comfortable, water pressure was good in the shower. We like the fact that we had our own private balcony. Complementary breakfast was good to start our day. Free parking. I have no complaints about our stay here."

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, the hotel was beautifully maintained, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Everything was wonderful, and we truly enjoyed our experience. We would definitely love to come back!"

Newport Beach Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Ivy at the front desk was lovely and very helpful, including letting me know there is a $10 discount for the breakers entry if tickets were bought at the hotel. The room was clean and quite large. The breakfast Saturday morning was mostly breaded products. I am celiac, but I don’t anticipate accommodation for that so not an issue. I would highly recommend staying here. There may be some stairs involved in making your way to your room so maybe pack a little lighter."

"Hotel is in a great location, rooms are very clean as is the rest of the hotel. My only issues are the pillows in the room- very uncomfortable and the fact that you are paying for parking. Outside of that, it was great. Staff is lovely and helpful!"
