Top Downtown Newport Hotel Reviews

Americas Cup Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, convenient and very friendly staff. The breakfast was a plus!"

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Newport Harbor Hotel. We stayed in one of the marina facing king bed rooms and the view was phenomenal. The sunset over the bay is stunning. Also, the location right next to Bowen's wharf made exploring Newport so convenient. We could come and go as we pleased, drop off shopping bags, run out for a quick snack of coffee. It was perfect."

Hotel Viking

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel in a great location. Two bugbears: 1) the $50 a day “destination fee”. Why on earth not just be honest about the room rate? 2) the $17 per person free drink voucher which could only be used for a drink that cost $17 or less. Needless to say the drinks we ordered were not $17 or less. It was clever though - to use one voucher we ended up needing to buy 3 drinks because the first two didn’t count!"

Bellevue House

10/10 Excellent

"For our two days, we wanted to stay somewhere in town, walkable to the sites we planned to visit, for the right price since we don't spend a lot of time in the hotel, comfortable, and unique. We hit the jackpot with the Bellevue House, which is one property in a group. Probably an old boarding house. Lots of maritime art on the walls. Easy check-in. Free onsite parking. Access code to the building in case you return after hours. Our 3rd floor room was accessibly only by stairs. Spacious bathroom/shower area. A closet. An easy chair and small table. But no desk or luggage rack so we improvised. The bed wasn't as comfortable as I would have liked, but we managed with it for our two nights there. There is a gathering room on the 3rd floor. The highlight of our stay at Bellevue House was the complimentary breakfast! The chef prepares a different main offering each morning, and serves you! The quiche was delicious. Sausage one day, ham the next. Pancakes. You can also enjoy yogurt, pastries, cereal, and fruit, or make your own toast. Coffee and OJ too. It was really tasty!! A quaint stay...and we would stay there again."
