"The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is centrally located and walkable to the beach and many restaurants. It would have been nice to have a room safe in our room and a closet. I assume we had one of the smaller rooms that maybe didn't have a closet. For a weekend stay that was fine, but I wouldn't want to stay a week with nowhere to hang up clothes. But all in all, for a short getaway trip, this was perfect and you sure can't beat the view! "
"We stayed during the week and it was so quiet and private yet in the middle of an area that has tons to do. Close to beaches to walk the shore, restaurants, etc. We had great food on the property and enjoy the pool and grounds. Will return! "
"We booked through Expedia and when we arrived there was no rooms. A wonderful lady at the desk was already on the phone with Expedia to get us odging at another hotel. Long story short at Aqua Blue came through because Expedia could not. I highly recommend Aqua Blue and DO NOT EVER RECOMMEND USING Expedia. After many hours on the phone with Expedia we ended up with just a credit that we probably will NEVER USE "
"Over the years we have stayed in almost every fine hotel in Newport. We have made the Castle Hill Inn our regular habit. This hotel is in a beautiful historic mansion on the ocean inlet and a is short walk to the oceanfront state park. The staff is helpful and eager to please, reminiscent of other top tier hotels. The massive oceanside lawn has many Adirondack style chairs to enjourage outdoor rest or socializing. There are indoor and outdoor bars that accomidate every taste even non-alcoholic...
"The mattress was a bit soft for me, but place was very clean, breakfast were gourmet quality, and the Inn Keeper was very pleasant, helpful and accomadating. "
"The property was fantastic, the AC worked great, the area was quiet. The staff couldn’t have been more kind, they were great all around. I would recommend the Francis Malbone Inn every time to anyone staying in Newport."
"Breakfast was amazing! The rooms were clean and new. The innkeeper was so kind, knowledgeable and easy to talk too. In an excellent location. I highly recommend and will be returning."
"Stayed two nights on the first floor and loved the cleanliness and added touches the staff members provide (welcome gift bag, spa-style slippers!, flavored water, sangria, etc.). The breakfast was so good! We stayed at another inn in RI right before this stay and Mill Street Inn has the other beat. We easily walked to the Breakers, cliff walk, shops and restaurants in the harbor area. No issues with check-in or check-out, convenient parking. I would stay here again."
"Lovely condo for a family! We were happy with the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen amenities and living space.
We will definitely be coming back for another stay.
