Melville House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Very helpful staff"

Cleveland House

8/10 Good

"The property was located in an excellent area, right near free transportation and lots of good restaurants. There was some on-site parking but it was very small and backing out of the lot was very tricky. The management was very nice and saw to it that we were assigned a first floor room and help with our luggage. my biggest complaint was that no one serviced our room during our two night stay. Towels were not refreshed and the one and only small trash can in the suite was never emptied and was overflowing by the time we left. Overall, I feel the good outweighed the bad and would consider re-visiting again."

Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the Hotel Viking. Lovely room with comfy bed and pillows. Plenty of room in bathroom and great towels. Super cold A/C and the room was remarkably quiet. We had breakfast each morning which was awesome and the bar area is very welcoming. Convenient location to walk to the wharf/downtown as well as the mansions which was good since driving around is a nightmare. Friendly staff. My only complaint is that there was no safe in the room. Would stay there again."

Mill Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Mill Street. The location is perfect. It’s close to restaurants and free transportation, but away from the crowded touristy streets. Our room was quiet and felt very private. Breakfast, including delicious coffee, was delivered to our room every morning. We started our day in a hotel provided robe, on our private balcony overlooking the harbor, enjoying a wonderful breakfast. Highly recommend"

Forty 1 North

10/10 Excellent

"Flawless experience! Everything was perfect. We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Forty 1 North. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the overall experience was outstanding. It is hands down the best place to stay in Newport, Rhode Island. Highly recommended!"
