The room was clean and Ashland at the front desk was friendly and great.
Excellent vacation and staying at the Gardiner house was wonderful! Beautifully decorated spaces, delicious food and beverages, friendly helpful staff and easily walkable sites, tours and restaurants!
The charm of Gardiner House is surely a draw, and there is something special about a hotel that offers even small amenities like water bottles or turndown service or daily cleaning of the room--these are lost luxuries for most hotels today! The room was clean and staff was so friendly. The location was fabulous, and the bar was gorgeous.
Super convenient to the wharf and waterfront. Great breakfas included in stay as well as parking. The rooms have super high ceilings and simply pleasing decoration.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we even extended it an additional night. The staff was fantastic and the downstairs lounge area was one of our favorite spots!
This was a wonderful hotel. Staff were wonderful. The restaurant was terrific. Breakfast was delicious. I would recommend black out curtains on the window. Cant wait to return
The property was newly developed with a beautiful French flair to its design.
The staff was extremely courteous and accommodating. I will definitely be staying there again without a doubt!! ❤️
The staff was courteous and professional. A very clean room with an excellent bed and deluxe fixtures in the bathroom. Cozy and spacious lounge with great bartenders and waitstaff, comfortable seating, and a fireplace. The light breakfast included croissants, yogurt, fruit, and coffee in a very nice sunroom.
The property is a great location with clean rooms and a nice staff. Domenic was especially helpful when we arrived from west coast travel...changed our room and gave good advice on all. The restaurant is overrated and very crowded and noisy...like the town feels when its packed. Do not book a car with the hotel for the airport....their recommended service did not show up for the 4:30am transfer to the airport.

Lovely and comfortable room - clean, nice linens, nice bathroom, good blackout shades. Service was not in keeping with what I would expect for a high end hotel - they were kind but inefficient, housekeeping was loud, and staff were not particularly knowledgeable or helpful. It was also so loud on a Saturday night - from both the hotel restaurant and the restaurant next door - music went on well past midnight. Food at the restaurant was excellent, but maybe overpriced. Overall, not a good value for how much money we paid, but nice enough.
We went there for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. The staff could not have been more professional and accommodating, going above, and beyond making us feel welcome, and every amenity attended to before we ever had to ask it seemed. The rooms were above and beyond gorgeous, pristine and complemented Newport in every way. It felt as if we were a guest in one of the Bellevue Avenue mansions and a friends house versus a hotel.
The lounge room had a wonderful fireplace to warm up against after a cool evening and a bar that seem to provide any libation one could want.
Hats off to the interior designer as the color schemes, details, and overall character of the hotel are amazing and extraordinarily well thought through.
We like to thank everybody for their hospitality, and are looking forward to staying again the next time in Newport.
It was a beautiful and clean hotel. For the price, I expected a bit more in terms of guest communication and service. When we checked in, we weren’t given any info about WiFi or breakfast. Once we got to the room, we realized it was a deluxe room rather than a premier room which we had paid for. The breakfast was a standard hotel breakfast, but there wasn’t forks or napkins set up, even though we arrived at 9 and the breakfast is listed to go until 10. Overall, it was comfortable and beautifully decorated, but I personally didn’t think it was worth the price.

The building itself is stunningly beautiful inside and out so I was slightly disappointed at the room itself which was beautiful but soulless. The heating was not great and I was there when it snowed. There is no room service and no phone which I found unacceptable especially as a single female traveller. A note next to the ice bucket said 'If you want ice get it from the bar'. There was no facility to make coffee (and no way to order one) and the refreshment selection was underwhelming. The bath towels were the size of flannels - this is a pet peeve of mine. WHY do hotels of this 'quality' not have large bath towels?! The water pressure was not great. No seat at the desk. The room key has the name of the hotel and the room number - not great if you drop it somewhere. The fan in the bathroom did not work. I could feel the sharp gripper underneath the very thin carpet at some places. The Restaurant was fantastic, great ambience, the food was excellent (great choices) and the staff were helpful, kind and very personable. Breakfast was better than advertised - it said in the blurb that 'Continental Breakfast' was included but they also had a selection of eggs and pancakes which was a bonus! I would say that as this is a very new hotel maybe it just needs to grow into itself. I hope so as it has huge potential if they get the little things right.
The room was spotless and the bed was extremely comfortable
The shower was fantastic
And the bar was the perfect spot to watch the Super Bowl. Highly recommend this beautiful hotel.
