The amazing staff in valet and the front desk staff were all kind and so helpful! My kids truly enjoyed the pantry every night having their free ice cream and the room felt so cozy just like home! We loved our stay here so much, wish it was longer!
Perfect stay. Hotel was beautiful, location was perfect. Every single person who works here is so nice and accommodating. This is by far the nicest dog friendly botel we have ever stayed at
Very happy with our stay, the staff are the nicest. The room was spacious and quiet, bed very comfortable , free drinks are a bonus. Nice dining area in the room. Would love to stay again

Staff was terrific. Hotel was clean and the perfect location for walking around downtown Newport
Our room was well appointed, clean and furnishings modern and comfortable.
Parking attendants were very friendly and helpful.
Super nice property with great view of the marina. Room was spacious and comfortable. Bathroom was also spacious clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend. And will definitely be going back there for a return future visit!
Well appointed, clean hotel. Built 5 years ago. Great location and they have bikes available which was extremely nice to use. The living room area of the hotel is cozy and the food and staff are great. Chocolate chip cookies left on your bed every night! In my opinion, the nicest place to stay in Newport because the old Inns, the marriott and Gurneys are all musky.
The location was perfect. We had a balcony with a beautiful view of the harbor. It was very conveniently located and walkable. We also took a boat ride on the Brenton One which was the highlight of our trip. We have nothing but amazing things to say about our stay at The Brenton
