Top Exploration Center and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent

"Very confortable rooms and helpful staff. Great location easy to find."

Walk to beach, Huge deck off kitchen, roof-deck, king master, close to town

10/10 Excellent

"This beautiful home worked out very well for us and our extended family. The home was super clean, and the kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. The accommodations were excellent and we appreciated the family allowing us to stay there with short notice. Excellent location and beautiful views!"

Wyndham Newport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was beautiful on the water with a shuttle to downtown. It is under construction but I didn’t hear any noise while I was there."

Atlantic Beach Hotel Newport

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect beach hotel - easy access to the beach and restaurants. Nice upper level patio with beach view. Simple furnishings help reduce sand collection. Staff is great at keeping the hotel clean."

Newport Beach Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The location is fantastic- it’s right across from the beach and within walking distance of Cliff Walk. There are places to eat also within walking distance and a very short drive to downtown Newport. The room we had was clean and had a great view. The breakfast was a nice touch and any minor issue we had was handled promptly by the staff. (Needing another blanket or vending machine needing to be refilled!) Just note that the elevator is slow and a little small/clunky but it works and is up to code! It’s not fancy- more like a beach vibe- and was a great stay."

Newport - Exclusive Renfrew Park Beach House Waterview Apartment, Central A/C

10/10 Excellent

"Always fun to stay in an adorable local rental! The host was amazing and super responsive before and during our stay. Location was great, and the property was clean and comfortable...we appreciated the bright, updated bathroom, coffee maker (and half and half in the fridge!), iron and ironing board, parking space and beautiful quiet neighborhood. Part of its charm is that it's on the top floor and has slanted ceilings, so just take note if you're tall."
