  • When I lived in Boston, I took the subway (MBTA) down to Rhode Island for a weekend getaway. The one thing that's great about the east coast is the close proximity to so many states. In Rhode Island, I was able to take an Uber around. You don't really need a car to travel around Rhode Island for a weekend. #LifeAtExpedia

This property was spotlessly clean! The parking was easy and the area safe with walkable restaurants. It’s very close to first beach and the cliff walk. The coffee, fresh fruit and grab able breakfast options were perfect for us as well. The owner was super friendly with a very easy check in. I hope to stay again next time we are in Newport!

This property was phenomenal. The energy was welcoming from the start. The room was very clean, not a speck of dust was found. A very cute and spacious room. The area of the inn was perfect as well. A good walk to the beach, local food places you can walk to all around, close to Newport where you can shop and eat. It was an enjoyable stay, affordable, and lovely. Will book again.
