Hotel Viking
Front Desk staff were very average, no eye contact, no welcome, when we checked out again no eye contact or interest if we had a nice stay

Mill Street Inn
Hotel was amazing. Had some mold on the fruit for breakfast. I’m sure it was a one off.

Serenity Inn Newport
It's easy to see why this is a five star property. We even asked to extend our stay and are already discussing our next trip back. Absolutely stay for breakfast. Lisa went above and beyond to make everything perfect. So close to everything, comfortable, and amazing.

The Pell - Part of JdV by Hyatt
Everything was great, the only issue was that the sound insulation was very poor. I could hear everyone on either side of my wall and above me. This made my stay feel less private and made sleep difficult.
