The hotel is centrally located but is dated and could really do with a refurbishment! The room was large but the bathroom tiny. The noise at 5am on both nights woke us as the room was close to reception

Our room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was friendly. There was ample parking, and the inn is very walkable to downtown Newport. Breakfast was a mixture of hot oatmeal and various home baked goods and some breads. There were always cookies in the dining room in the afternoon. The lemon blueberry cookies were delicious! We’re frequent travelers, and we would stay here again.
