Hotel is adorable. Gorgeous views from back terrace. Staff are lovely. Giant air conditioning units on roof right outside our window. Like listening to an engine all night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s a historic hotel, so it does not feel like a new or updated hotel, which is not a bad thing! Very clean and has a beautiful view. Bed was comfortable. There is only 21 rooms or so, so it is very quiet but the walls are thin - easy to hear people in the hallway. The restaurant was closed while we were there (which is odd since we were there on season). About a 10 - 15 minute drive to downtown Newport.

It was very disappointing the first night there was a wedding and it was so loud and filled with people who had too much to drink, we couldnt sleep. The next night it was too quiet the bar and the restaurant was closed. Staff never said hello or good evening.

The only staff we had contact with was the front desk. They were cordial. No staff available in the breakfast area -toaster was not plugged in so it wasn’t working. Refrigerator in room cycled on and off and the bed was creaky.

Ocean Cliff is a beautiful hotel sitting atop a cliff away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The room was spacious and bed comfortable with a mini fridge, coffee maker and safe. We loved the restaurant and the views.

Liked: Cleanliness
Loved the old orginal building. Our room was large in a quite side of the building. The room phone didn't work, had the maintenance person check it, but it wasn't changed out with a working phone. Each time we used our cell phone and left messages at the front desk for help, the staff never received the messages. There was no maid service to replenish supplies.
