Our stay at The Wayfinder was excellent. Staff were incredibly nice and so helpful. It was a great location and a very quick ride to downtown. We are incredibly thankful for a pet friendly hotel so our fur baby can come on vacation with us. The hotel and rooms were very clean with very unique and memorable style. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Newport.

Overall a nice stay. Good location. But we had to ask for toilet paper, the phone didn’t work, sage was broken, and a/c was not strong and the shower leaked constantly. We did ask the front desk to fix the problems and only one was addressed.

This was our first trip to Newport, the Wayfinder was an excellent choice for our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice. We enjoyed some time at the pool, and enjoyed breakfast at the Little Clam restaurant. The location was very convenient. We definitely plan on returning.

Not super fancy but very clean and coastal. Staff was friendly. Good coffee spot in the lobby for mornings. Pool isn't the greatest but would keep kiddos happy/burn off energy if you arent feeling a beach day. Not really walking distance to anything but central to most activites, ie. Cliff Walk, Mansions, Thames st.
