Negatives: The bed choices.

It was a perfect hotel for our girlfriends getaway. The trolley is right down the street and the best restaurants are close by. The staff and concierge were so helpful. The event manager at Pier 47 restaurant made me special tea with honey to help me with my cold. She was so wonderful. The Saturday morning buffet was wonderful at $12. The beds were so comfortable.

Positives: The location and staff was perfect.

Negatives: I wish it had a refrigerator and it was fairly difficult to find the entrance.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 21 Apr 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

Great location in the heart of Newport - no car needed. Everything right at your door. Clean hotel with friendly & efficient staff. Very nice swimming pool with steam room. Only drawback is no refrigerator unless you pay extra.

Positives: Request was met of king size bed and harbor view.

Negatives: Room is small and not much space for hanging clothes.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 19 Apr 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was clean, provided the necessities, was in a great location, and had a pool. There was no fitness center, not even a simple treadmill on site. The stay was worth the price we paid through price line, but not the retail prices quoted to guests at the front desk.

Positives: The hotel was located within walking distance of many wonderful shops and restaurants.

Negatives: The clerks at the front desk.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 07 Apr 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

This hotel is close to all the shopping and pubs. Very quick room service and staff is very friendly. One of the staff at the front desk remembers faces and that is nice.

Positives: Within walking distance to everything I wanted to do.

Negatives: Showerhead was weak, beds a bit small.

Upon entering I was cheerfully greeted. The staff was very helpful with finding the perfect restaurant to dine in. The swimming pool was a wonderful 80 degrees and is one of the deepest pools I have been in in a hotel. The restaurant serves a good breakfast as a very reasonable price. Overall this is a really fine hotel.

Positives: The hotel was located right where everything is wonderful!

Negatives: Our bathroom could be updated.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 17 Oct 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

This was a great hotel in a great location. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we extended our stay an extra night. Walking distance to all stores & restaurants in the area. Friendly staff thoughout the hotel.

Positives: The little extras that the hotel offered such as: free water bottles in room, newspapers, etc.

Negatives: Chlorine level in the pool was too high.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for three nights as part of our honeymoon. We were greeted by an unfriendly staff member that swiped my debit card prior to me reading and signing the statement discussing the amount hold they would be placing on my card. When we asked to switch the card, she was short and unwilling to help. We arrived at the room to have two queen beds, instead of the king we requested. The internet and remote did not work in our first room. Underneath the shower floor was filled with water and felt like walking on a moon bounce. When we talked with staff about our concerns, they dismissed them, even when my husband discussed that he was a licensed home inspector and he had concerns that the water was going to be going into the room underneath us unless the issue was immediately attended to. They had no plans to fix the problem. A staff member came upstairs later on to change the batteries on the remote and my husband suggested that they take a look at the bathtub. We were placed into another room, which bathtub did not drain properly and the water rose well above our ankles. The toilet lid had been broken in 5 places and had been glued back together. Additionally, housekeeping did not clean our room until after 4:00. We have stayed in lower star hotels that were of much higher quality and had much more respectful staff members. We were extremely disappointed.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Unfriendly staff, non-functional showers (in two rooms), internet did not work, hotel staff was not upfront about policies.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 06 Jun 2010 rated 4 out of 10.

This was an average hotel at best, the staff was not very helpful and seemed overworked. All in all, I would not go back to this place even though I will go back to the area again.

Positives: It was in a nice area of the town.

Negatives: I was a longer term guest, yet they put us in a double bed room for our anniversary.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 22 Oct 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

Very nice hotel with great view and location; shopping, dining, and historical interests right outside your door. Room was tastefully decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed the Keurig coffee maker. We even had binoculars in the room to enjoy the view!

Positives: View, location, decor, and the shower were great.

Negatives: Room was a little small. Desk clerk seemed aloof.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 06 Oct 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

This was a very good deal. The hotel staff wasn't the friendliest, but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the hotel is located right next to downtown Newport. You can easily walk to the shops and restaurants.

Positives: Located within walking distance to everything.

Negatives: Got a room that overlooked the parking lot, and was right next to the lobby.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 04 Sep 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

Great location.

Positives: location

Negatives: Paying for parking

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 05 Aug 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

The hotel is in a great location, but the rooms are not really that nice. All night long there is a lot of noise from crowds of people walking by the room. We had a room on the first floor on the parking lot so it was noisy. The pool was small and there was no jacuzzi.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: On the first floor practically in the parking lot, very noisy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 02 Aug 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

Great location. We were pleased with the room decor and amenities for a 3 star hotel. Had a little problem with the in-room AC the first night. We would highly recommend this hotel for price and location.

Positives: Well appointed room and amenities, close to everything.

Negatives: Can get loud if facing the street.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 08 Jul 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

Having lived in Newport I' ve always wanted to stay at this hotel. I knew it was nice but it met all of my expectations and more. It was in the perfect location, clean, and just wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone.

Positives: Great location!

Negatives: Parking is at a premium.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 24 Jun 2009 rated 3 out of 10.

Very ordinary rooms badly in need of renovation and as the clerk at the front desk, you have no chance of a harbor view, I can confirm that for both of the rooms I.

Positives: The location was right in the heart of Newport so very handy.

Negatives: Dated, tired old rooms and hotel.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 30 Sep 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Excellent location, very pleasant decor and feeling of freshness and good maintenance. Comfortable bed and pillows, all in all, a nice feeling of quiet luxury for the price.

Positives: Comfortable bed and quiet room with bath robes.

Negatives: Charge of $15.00 to park, not mentioned when we arrived.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 25 Sep 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Overall, a nice place to stay. The bathroom was very small with a single sink and not any counter space around the sink. One of my biggest complaints of any hotel is having to pay for parking when your paying to stay there but I guess more and more hotels are charging for parking now. Perfect location right on Newport Harbor, you can walk out the back door and right into the streets of Newport.

Positives: Location, right on Newport Harbor.

Negatives: Small bathroom (single sink no counter space).

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 08 Sep 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

The hotel exceeded my expectations. It is a beautiful, very tasteful hotel and loved the service as well.

Positives: It was clean, pleasant, and beautiful. Very well designed. Loved it.

Negatives: Nothing I didn't like about it.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 05 Sep 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

If staying in Newport you can't get any closer to the action. Located at Bowens Wharf it's a few steps to everything on the Harbor. Nice pool, generally friendly staff, and a well appointed room. The hotel itself is an older property, with a couple of face lifts, not top notch by any means, but comfortable. I did have an issue checking in, somehow all of my credit cards were declined. To add insult to injury, the person checking me in did not seem to care much, and further more did not think it odd that this could occur. Feeling like a deadbeat, I called American Express and it was determined that the problem was at their end, however they just shrugged and were unwilling to do anything about it. Luckily the Amex person told me exactly what to say to them, and with some gentle persuasion which included raising my voice to a packed check-in audience, they called did a verbal approval. Not the best front desk.

Positives: The location can't get much better.

Negatives: Had issues checking in, the staff did not seem to care.

Clean and cozy harbor hotel with great parking, located right in the heart of downtown.

Positives: Great location.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 23 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

We had 2 very comfortable beds like we requested. The room was kept clean and tidy. We loved the fact that we could park the car & walk to restaurants and shopping.

Positives: Ideal location to walk within Newport's marina area.

Negatives: Charge for parking and toilet ran off & on all night.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 21 Aug 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Very well located if you want to be in the heart of activity on Thames Blvd. On the bay and very nice if you have a water view room. Close to many fine restaurants and shopping.

Positives: Well located.

Negatives: Twins beds.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 12 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

We had a great weekend.

Positives: Immediate response from management when a family dog was allowed in the pool by it's owner.

Negatives: Access to the pool by boaters docked at the marina; especially when 4 family and about 16 kids arrived at once.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 05 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

This hotel met all expectations, the location was central to all Newport activities, as well as a perfect spot on the marina. The pool was well maintained and enjoyable. The staff was friendly and informative. The only downside was the additional cost for parking.

Positives: Great Location, friendly staff, clean, pool, non-smoking in all areas and rooms.

Negatives: Parking was an additional cost; it was unclear until I checked out.
