We arrived about an hour and a half after the original check-in time, but our room still was not ready. The front desk staff also did not mention the $50 fee or explain the reimbursement or resort fee process (still waiting to get that money back). I only learned about it by overhearing another staff member. Once in the room, we noticed several issues: the Nespresso machine was broken, the shower floor felt soft underfoot, the table had only one chair, and the walls were thin, which made it hard to sleep with noisy neighbors. On the positive side, the facility was nice and the on-site restaurant offered good food, although the brunch service could have been better. Overall, it was a decent stay. It was not the best experience I have had, but certainly not the worst either.

I think everything was good. The only thing i can maybe say is the walls were a bit thin and at night we heard everything in the hallway and upstairs. These noises kept us up a bit and then there was also the extra 57$ charge when we checked out. The charge was for amenities+ parking which i wouldve thought wouldve been included in the original bill but it wasnt. Not a big deal but wouldve been better if that was mentioned in the beginning and not a surprise charge at the end. But other than that it was a decent room and comfortable. Enjoyed my stay. Love newport so i didnt mind.

Staff was great! The room was nice enough but had a strange kinda musty or earthy smell. Shower stall/tub area was kinda dark, but water pressure was great so still an enjoyable shower. Overall it wasn’t bad, and the location served our purpose well.

We had the two queen with a balcony which was really nice. The staff were all very courteous and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. The pillows were very comfortable and so was the bed. It’s the slow season right now so it was nice and quiet. Can’t speak for their lunch or dinner but we did have the breakfast which was just ok. $12 for 2 eggs, some fried potatoes (very dry), homemade strawberry jam (very good) and ONE slice of toast, not cool. lol Really cute hotel, though. Would definitely stay here again.
