There was a wedding during our stay and the music stopped at 10:30 PM. That was considerate. Young folks (college age) ran up and down the hallways until 3 AM. Only negative thing I can say. A beautiful venue on a wonderful setting. I would return for sure. Thanks, D Conner

For the price of a five-star resort, the experience delivered little more than three-star comfort. The property’s setting is undeniably scenic—nestled amid Newport’s storied outskirts and within easy reach of the grand mansions—but beauty alone cannot disguise the shortcomings within. At $500 per night, expectations naturally rise; yet the reality was underwhelming. The room felt dated, the bed lacked comfort, and the bathroom offered only the most basic amenities. Everything was clean, certainly, but devoid of the charm or coziness that might redeem its simplicity. Even at half the rate, the experience would have been disappointing. At full price, it was verging on absurd. In short, this is a property whose setting promises far more than its execution delivers.

Wedding party was from 5:30 to 8:30 pm but the loud noises and music continued until after 11:00 pm. No response from staff or management. Had to resort to calling the police.

OceanCliff is a beautiful property with stunning views of the Newport Bridge—that’s the highlight. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience fell short. Our Queen room was very basic, reminiscent of a college dorm, and located directly above the kitchen. By 7 AM, loud music coming from the kitchen made it impossible to sleep in. We also had a poor experience at the on-site restaurant. After a polite greeting, the hostess Rae seemed annoyed with us for no reason. Though we asked to sit outside on a beautiful, empty evening at 5 PM, we were told the tables were reserved. Eventually, we were moved outside, but when we left around 6:30, the outdoor tables were still unoccupied—clearly, they were never actually reserved. To top it off, one of us got food poisoning. And at checkout, no one even asked how our stay was—which is usually standard. It just reinforced the feeling that OceanCliff doesn’t care about guest experience. Between the rude service, early morning noise, and questionable food, we won’t be returning. A pretty view isn’t enough to make up for poor hospitality.

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.

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.
