The amazing staff in valet and the front desk staff were all kind and so helpful! My kids truly enjoyed the pantry every night having their free ice cream and the room felt so cozy just like home! We loved our stay here so much, wish it was longer!

This place is so nice. We loved the living room to chill and have a drink and a bite to eat. Everyone is so friendly and the rooms are huge! It’s not your basic hotel room. We stayed in a room with water views and it was perfect. The hotel is also conveniently located to everything.

Very friendly front desk and valet staff. I loved the refillable water station and pantry on each floor with ice and ice cream. I would call the style of the room and hotel as upscale coastal. Beautifully decorated and appointed. The bathrooms lack a little bit of privacy with the glass doors but it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience. The location is perfect with lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance. I would highly recommend this hotel to others.

Can’t beat the location to be able to walk around Newport! Rooms are nice and spacious and clean. The pillows weren’t the best match or comfortable, and the vent noise kicking on/off at night was a bit disruptive.
