Dishonest owner

Dishonest owner: charges almost the same price for a tiny room without a toilet as for a suite three to four times larger. The bedding is of extremely poor quality — it looks like it was salvaged from a garage sale. The shared toilets are far down the hallway, which is dangerous, especially for people who wake up at night — there’s a real risk of falling down the stairs. The female owner is very unpleasant, unlike her husband or partner, who seems kinder. We explained that it was impossible for us to stay and tried to reach a compromise, but she was completely unwilling — all she cares about is money. We had to leave and give up both rooms, even though we had already paid. There was no attempt to retain us or offer a solution. Honestly, this kind of behavior gives a terrible impression of the U.S.: a greed for money at any cost. It’s sad.

Cosey, characterful house in the center of Newport, Easy to walk everywhere. Very nice host.

Great location, and owner was very helpful and had the room ready early so we could change in time to get to our event when it began instead of being delayed by having to check in later at the stated time.

A fabulous find in Newport!

Our room was so clean and having towels refreshed every couple of days was fantastic. The owner was kind and had an abundance of recommendations for us during our stay. Great recommendations for food and entertainment. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable stay in a charming historic property

The Inn is only a few blocks from the restaurants and shops at the waterfront. Parking was ample and free, so we left our car and walked through the charming neighborhood. The host, Donna, was so friendly and went a bit extra to accommodate our vegan food preferences. She took the time to describe the Tourist attractions and the best way to see them. Charming, historic decor

Nice, centrally located hotel in downtown Newport

Excellent, quiet location, and breakfast was great. Very nice hosting couple. Wonderful details, such as a gorgeous marble tiled floor and a stained glass cupboard in the bathroom. Nice shower.
