Oceancliff Resort I & II
Fix the window cranks, paper holder came off and water pressure seemed kinda low .. however the water was nice and warm .. absolutely loved the fireplace and how spacious the rooms were . Though I would come back again on new years it’s was quiet 😊

Crow's Nest Newport
Crows Nest was right in Bohens wharf which made it very walkable and easy to get around. Upon arrival, we had some miscommunication with keys/ room assignments. However, that was fix very fast and the staff was very pleasant and helpful! Over all this is a very nice place to stay for a short trip ...
