Top Downtown Newport Hotel Reviews

Hammetts Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Professional staff. Amazing location."

Cleveland House

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location with pedestrian access to the harbor shopping, dining, and boating options for sightseeing, tours, and sail. The multi structure inn offers several private bedroom/bath units in separate houses. The staff were friendly and responsive from checkin to checkout. Breakfasts included with the room rate were hearty, cooked to order. The decor is generally period rustic farmhouse. Our bath was usable with some visible maintenance issues. All in all our stay was fully cost effective, clean, convenient, and safe."

Newport Bay Club and Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel room was very nice especially if you’re staying a few days. We were only there one night and didn’t have the opportunity to use all of the amenities. Tim at the front desk was very nice nd informative. The location is perfect and the parking was convenient. I would been happier if the bathroom counter was larger and if there was better lighting in the bedroom. We will definitely consider staying at the NBCR again."

Mill Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Mill Street Inn was a unique spot with a great location, a few minutes walk to Bellevue or Thames Streets. Our room was more like a suite, had a separate living room and a bedroom. Amenities were great, and there was breakfast that you ordered the night before that they delivered at the time of your choosing. Staff couldn’t be friendlier, especially Lori who seemed to know everything about Newport as a lifelong resident. Would definitely go back!"
