Top Downtown Newport Hotel Reviews

Bellevue Manor

10/10 Excellent

"The inn is in a great Newport location. No problem with parking. It is an easy walk to the Cliff Walk and the wharf area. Short drive to the mansions. We enjoyed our stay in this historic inn and would stay here again. They also serve an excellent breakfast."
