The hotel was in great condition. The restaurant was one of the best in the city, but nothing overshadowed the attentive and friendly staff.

Francis Malbone House Inn
A fabulous historic hotel with wonderful rooms in a convenient location. It was great having parking right there behind the hotel. The afternoon tea and breakfast in the morning are too wonderful to miss. This is my favorite place to stay in Newport!
