Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a convenient location with nearby stores for groceries, but it lacked breakfast options and had a somewhat isolated feel. The service was friendly and helpful, though nobody was in the office at checkout time. The dining experience was okay, and the rooms, while clean, looked very old. It's a mix of positives and negatives overall.
The hotel had a strong smell of bleach in the rooms but offered amenities like a fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff who even lowered my room payment by $10. The location was great, although the shower drain was not clean. The dining experience was included but required going to the desk for a blow-dryer. The facilities were impressive overall.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms seemed a bit dark and could use some upgrades, but they were big, clean, and quiet. The musty smell was a downside, especially whenever someone entered or exited the office. The service was top-notch, with the front desk allowing me to check the room before payment and being super friendly and accommodating. The location was good, close to shopping and downtown Newport, but the cleanliness of the shower drain was a letdown. The dining experience was minimal, requiring me to get a blow-dryer from the front desk. Despite the minor flaws, the hotel provided good value for a quick trip for college visits.
