Arrived in a rain, greeted by a super check in person, Tyler. Got us into our first floor room in record time. Having come here as a way to unwind, we found the "winter blues" package to be perfect.
Two mornings of fabulous breakfasts.four tickets to Mansions. We picked Marble House for the Christmas decorations and Rosecliffe for the special Pierre Cardin exhibit.
Supper at Benjamin s across street was good for first evening, but dinner a Salt Water the hotels superb restaurant the second was 5 stars.
The Executive Chef Tom is the BEST. Pre-fixe three course dinner of chowder or salad, surf and turf finishing with either a raspberry or hazelnut treat made the evening perfect. He went around to many of the tables, ours included, to speak to customers.
Throw in. Pool, sauna and exercise room and you have it all.
This is one of the most hospitable establishments we have ever stayed atand we travel frequently!
Keep up the good work!
This is. 5-star plus hotel.
Hotel and room was clean and spacious. They provided plenty of towels, shampoos, etc. Only issue is that the hotel rooms need to be renovated. The carpet and interior of the rooms were somewhat outdated.
Great location centered in middle of downtown . Easy walking distance to most scenic spots in town. Friendly staff & delicious food. Great harbor views too.
Location is great, food at Salt Water was very good. The rooms are dated, bathroom was small, no closet, no safe in room. Overall the hotel is an economy hotel charging 5 star prices.
Location is great but unfortunately no way to use the Open table app properly. The hostess & waitresses had no idea what we were talking about and did not have a reservation despite our confirmation. Waitress was subpar Didn't seem to either care about her job or the restaurant itself, had to ask the manager for our check since she ghosted us. Food was delicious so would go back for the chefs but not the service. Probably will give the bar a chance next time as they were much busier than the dining room. Maybe those patrons knew something we didn't.
Hotel is located perfectly as it is walking distance to all restaurants and shops. The restaurant was good breakfast. The Orange Julie tasted freshly squeezed; for the middle of January it was a fresh taste. The hotel needs to be updated. The front desk staff was ehh. Also, we left out laptop charger in the room and we called and they said they will give us a call and never received one. Called a week later just to be like, "oh nothing was found." I told them exactly where it was left and it wasn't found.
Clean and comfortable rooms. Great location for shopping and dining out. Staff very helpful and friendly.
No fridge in our room Fridge in other friends room but did not work Hotel staff was great Would be 4 stars if hotel was in a little better shape
Really depends on the room you get. The newly renovated rooms are horribly small and you'd have to be good at yoga to find a position on the toilet avoiding the bathtub and others items in close proximity. I would have given it only 2 stars but the staff is extremely nice and helpful and saves it.
I stayed at The Newport for two frigid nights in mid-March to get out of ME and meet an old friend from CT, and we had a delightful experience. The room on the fourth floor overlooking the shrink-wrapped boats and white caps outside was spotless and warm with very comfortable beds. The Front Desk staff were exceedingly polite, courteous and friendly, creating a welcome atmosphere every time we passed them. Joe, our waiter at the Saltwater Restaurant, added an outstanding and fun dining experience, and we were impressed with the Executive Chief, Tom, coming out in the hall to greet guests to explain his specialities and again when we were dining to make sure his creations met our expectations. Never before has the requested "One-egg breakfast" for Young Sailors been so large and so delicious for an eighty-year old! I would definitely return for a lovely get-away from the frozen land of ME up north to beautiful Newport--and especially in this off-season without the summer crowds.
Great location with easy access to downtown restaurants and shops. Front desk was exceptional. Room had a nice view of the harbour, nice linens, clean, just an older building.
The hotel was very nice. However, the light in the sauna went out. Only complaint. But this place is great! Amazing location!
Incredible place. There was a bit of construction at the time of my stay but c'mon folks--you can't have sun everyday. In order to make something better, there has to be a little rain now and then. The staff were exceedingly helpful and pleasant and the rooms were spotless. Great stay and hope to stay again!
