Top Downtown Newport Hotel Reviews

Hammetts Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was comfortable and beautiful, and a great location. No coffee maker in the room you have to go down to the lobby."

Melville House

8/10 Good

"We paid very little for an excellent location and parking spot right downtown. Melville House is walkable to just about everything in Newport and while the parking lot is a tight squeeze, it was awesome to park the car in a private lot and not think about it all weekend. We knew our room would have a separate bathroom and were fine with it so no surprise there. The wifi is very weak but we found the cell reception and wifi to be weak all over Newport and eventually considered it a forced break from technology. Melville felt more like a boarding house than a hotel or B&B but again, we got what we paid for and we are not complaining about it. The sheets and towels were clean and we felt safe. If you're looking for luxury, look elsewhere."

The Outlook Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was our last hotel stay after a week of traveling around New England and we were so tired, I was intimidated by the parking and unloading at first. But it was seamless! The instructions they gave were exactly as described, and the room itself was one of the best and most spacious we had used all week. The service at breakfast was wonderful as well! Kudos to the owners and the staff, if we are ever back in Newport we will definitely be back."
