Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant surprises and a few letdowns. The rooms were comfortable and super clean, although a bit smaller than expected. The service was top-notch with a very responsive and insightful staff, but limited after 9 pm. The location was convenient, within walking distance to the beach and a short drive to downtown. The dining experience was nice and simple, offering a serve-yourself setup with a good selection of cold buffet dishes. Overall, the hotel provided great value for money with clean accommodations and friendly service, but with some minor room size issues to consider.
What a delightful experience! The hotel boasts a perfect location near various restaurants and attractions, providing a fantastic getaway. The rooms are impeccably clean and cozy, equipped with king-size beds, jacuzzis, and balconies. The service, although very friendly, has limited office hours, but the staff is always pleasant and helpful. The dining offers a satisfying selection of items, and the hotel facilities are top-notch.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, modern, and well-equipped with breakfast and snack items. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The location was fantastic, close to great restaurants and the beach, offering a perfect vacation spot. Although the dining options were somewhat limited, the overall experience was amazing.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, despite feeling a bit cheesy and flimsy in build, were surprisingly clean and very comfortable to live in. The service was top-notch, with staff addressing me by name the second day, and being both very friendly and professional throughout. The location was a bit busy at times but offered excellent proximity to the beach and dining options nearby. The dining experience was lovely with a variety of foods available. However, heavy traffic made crossing the street a bit challenging.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel in Newport. The rooms had a great view of the beach and town, which was fantastic. However, they had a pretty 1970's feel with older tube TV's and lacked towel bars in the bathroom. Carrying golf clubs up the stairs due to no elevator was a downside.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel for the August 17th weekend in Newport. The rooms were spotless, clean, and cozy, even prepared early for our early arrival. The service, especially from Tony, was very accommodating to our late arrival and nice and welcoming, with a delightful selection of snacks and great coffee. The location was perfect for getting to the start of the cliff walk and the beach, just a 2-minute stroll away. Despite some minor dining limitations, the breakfast was more than adequate, offering a variety of options including fresh fruit. Overall, a great value for money in a prime location.
