The Carriage House Inn Newport

Great coffee! Jimmy Dean Breakfast sandwiches and a microwave oven? Seriously? $500/night?? We should have had a breakfast buffet!

Came down when there was till an hour and half left of the continental breakfast and it was all cleared up. Only a rotten banana was on the table.

Everything was great Very clean room and Bathroomso

Extremely good location and friendly staff.

The room itself was clean and the bed was comfortable. I already provided my reaction to the breakfast. First of all there was a general musty odor throughout. We received no housekeeping services until we stopped at the reception desk on the second day and requested clean towels. Because no one had entered our room, our bed was not made and coffee supplies not replaced. Nothing that we expected in the way of housekeeping was done. Secondly, we were appalled by the fact that breakfast consisted of breakfast sandwiches which had to be heated in the nearby microwave and various packaged cakes and bars. We found it unacceptable. I had brought a hair dryer from home, but when I attempted to use the provided one it emitted a burnt smell. Needless to say, I did not use it. We chose this Inn for its proximity to downtown Newport and for its quaint appearance online. Because we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary this past weekend, it was even more upsetting.

The pictures make this property out to be something much more than it actually is. When it was booked months ago, I was looking forward to it thinking it would be the nicest accommodations of the trip. It certainly was the most expensive. In fact, when we pulled into the lot, I commented "it looks creepy." Based on the cost of the room, I did expect more. The wifi was not working and that was a nuisance, the staff was unable to help out. The included breakfast had nothing we were interested in eating, but the coffee was good enough. The bed was comfortable and the shower worked well. The walls are paper thin and we had to leave the tv on to drown out the noise of other guests. It was close enough to the ferry for the Newport Jazz festival. Overall, I have to say I was disappointed solely based on the price we paid.

Such a quaint property with friendly staff. Breakfast options were pretty weak, so it was fortunate we didn’t choose the location for that purpose.

Property could use a face-lift for a more modern vibe. Worked great to our girls overnight.

Great stay!

Clean room, free parking, friendly and helpful staff. Close to all restaurants and places to visit. In a nice area. Would def go again.

Location was quiet- just outside the hustle and bustle of the downtown area yet only minutes away. Inn was exceptionally clean, staff was welcoming and helpful. Easy check in and check out. Nice continental plus grab and go breakfast featuring goodies from a New York bakery. Spacious, updated suite. Super quiet. Maybe add umbrellas to tables on deck for shade; a few lounge chairs for resting in the sun. Maybe add afternoon snacks and drinks.

Great location

The main issue me had was that rather gut across our bedroom there was a group of frat boys partying super hard at any time of the night until the early morning(4 am/7 am. A person from front desk asked them at 4 am to stop. They were very noisy again at 7 am. I compliant multiple times and they never got kicked out. So if there is a noisy party going on right by you even after warning this people several times they don’t kick them out… which should be part of the policy.

Rooms were cleaned very well daily!

The noise of lobby. The room was in 1st floor next to the lobby.

A very quite place to stay if you are looking to stay away from a populated area location that can bring a lot more activity with added noise. Location is a short driving distance to a lot of activity. They also have a sister location with more offerings.
