    Good Nothing

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    I did not like anything about this stay except for the location to where the Ferry left for Block Island. This place is so overpriced. It's tiny and cramped and dated. The bathroom was especially pathetic. We paid over $600 for one night to sleep in a dusty room with a terrible bathroom. The balloon shades were full of dust and the window air conditioner smelled like mildew. They had a half full bottle of dial soap in the bathroom and the sink was like one you'd see in a high school dissection lab. The tiny toilet was not screwed properly to the floor so you tipped when you sat down. The tub at one point had been replaced, but the tile not. There was exposed concrete and the shower curtain had stains on it. They should be embarrassed about the lack of upkeep and the rates they're trying to pull off.

    They moved me to a 3rd floor room in a different property, which they said would be nicer but wasn't. Very small. Cable TV didn't have any reception. Could not connect to the WiFi. Checking in was such a process. I had to pre- order my breakfast and give a time when I would be down. Who knows what they want for breakfast at 4:30 the day before. Never stayed in a b&b that didn't have breakfast laid out for you to just come down.

    The location near Thames St and America’s Cup Ave was great. The breakfast was good but not exceptional. The room was ready when we arrived, but they had forgotten to finish cleaning and supplying the bathroom with towels, etc.

    Breakfast was delicious even though the entire situation was confusing. Parking was not easy but understandable in Newport. We did not have the room we expected but it was decent moving from inn to inn and not told this in advance

    Terrible place, would not go back. Location works but the staff is either incompetent or completely rude. The woman at the front desk was super unhelpful when we told her the pack and play they told us they had was filled with mold. Front desk totally rude and unhelpful. No offer to get new crib after theirs was moldy. When I complained to Rick the owner he didn't offer any sort of help other than listening for 10 min. He doesn't care about customers just buying a new Porsche.

    Beautiful place Staff was very rude I had the worst experience with the staff

    That it is historic and in a historic neighborhood the shower: the plug was broken, and the showerhead was in an awkward position; the sinks were very slow draining

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    This location was walkable to everything, including the free trolley. Breakfast was great! I really enjoyed the French Toast. You won't be disappointed.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Location Wasn't a friendly check in at all. We booked 3 rooms and were told because of that and only having one car we would be upgraded I can't imagine our stay if the rooms we had were an upgrade. Breakfast wasn't served until 930 am which was too late for all of us.
