Rick is a wonderful host and works hard to keep all his guests smiling. Breakfast was fine but I would have liked a few more options (like yogurt and fruit) in the main dining room.
-
Location was great. The food the they had was good! But different fruit would have been very welcome. Apples and oranges or something other than watermelon would be good. Also maybe some yogurt? Some days there was only watermelon for a fruit. The toilet was very dirty or stained. Something could be done to remove stains.
-
The location was fantastic. Within a block of everything Newport has to offer. Rick, the owner, was so welcoming and funny! The made- to- order breakfast was a nice touch. We’ll be back for sure.

After confirmation emails, phone calls etc., my reservation was cancelled 24 before my flight was leaving.
-
Great location and helpful staff. The room and bathroom were good sized and had all that we need. The bed was not very comfortable and there was some clutter and signage that took away from the charm.

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.

Helpful staff Upolstery stained and rug disgusting with stains 10 years overdue for replacement.

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.
-
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.

Options of continental and/or hot breakfast provided.
-
Everyone is so kind and courteous. The breakfast they served was excellent and included.
-
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
-
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.
-
great breakfast and the location was perfect as close to everything Newport has to offer nothing!

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