Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and reasonably clean, though a bit pricey for what they offer. The service was excellent from the hotel staff to the dining team. The location is superb, right in the heart of Newport, allowing easy access to various attractions. The dining experience was good, especially at Forty 1 North. The facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel rooms were clean, well taken care of, and felt like home with the beautiful fireplace during the cold months. However, some snacks or candy in the rooms could have enhanced the experience. The service, from the preliminary booking calls to the interactions with the staff, was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The location was great, offering the opportunity for lovely walks even in winter and being ideal for access to shopping, sailing, dining, and scooter rentals.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautiful, modern, spacious, and bright with high-end finishes, and I especially loved the balcony overlooking the harbor. The temperature in the room was perfect throughout the night, staying comfortably warm. The size of the rooms was nice and large, offering a great space to relax.
My stay at the hotel was exceptional. The rooms were beautifully furnished and spacious, allowing me to work comfortably during the day. The service, from the valet to the housekeepers, was exactly what I needed. The location was perfect for my needs, offering a modern luxury feel with stunning water views. However, the dining prices were on the high side, and the lobby bar area felt a bit separated from the rest of the hotel.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The room was lovely, overlooking the water with a small balcony and gas fireplace, making for a cozy and luxurious atmosphere. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, truly making me feel at home. The location was perfect, within walking distance to great shopping, sailing, dining, and scooter rentals. The dining experience was a real treat to look forward to, especially with the stunning harbor view. However, the price seemed a bit high for someone on a budget and the rooms could use a coffee pot in the morning.
My stay at the hotel was incredible! The rooms were beautifully decorated, and we had more than we needed. The bedding was amazingly comfortable, and the shower was fabulous. The special touch of a balcony overlooking the harbor and a fireplace made it even more phenomenal. The drinks and food were top-notch too.
