The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were some unapologetic moments too. The location was convenient but slightly out of the way. The dining experience had its ups and downs, and the facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering everything we needed at a reasonable price. However, the constant noise from the room above us was disruptive throughout the night. The service was quick and professional in handling issues, but some of the staff lacked friendliness. The location was convenient, but not ideal for walking into town. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with one standout server but overall service left something to be desired. The facilities were decent, but some maintenance was needed.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the location was great, just a block away from a shopping mall and restaurants, the rooms had a strong musty smell that made us sneeze and the noise level was a major sleep disruptor. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch with the staff being very apologetic and incredibly helpful, even providing me with a fantastic food recommendation. The dining experience, however, was chaotic with staff pulled from the front desk to manage the large crowd at breakfast. Overall, the value for money was decent considering the convenient location.

The hotel is conveniently located close to downtown Newport and offers a peaceful environment away from the bustling areas, making parking easy. The rooms, though showing some wear, had a coffeemaker, but the powdered milk and coffee were not great, and no tea was available. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made efforts to correct any issues. The hotel's location is terrific for those familiar with Newport, RI, being just a short drive from the main shops, restaurants, and bars.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were nice and clean, but there were hairs on the bathroom floor and towels. Dragging my large suitcase up and down the stairs to the suite was a hassle, even though the staff were wonderful. The service was lacking a bit of friendliness, and compared to another hotel, it felt a bit rude. However, the staff was helpful and kept everything clean. The location was very convenient, close to downtown Newport and essential stores, although lacking some amenities like tables and umbrellas. The dining experience had delicious food but was a bit chaotic due to staffing issues. Despite this, the food was well-priced. The facilities were decent, but there was room for improvement.
