The staff was amazing, I'm assuming the owners. I had surgery & my Mom who is in her late 60's we're extremely well taken care of. Moved to the 1st floor. Props to this establishment. Location was great.

America’s cup inn is perfectly located and has that wonderful old Newport charm. Staff is helpful and friendly. Nice continental breakfast and tea time in a cozy breakfast/sitting room. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Steps from shopping and Wharfs. Have stayed twice for getaways and plan to stay again in the future.

Not what we were hoping for
You have to keep in mind that this place is OLD. And hasn't been updated/renovated in probably 40 years. Our room (#502, in the annex building) was exceptionally small, just big enough for the queen sized bed and a couple of chairs. The two of us were squeezing around the furniture and trying (unsuccessfully) to not hit our heads on the low ceiling. Because this is a small inn, and not a big hotel, the front desk is not staffed 24 hours. Good luck trying to contact someone in the middle of the night. Our neighbor locked herself out of her room at midnight and we called no less than 3 different numbers to get help. Nobody was willing to come in. We were just about to call the police (for lack of any other ideas), when someone did show up and let her in. The ordeal took well over an hour to get resolved. I also understood from the listing that parking was available. It is not! You are on your own to find public parking. We got lucky, coming off season, and got the last spot in the lot across the street. I don't know what you would do during the busy months. On the bright side, the location can't be beat. Walking distance to countless restaurants, bars, and shopping.

this was an unexpected jewel. Reviews were the reason we picked this spot. The convenient location, cleanliness and staff add to the charm of this lovely inn. Definitely would stay here again. Very laid back and one of the best Continental Breakfast displays ever encountered. Next time I would request a room on the lower floors. Septuagenarians find it difficult to traverse four floors. It was worth it as the room and the bed were very comfortable. We were notified we could check in early if we wish. Communication with the Inn was great. Would absolutely recommend this properrty if you a staying in the Newport area.

We liked the location (right in the center of town). The problem was that it is right on the cobblestone street which is very noisy plus the sidewalk was right under our window. We literally heard every conversation when someone walked by. Inside the Inn we heard everyone that walked down the corridor The afternoon tea and the morning breakfast was impressive. The room was clean and the personal were fine.

We enjoyed our trip to Newport. Our room was comfortable but very noisy. We requested a room on the first floor due to a handicap. Our window was street level and directly next to the sidewalk about 3 feet up so every conversation, car or truck that went by was in close earshot. Neither my sister or I slept either night. The walls were thin and you could hear people in the room above walking back and forth. However, we would stay again just for convenience if they could provide a quiet room or use a super pair of earplugs.

This is a very clean, old fashioned hotel. The staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. It is in the middle of all the stores so once you park the car everything is within walking distance. Two things on the downside. They do.not have parking so it is an extra $20. Per day to park in a public lot across the street. The hotel does not have an elevator, so anyone with climbing stairs issues would not really be able to stay there, even the first floor is 2 flights of stairs.up.

The breakfast provided the next morning, rivals some of the best B&Bs I’ve visited. So many choices on the buffet style table. Even the presentation of the food was an A+. I will continue staying here when visiting Rhode Island!

The property is an older hotel so it has a very 1920s vibe to the place. If you are looking for the newest, sleekest interiors, this isn’t the hotel for you. That being said, if you want to feel the vibes of Newport and stay at the very heart of all the action, this is your place!

Quant, Charming, but parking was a hassle
This Hotel was significantly updated since our last stay 15 years ago. Service was good, the room was clean though a bit small. The breakfast was good with Eggs, bacon sausage, an assortment of fruit-pastries and bagels. On the whole, I'd stay again. One has to remember, this is an old hotel but efforts have been successful in bringing it up to this century while keeping its colonial charm. On the downside, you have to use public parking and the lot by the hotel was full. I and my wife drove around 45 minutes until we found a spot.

This is not the nicest places in town but what makes up for the "newness" factor is that it has THE absolute best location, hands down! Plus, when you're staying in Newport, how long are you in your hotel room anyway. Totally underrated in my opinion. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

We loved the quaint feel of being in an old Inn yet it offered modern amenities ( bathroom/ beds). Location was great and convenient to downtown Newport. My only change would be request a room on the back side of the Inn. We were on the road front and it was fairly noisy. We’re light sleepers! However, we will be back again. Everything else, including the staff, was great. Tea time in the afternoon and a lovely continental breakfast, finish off a great stay here. I would definitely recommend this Inn.

Rooms are small but very homey and comfortable. It’s an Inn with a B&B vibe. Breakfast is included and there is a fantastic array of choices…way better than the typical chain-hotel offerings. It’s in the heart of downtown Newport, so there are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops within easy walking distance. My only con is that these are very old, wooden structures so outside noise finds it’s way in. The office is not staffed around the clock so be sure to call ahead of you are arriving late. I called and the staff assured me that even if they were closed I would still be able to access my room without compromising security. Will definitely return in the future!

A lovely old hotel with great breakfast and nice tea in the afternoon. It would have been stellar if it had an elevator. Arriving after hours (an interesting check-in process), finding the promised parking lot closed and then faced with pulling our suitcases up 3 flights of narrow stairs left us a bit grumpy. On review of the hotel's description, I finally found mention of "no elevator" under Accessibility. I focus on this because my sister, with whom I frequently travel, isn't as spry as I and would have spent the first night on the couch in the lobby. Other than this, the hotel is very charming and in a great location.

The hotel was very nice. Close to shops and the water. Breakfast was very nice and afternoon tea and snacks were also a treat. Couple issues. You have to pay for street parking which was not explained on the hotel website or your site. Also, our HVAC was not working in Room 402 which was the top floor and by the afternoon, it got very hot in our room. I talked to the front desk three times and it was never fixed.
