Need a good review? You've found it. 😘
If you're searching for a hotel in Downtown Newport with compassionate hospitality then you should look into staying here. The food we ordered couldn't have been prepared any better by the restaurant associated with the hotel. And be careful not to drink too many alcoholic beverages because they are delicious and worth every drop (I mean dollar...teehee). My partner and I booked a room with the harbor view and the view and set up of the room were certainly another aspect of the hotel that I would suggest experiencing. On top of these impressive things I've already discussed, the hotel is clean, eco-friendly, has drink vending machines, coffee available in your room, a pool that didn't appear to get crowded, and checking in/out was fast. One last thing I'd like to share about this hotel/resort in one of the most historically respected parts of the nation is that there is no need to risk your life and drive to a local bar. And I say that because there's a delicious restaurant, a bar with a bartender that clearly knows what he/she is doing, AND, you get two FREE drink tickets as a gift for staying their. I can't wait to go back and I HOPE you have an opportunity to stay at this specific hotel in Newport, RI, a place I've always loved visiting every year as a child growing up.

Very impressed with the Newport Harbor Hotel. I shopped around prior to booking as price was important as well as a harbor view. This hotel was one of the least expensive hotels on the water and is right in the heart of downtown Newport with great shopping all around. The staff were very friendly and very good to guests. Four adults stayed in a room with two double beds and we were cramped. There was only a desk chair for additional seating, which just wasn’t enough. I share this just as a heads up, probably fine for a family of four, but four adults for girl’s weekend the room was too small. Would absolutely be my first choice when visiting Newport! Plus parking was plentiful and not an additional fee.

Nice hotel right on Newport Harbor and Bowens Wharf, many restaurants and stores in walking distance. Unfortunately our next door neighbors were partying loudly til 2am. However the staff apologized and was extremely nice about moving us to a different room the next morning. We loved the large indoor salt water pool, so nice to not smell chlorine!

You can’t ask for a better location than this hotel. It’s located right in the heart of the restaurants and shops at the warf, and everything is in walking distance. They have a great secure parking lot so you don’t have to find street parking. They have a heated indoor pool that my kids loved. The staff is especially nice and friendly at this hotel. We will definitely book here again when we come to Newport again.

I read so many negative reviews about the hotel that I was nervous about it. Instead, we received a very warm welcome at the reception which included 2 free drinks tickets at the hotel bar. Our room was cute and clean. The bathroom was small but clean. I liked that the hotel had products from the local soap company, what a great way to support and promote a local business. The location is central. We stayed only 1 night but really enjoyed it, will definitely consider for the future stays.

Not so pleased
Was excited for our stay given the reviews I’ve read about the hotel. Was disappointed however when we checked into our room and there wasn’t any toilet paper. I asked housekeeping, in the hallway, for a roll-he told me he didn’t have any and handed me a box of tissues. I explained that I wanted toilet paper not tissues, he grabbed a roll out of another room. The hotel itself seemed in between dingy and renovations, the bathroom adjacent to the bar area always had a foul smell and was unclean. The bar was nice, however was closed at 6pm on Saturday night! Although the location of the hotel is prefect, a short walk to all shops and restaurants, we will not be returning on future trips to the area.

I made a reservation at this hotel from 9/1/23 - 9/4/23. I called the hotel around 4:30pm on 9/1/23 and told them that I wasn't going to make to the hotel on the 1st, and if they would allow me to check in on the 2nd instead. The person told me over the phone that it would be okay, but they would still charge for the night that I didn't stay. I got to the hotel on the 2nd, and the same person who spoke to me over the phone told me they gave my room away because it was a no show. She understood I called, and that I spoke to her over the phone, however, they did not have any rooms available at the hotel for me to stay. Her response, as well as the response of her manager was "I am sorry, but we can't do anything to help you with this". Horrible, terrible customer service. If I didn't call the day before, I would understand, but I called and I was told that they would hold the room. It was very frustrating to go through this situation. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

This hotel is in the heart of Newport, right in walking distance of so many shops, restaurants, cafes etc. We booked 5 days at this hotel and we were able to walk to every single restaurant and shop that we wanted to go to. Easy parking at the hotel too. We were also able to upgrade our room to one of the rooms with a walkout sliding door that gave us access to 2 chairs and a table, along with the lawn courtyard, lawn games, and fire pit. The main downside with this hotel is, where they make up for in convenience, they lack in modern or luxury rooms. The rooms felt very outdated. The bathroom was pretty small and had almost no counter space. The room had one comfy chair with an autumn so one of us needed to sit on the bed. We wish it had a couch instead. I wouldn't have an issue with going back to this hotel but I would probably look to see if there were any other options in the same area first.

Short staffed…no maid service 4 out of 6 days….then when they did they did not clean bathroom, replace coffee cream cups..the TV was a 32”. Bathroom was the size of a coat closet no where to put our supplies… Pictures in the bathroom was smeared with something. Gave us 2 drink tickets but was limited to house punch cola or sangria. Trash and a dirty mattress in the stairwell. No restaurant…front desk girl try to school me on housekeeping saying we had our do not disturb sign on the door which we did but removed it when we left at 10 am. Housekeeping did not come back later. We r on vacay and not going to get up at 7 and wait for our room to be cleaned. Paid 3400.00 for a crappy hotel

Our room was infested with ants. They were nice about letting us change rooms but our second room was too loud, as we could hear other guests through the thin walls. And they filled our ant-infested room that afternoon with somebody else. The interior of the hotel is drab with lax security. On the other hand the saltwater pool is wonderful and the fire pit and backyard are fun and maintained well. However the amenities fee for the pool, basic Wi-Fi and average in-room coffee is a poor value. But it also covers parking so it makes more sense if you arrive by car. If you want to pay top dollar for a very good location and a nice pool this is it, but your sleep and in-room comfort will be compromised. The Saltwater restaurant and bar are decent but bring your complimentary drink vouchers.

Two night stay. No housekreeping services available as they said they were short staffed. Had to go to front desk for towels, water, extra coffees. Out of toilet paper so I called down and they did bring it up. Restaurant was closed on Wednesday (first night). Still charged resort fee. Thought place was a little run down and didn’t like not having room cleaned and beds made in morning Wouldn’t stay there again if I didn’t have to.
