Francis Malbone House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, easy parking, very friendly staff."

Newport Bay Club and Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our experience was extremely positive. Check in was a breeze, there is some complimentary parking avail otherwise paid secure parking is available on site. Rooms were beautiful, clean and located in downtown Newport. It was excellent. We checked in the evening of 6/5/26 and the gentleman who was at front desk, could not have been nicer. He made the experience even better. We will stay here again if the opportunity presents itself."

Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent

"The newly renovated Viking hotel was beyond amazing. The rooms were comfortable and very well appointed with wonderful amenities ....love the robes! The overall smell in the halls, the rooms , the lobby area was incredible. The roof deck was delightful with plenty of fire-pit seating. We thoroughly enjoyed Spa Fjor - the 80 min. massages were beyond wonderful and relaxing. My favorite part was spending time with Stephanie and Diane in the Skoal Room. KUDOS to these two bartenders in taking our experience to another level of fun and enjoyment. I will highly recommend the Viking to friends & family and I can't wait to return."

Melville House

8/10 Good

"The Melville is a perfect location! the Melville is a historic property, so don't expect modern, but for what we wanted it was perfect - the location AND onsite parking! It was also next door to the Vanderbilt Hotel and we enjoyed their cocktails on the rooftop with gorgeous views of the harbor and watched the sunset. Yes, it's old but charming. There is so much to do in Newport that really, all we did at the Melville House was sleep. The bed was comfortable, shower were too small but I managed; all in all it is a good value. Oh, you got to go to Co-Dough for doughnuts and cinnamon rolls - delicious!!!"

The Outlook Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were warmly greeted by Cindy and her friendly staff. We were given detailed information to assist with our stay. We stayed in suite 11 with 2 BR, each had their own private bathroom. This was a great deal for 2 rooms. There was a nice sized kitchenette and a sitting area with a TV. The bedrooms were nice and comfortable. There was a table and chairs on the deck outside our door looking onto a private courtyard with a brick patio allowing for more seating. Our entrance was in the back, separate from the other suites. This was not a problem at all. Parking was off premises, but also was not a problem. The location was excellent, close to the water and near our activities. The icing on the cake was the nice dining room on the third floor with a kitchen the staff used to make a delicious gourmet breakfast every morning. We could eat in the AC or out on the third floor deck with a view of the water. Our stay was very pleasant. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend the Outlook Inn."
