Top Exploration Center and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Admiral Sims' House

10/10 Excellent

"First, I don't usually leave reviews, but felt we needed to for this place - it was a hidden gem in Newport. It is walking distance to everything yet quiet and serene (downtown is a bit of a longer walk but very doable). It is very clean and the staff was very helpful, and the large porch is a beautiful place to have breakfast or relax and read. The variety of homemade baked goods and fresh fruit for breakfast were perfect. It is a particularly great spot if you are visiting the Tennis Hall of Fame. We will definitely be making this our place to stay when we visit Newport again."
