Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area
Rooms were nice and clean the bed wasn’t that comfortable. We went there for the jacuzzi but it wasn’t in service. I didn’t have the breakfast so I can’t comment on that. I enjoyed the sauna had to wait 15 minutes for it to heat up tho. The pool was nice. Overall I give it a 8 out of 10
