Top Bristol Hotel Reviews

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area

10/10 Excellent

"A nice room, clean and well maintained. Would recommend."

The Carriage House Inn Newport

10/10 Excellent

"My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was perfect for our stay! Our room was on the top floor and it was clean, spacious and comfortable! Grab and go breakfast was included in the fee (we didn’t utilize) but plenty of people did! About a 10 minute drive to Thames street, perfect location. The gentleman at the front desk was lovely and very helpful in his recommendations. We would definitely come back!"

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"It has an excellent location, and the room was clean and tidy, though it needs updating; the hairdryer in the room worked but was very dirty. Another issue: they tell you parking costs $35 a day, but when you check out, the charge on your card is higher! When I made the reservation, I paid taxes and everything; I was only told that at the hotel I would need to pay $78 in destination fees and $35 per day for parking (for three days). The total should have been $173, but they charged my card $236.81."
