Hi Nicole,Thank you for the compliments on our hotel's design and we look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you time and again for years to come.See you soon!
The location of this inn is perfect for walking to Broadway, Thames and the wharfs. It was basically a 10 minute walk any where we went. It is nicely updated and the small plate breakfasts were delicious. Our room was small, but I was expecting that. It is an old house, so you can occasionally hear noises from other rooms, but we travel with a sound machine so it was no problem for us. The addition of being able to park at the Cliffside Inn to do the cliff walk is a nice perk, especially during busier times. Frank greeted us with a smile, gave us a map and showed us where main locations were and even carried one of our bags up to our room. We would definitely stay here again.

Hey there Kelsey,It's always a delight to earn high marks from our guests, along with plans to make a return visit. Our thanks for both!We're glad you found a warm welcome from our super host Frank and his depth of local knowledge to help navigate the best of Newport.We see that the accommodations and morning breakfast ritual added up to a great stay. Please join us again.So long for now.
Gilded Inn is a cute little place. Frank, owner, served the hot breakfast...egg dish, granola, pastries, fruit...very nice! We stayed two nights. Typical B&B bathroom (small), very nice towels, clean. Walkable location to town and restaurants.

Hey Laurie,Your time at Gilded sounds like a perfect getaway for an early autumn visit to Newport.We see that your accommodations were just right and starting the day with our welcoming host and a delicious breakfast was icing on the cake.Please join us again soon.
Really loved the Gilded facility. Beautiful decor. Comfy bed. Well appointed. Tasty breakfast. Quiet neighborhood. Ample free parking. Only things I would change about our room is to add a brighter bulb over the bathroom sink and a better bathroom fan. A little short-staffed, but that seems to be the norm in the hospitality & service industries these days. Would stay again & recommend to others. Nice experience.

The property is quaint from the outside. Onsite parking was too small but there was generally street parking available. We had a queen room with a bathroom. The room was very tight and run down. We were also able to hear people in the rooms around us, like everything they were ‘doing’ if you catch my drift. 3 floors and stairs only. In terms of pricing was about $550/night which was on the lower side of other local options.

Overall vibe and service were nice, great location. Relative to the price, the king room was pretty tight for two relatively small adults. Most concerning were the swollen doors, both to access the room and coming into the hotel from the outside. We really had to yank and leverage to get in and out and latch our door shut. Seems it’d be easy to inadvertently not fully shut the exterior door coming in late. To be totally fair, if the doors were improved, we would absolutely be willing to return.

Very disappointed in Guilded considering prior reviews and the price. Our bed was comfortable, the small breakfast plates were good and the staff was helpful. But the room was very uncomfortable. The only place to sit was on the bed or the floor and the bathroom was worse. The shower was OK, the sink was tiny and we had to sit at a 45 degree angle to use the toilet since there was inadequate room between the toilet and the sink. An obese guest would be unable to use the toilet. This was completely unexpected for an Inn which is supposed to be upscale.

Hello Philip,Our thanks for making the trip to Newport and joining us at Gilded.With our historic hotel, there are some tradeoffs in space. Perhaps a King Deluxe room or our Lark Suite would be a better option next time. We are glad you slept well and enjoyed a relaxed breakfast before starting your day's explorations.Thanks for visiting.
Small, well maintained property. Excellent location within walking distance to many locations within Newport.

Loved the unique colorful decor of this property. Daily breakfast was tastefully displayed and the offerings were varied and good.
However, it was very cold and there was no heat in my room and the shivering temperatures would not warm up on the October days that I was there. The staff could not fix the problem.

The house itself is beautiful and the breakfast amazing. Unfortunately, we were put in a very small attic room with low ceilings that my husband bumped his head on getting in and out of bed.

Public areas of the resort were nice, bed was comfortable, and location was good. The breakfast in the morning was quite good. The shower in the room was so small my 11-year old had trouble using it. There were some things in the room that needed maintenance/fixing and the AC never fully cooled the space to a comfortable temperature. Overall, there are nicer places to stay in Newport at the same price-point.
Property was very walkable to downtown Newport. No need to drive or find a parking space in town. Nice breakfast, cozy room with good amenities.
It took awhile for the hot water to warm in the shower. There are also several small steps in different spots due to the age of the property. These need to be marked better with maybe some bright tape or something. My husband in legally blind and did take a bad fall on one set of just two stairs that connected the hallways that he wasn't expecting. He wasn't hurt, but he could have easily sprained an ankle or a wrist. Normally, I walk in front to avoid these incidents, but he just happened to walk in front of me and didn't see it in time.
