Got a free upgrade for my anniversary. Old homes so don’t expect crazy amenities, but the managers knowledge of the area, friendliness and hospitality make this place a must-visit. I would highly recommend and will not book with anyone else if I were to visit Newport again ##### Alec Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shea 14 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities This place has real character and Rick the innkeeper was pretty darn entertaining. The location was superb and we had a fabulous time in Newport. ##### Shea Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tamara 7 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great place for the.price. Nothing fancy, simply a boarding house. Very clean for what it is. ##### Tamara Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 11 Oct 2025 Liked: Amenities Great 300 years plus place. Perfect location. Owner a bit scatterbrained- but try’s to make everyone welcome . Good breakfast ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent custom service, quaint location, and comfortable room. ##### Taylor Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Devin 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities location was great! ##### Devin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Diana 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We actually upgraded to the Inn next door run by the same owner. He has 4 in the same block. Rick was the best host. The Melville house was clean but basic and unfortunately smelled like an old house (not in a good way)-a bit musty. Overall the Inns are well run, breakfast is good and affordable. Curtis was a good chef. All of the staff were great. The location cannot be beat! ##### Diana Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Location is great. Much of the town is within easy walking distance. Staff went out of their way to be helpful and solicit feedback. Finally the parking is a big bonus in the center of town. ##### Richard Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kaitlyn 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Last Minute Trip- Met All Expectations! The Inn staff were friendly and helpful. They greeted us on the street and assisted with parking. They walked us up to our room ensured we had everything we needed. Rick is friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone’s stay is meeting their expectations. The bed was very comfortable. ##### Kaitlyn Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carly 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good option to stay if you’re not in the room and out all day. Everything in town is 5-10 minutes walking distance. Other than that the rooms are fairly small making it an uncomfortable living space for the price. ##### Carly Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 15 Feb 2025 I was met with a warm welcome, the INN was comfortable, excellent location and quiet at night for a relaxing stay. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Clean and comfr ##### Diane Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice property some room much nicer than others.

Also a nice breakfast ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 2 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The manager and his staff were very accommodating, which my wife and I greatly appreciated. ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph 30 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location, location, location! Absolutely phenomenal location to downtown Newport and the wharf area (Approx. 5 min walk). The buildings are Revolutionary War era construction, so don’t expect the modern amenities of a 21st century hotel chain. But, the properties are clean, charming and well maintained despite being nearly 300 years old. Off street (free) parking was also a plus, but beware if you driver a larger vehicle (large SUV or truck), the lots and driveways are very tight and would be near impossible to traverse in a pickup or large SUV. ##### Joseph Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin 17 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, comfortable, good owner. ##### Kevin Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Joan 27 Aug 2025 No elevator so there are stairs to navigate. There was a young man who helped us carry luggage to the room. Room ac’s, tv. Shower was good with plenty of warm water. Friendly efficient staff. My friend and I got the breakfast which was extra. The chef was very efficient and food was good. Location was ideal and we just walked everywhere or caught the free bus which took us to the mansion area and Cliff Walk. ##### Joan Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lori 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities STAFF WERE LOVELY! We are from RI just wanted a night away. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. ##### lori Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Megan 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Amenities Great location. Historic rooms decorated nicely. Small upgrades would make the room more historic (like the drapes). Cautions: no temperature control in room, can hear everyone in the house all the time ##### Megan Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon Richard 9 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities An historic property located in the heart of Newport's central district within easy walking distance to restaurants, bars and shops. The fancy Vanderbilt restaurant is right at the end of the road. Much cheaper than big hotels although it is just bed and breakfast. ##### Simon Richard Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua 28 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Parking was easy and the service was nice and the room decent and clean. ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan 3 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rick was phenomenal in checking me in. I'm a bigger guy at 6'6 and he upgraded me to a bigger room and bathroom that would accommodate my height. I can't promise room upgrades, but if they have availability, it's a potential perk. The room was great, bed comfortable, bathroom updated and spacious, but it retained and older charm that reminded me of my grandmother's home. After visiting other cities in New England, it is hard to beat the walkability of the hotels on this street to the harbor restaurants and shops. Certainly worth a revisit for a longer stay! ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [bbhotels Hotels in Bercy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bercy-Paris-Hotels-BB-Hotels.0-n800098-0--bBBHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel THB San Fermín](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benalmadena-Hotels-Hotel-San-Fermin.h2336653.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa del Sol Torremolinos Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torremolinos-Hotels-Costa-Del-Sol-Torremolinos-Sustainable-Boutique-Hotel.h17376610.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near National Stadium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Stadium-Hotels.0-l6117068-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [O.lysée Hôtel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Olysee-Hotel.h565629.Hotel-Information) > > [Paris France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Paris-France.h4478950.Hotel-Information) > > [Paloma Oceana - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manavgat-Hotels-Paloma-Oceana-All-Inclusive.h2161562.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Isola del Garda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Isola-Del-Garda-Hotels.s50-0-d6348341.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Shendish Manor Hotel & Golf Course](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hemel-Hempstead-Hotels-Shendish-Manor-Hotel-Golf-Course.h1792030.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Parnell Square Dublin City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Parnell-Square.h1724859.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Castlemartin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Castlemartin-Hotels.s50-0-d3000012032.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Colina Verde Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olhao-Hotels-Colina-Verde-Golf-Sports-Resort.h1729187.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Parks Winterton-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winterton-On-Sea-Holiday-Parks.d3000381617-aaHolidayParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from nikola tesla airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/beg/flights-from-nikola-tesla-airport) > > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to College Park (ATL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ord/atl/chicago-to-atlanta) > > [Flights from Mohali (IXC) to Vallabhnagar (UDR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ixc/udr/chandigarh-to-udaipur) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Norwich (NWI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/yyz/nwi/toronto-to-norwich) ### Cars > [Car hire in Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Maldives.d109.Car-Hire-Destinations) ### Activities > [Things to do in Zuljana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Zuljana.d6336416.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### Holiday Rentals > [Holsworthy Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holsworthy-Holiday-Rentals.d6084567.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General ---
