This hotel is located in the middle if the most active street in downtown Newport. The suite was well appointed and the staff was helpful and very friendly. I would stay there again.

Francis Malbone House Inn
Truly, a beautiful B&B, multiple rooms for relaxing, a fabulous breakfast in a lovely dining room. Fireplaces to take the chill off and overall just a unique experience can’t recommended highly enough.

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina
Great location in the heart of Newport! Harbor view was idyllic and the indoor pool was a great benefit, but the shared public/hotel parking lot left something to be desired as we were constantly nervous about getting a spot (and some folks made their own).
