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.

We booked this stay as the night before running the Newport Half Marathon. We were very excited and thought that staying in a historic, quaint spot would be a fun addition to the weekend. However, a few days before we received notification to call the office to confirm our stay and felt coerced into "upgrading" our room after being told it would be "too small" for us. The room we were brought to when we checked in had two beds and two separate rooms, which we did not need at all. The mattresses were incredibly thin and uncomfortable, the curtains were sheer and did nothing to block out the light. Additionally, although not within their control, we were awoken multiple times in the evening by tours outside of the venue and by other guests. This could potentially be avoided by implementing a quiet time to respect other guests. Lastly, we were told breakfast would be until 11am so we could get some hot breakfast following our run. We arrived at 10:35am and were told the guy who makes breakfast had already left for the day. Overall, poor experience.

Super Friendly and accomodating staff. They took time to guide us in finding great dinning and other hidden gems. The historic charm of the properties and our room were something really unique and charming. We will definitely stay again when we return to Newport.
