Top Downtown Newport Hotel Reviews

Hotel Viking

8/10 Good

"The hotel just reopened after a renovation. We had problems with the TV, had to change rooms, the water/ice stations were not operational, the upper deck bar area was not opened and our room was not entirely cleaned two nights. The staff needs to sharpen up. The property and location are perfect, they just need to get things in order."

The Outlook Inn

6/10 Okay

"I visited with my daughter and elderly mother in a wheelchair. No one offered to help us with our bags. There is construction going on all around the hotel starting at 6:00am. The room we were given was right across from another building that had construction going on. We were not even able to open our curtains since the workers in that building could see us. I had much higher expectations for this hotel."

Melville House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so pleasant to talk to and since my wife and I were not able to climb stairs, we were upgraded to a first floor room. The breakfast served every day was so delicious and ready when we were. Everything we needed was taken care of by wonderful people. Also all the attractions are within walking distance since the hotel is located downtown. I highly recommend the Melville House and we will be staying there again."

Newport Bay Club and Hotel

8/10 Good

"I liked that it was basically a one bedroom apt. Clean, super convenient to everything. Didn’t live that window in bedroom didn’t open. Light over sink flickered consistently- so we turned it off. It was a little noisy due to location but that wa ok- I bring ear plugs. Staff was great and view from observation deck of sunset amazing !"

Admiral Farragut Inn

6/10 Okay

"Great location and nice old colonial style home, however upkeep of the Inn needs some work. A lot of pealing paint and loose floor boards. The Inn Keepers office looks like a trash pile through the windows. There was confusion with our check-in, provided wrong room. Thanks to the staff who noticed the error early. Rooms are basic, be sure to get a king bed room. The others, such as top floor, are extremely small. Fireplace was not operable in our room. TVs are haphazardly mounted, wires everywhere, screens on angles. Closet was doubling as a storage space in our room, with 4 endow air conditioning units pulled up. Again, great location to the warf area, walking distance to everything downtown. Off street parking was nice, particularly as you head into the busy summer months."
