Top Downtown Newport Hotel Reviews

Melville House

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot!!"

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina

8/10 Good

"Reserved the hotel to attend the Newport Boat Show, and the location truly was perfect, within easy walking distance to the events, restaurants, and everything happening in town. Unfortunately, the room itself felt dated and definitely needs an upgrade for the price they charge. Also, be careful with parking. We arrived early knowing our room wouldn’t be ready, but were hit with an extra $50 fee on top of the $35 parking charge simply because we pulled in at 11 AM instead of 2 PM. There were plenty of open spots, so it wasn’t a capacity issue. When I questioned it, the front desk suggested finding street parking and returning at 2 PM, not exactly helpful when thousands of people are flooding Newport. Just be aware of the timing, or you’ll be surprised by extra fees."

Wellington Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The Wellington was a last-minute-ish choice for our trip to Newport. It is in an excellent location - walkable to the busy parts of the waterfront, but not so close that there is noise and excessive traffic. The free transit bus and mansions are a short walk away. The room was spacious and homey, the bed was very comfortable, the pool and grounds are in excellent shape. The room rate is not cheap, but we felt it was well worth it, and will gladly stay again."
