Our stay was quiet; we were upgraded to a larger room which was lovely. The views were spectacular and the hotel itself was unique and historical.

Sad excuse for a hotel
Would not recommend, hotel , for a restaurant that closes very early you can’t get room service or a snack . Rooms very poorly decorated. No where to hang clothes etc . It’s at best a bed and breakfast. A shame because the place as huge potential

Beautiful location outside of town. Easy self parking, with gorgeous views of the harbor. There were weddings there both nights we stayed, so was a little noisy. They offered to switch our room for us, which was nice. Breakfast is continental, but we enjoyed eating it with the beautiful view!

The property was completely beautiful. The location is stunning. They were completely quiet on Wednesday night with no one Staying there, yet they put us in the attic room with poor air conditioning. Not sure why this has to be if they had no one staying there?

spending the night in a Newport mansion
The hotel was formerly a summer "cottage" in Newport, a perfect place to stay after touring some of the other "cottages" like the Breakers & The Elms. It's primarily an ocean-front wedding venue, although we had the place almost entirely to ourselves on a Mon-Tu stay. Wonderful old mansion, very friendly staff.
