Really nice place for families with small children. We just did not like the food, it was overpriced and not very good. I would just suggest you eat off the resort. Otherwise, this was a wonderful visit.

Monique checked us in and was PHENOMENAL! She was professional,
kind, and when I shared it was our anniversary, she congratulated us so genuinely. The entire staff, including the reservations manager were so kind.
We stayed in the junior suite facing the water and it was incredibly beautiful - looked like a perfect postcard. There was a lighthouse and people doing yoga in the AM. It was a little hazy from the fires in Canada sadly, but the view still was gorgeous. The room was like an apartment! So pretty and well designed. The Lula in the dining room was kind and chatted with us at breakfast, my omelette was perfect. The price for extras (valet, breakfast) were a bit high, but convenient. The shuttle to town is a six minute ride and well worth it… no need to drive. We will def be going again!

The pool and wait staff were amazing. Several of The front desk people were not friendly. When we got to our room, that we paid over $1000 a night for, there were no sheets for the pullout bed, the phone was broken and the air conditioning had a banging noise that kept us up all night. We go every summer for a few days, and there has been a definite decline in the facility.

We stayed in the Balcony Room No 519-view of the harbor was great-sadly the flat roof below us(Think the restaurant) was covered in seagull poop which was disgusting! Also the step out from the room to the balcony is very dangerous...its quite high from the floor-twice I caught my ankle on the screen door base and I had bruises on my ankle...

I have 2 negative comments, one is the air conditioning units are too loud and second you can hear everything from the hallways, you can even hear the alarm going off in the room next door. Other than these 2 things the hotel is definitely worth another trip to Newport!!

The food and cocktails were great & also treated myself to a massage which was incredible! Parking is easy if you don’t care for valet (although they are wonderful as I have used them in the past). Short ride or nice stroll into the wharf areas on the marina.

We have stayed at this property many times, with different owners over the last 15 years. This most recent ownerships has updated the property with notable improvements. The room decor is newer and quite lovely. We appreciated the comfortable chairs on our deck that faced the water and the Newport bridge. The outdoor dining space is much improved, as well.

I guess the hotel can’t determine what your neighbor will be like , but we had the most obnoxiously loud neighbor the whole stay. The walls seem to be paper thin, so it was like her screeching voice and blaring tv was in our room. We paid for a more expensive room in the Captain’s Quarters, so this was really disappointing for us. The staff was helpful once we requested help in this matter. The pool staff was outstanding and all the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the stay.

For the price this hotel was not remotely worth it. Our room backed onto the car park to the extent that we couldn’t open our blinds or people would walk past and see right in. Dark with no view - I would highly recommend that you do NOT book this room. The shower also didn’t function properly, the pool was average at best with poor service and the towels we were given at the pool all had holes in them (we had several different towels across the days). For what this hotel costs, go elsewhere.

For the cost of the hotel, we were pretty disappointed. We expected better service throughout the weekend
I had called 3x to confirm that a crib will be in our room upon our arrival as we were going to be there close to our son’s bedtime. I called to confirm on our way to the hotel as well, and they said it was already there. Going to our room, it was not and it took close to an hour to get one, throwing our sons entire bedtime off.

Later that evening, I asked front desk for a blanket I could sit outside with. They said they would bring it out, over an hour later and a few follow ups no one showed up.

I had also asked someone to turn the fire pit on so I could enjoy sitting outside, and again no one assisted.

Overall, it was a pleasant weekend but we were disappointed in the service.

We stayed two nights mid week in mid May.
Check-in was simple with friendly staff. We chose the valet parking, which was also convenient and cost a few dollars more per day than self parking.
The room was clean with a \"beach\" feel. Comfortable but not spectacular. We splurged and booked a room with a small balcony overlooking the bay, bridge, and lighthouse, which was nice. The wood on the balcony could have used a cleaning or refinishing, and when the AC unit was blowing it was very loud on the balcony.
The grounds were nice but there were some areas on the walkway where supplies and stuff were stacked up against the building. There's a neat lighthouse on the end of the island. The architecture of the resort itself is sort of outdated modern. Not much to look at.
They have a coffee shop with good coffee and expensive muffins and a 15 dollar breakfast sandwich (which was very good).
There's a bar with plentiful outdoor waterfront seating and a nice restaurant. A glass of wine was $16.
The resort is on an island walkable to downtown Newport. They also have a free and convenient shuttle to town.
Our room bill came to over $1500 for two nights. This included all sorts of resort fees, parking fees, etc.
I would have been fine with all the minor shortcomings if this place wasn't so darned expensive. It was nice, but for that kind of money you expect a bit more. If we return to Newport we'll stay at a different hotel for half the price.

We had a really lovely stay for a long weekend in the off-season and overall had a great experience. The hotel has a beautiful setting, and while our water view room did include some rooftop in the sightline, you could still catch the water from certain angles, which was still a nice touch.

The indoor pool is on the smaller side, and each time we checked it was occupied by children, so we didn’t end up using it—but it’s great that it’s available as an amenity. We really enjoyed spending time at the Torpedo Lounge—the atmosphere was great, and the live music one evening was such a highlight. Breakfast at the 1969 restaurant was also very good and a perfect way to start the day.

One of the biggest conveniences was the shuttle service into town—it made everything so easy and stress-free. The spa was another standout and a great addition to the stay, though it would have been nice if there were a few more amenities or spaces to relax before or after treatments.

Since we visited in the off-season, there wasn’t a ton to do directly on the property, but it’s easy to imagine how amazing it would be during the warmer months with full access to the outdoor spaces and amenities. Overall, a very enjoyable stay with great service—we’d definitely consider coming back in season to experience it fully.

Decor of the rooms and hotel is beautiful. We had a very anoying industrial humming that we heard from our rooms, never stopped…all day, all night! We thought it was the airco,but it wasn’t. It was really disturbing. Made our stay a bit uncomfortable. Breakfast was nice, though very slow, on Friday, today it was good.
So all in all, we liked the hotel very much, but would reconsider staying again because of the noise.
