I stayed in room 10R on the second floor overlooking the parking lot which I did not mind. There was a welcome note and cookies upon my arrival and there was ice delivered in the evening which I loved. I was staying one night for a conference and we were setup in the lower conference event area of the building. Apparently the AC broke and they brought in a couple fans but it was 83 degrees for most of the 9am-3pm conference which was very uncomfortable. None of the staff said anything nor seemed to attempt to move us or make other arrangements. The main level women's bathroom had 1 stall out of service leaving only 1 stall available for a large group. There was no AC in the bathroom as well. It was a bit disappointing overall. Location and parking were 10/10.

The fact that the hotel is on the water was the reason we picked this hotel. We had our own balcony to watch the sunset from. So that was nice. The room was clean, but had a few broken things that were a little inconvenient so we told the staff about them when we left. The bed was not comfortable though. I didn’t like that the mini fridge was the smallest fridge you can possibly buy and it was 85% full of minibar items. The counter of the wet bar was also full of minibar items. Not much counter space for the things we brought. We asked them to remove them from the room and they did with no problem. My biggest complaint was the cost of parking there. For the price of the hotel parking should be included.

An aging property whose interiors don't have enough charm to have aged well. More annoyingly, the hot water worked only well enough to intermittently warm what was otherwise a cold shower. Admittedly, I overpaid bc it was a busy weekend...but all things said, it was *well* below expectations.

In our room the carpet was very dirty the begging of the room was wood floor in which was nice but then lead to the carpet where the bed was . They need to continue the wood floor. All hotels need wood floors for cleanliness and for good looks. The chairs in the room need updating along as the chairs by the fire places in the lounge areas the sofa need replacing as well it does not give a good look that things need so much improvement there they should take better care of there appearances if they did I would have given a five star but I can't sorry folks

This hotel needs a serious refresh. The rooms were old fashioned and drab for the price. It is a very convenient location but not sure it is worth the money peak season for what you get. The hostess at restaurant in the almost empty restaurant also told me they weren't sure they could accommodate us even though there was only two other tables of four sat in the whole restaurant.

Beautiful but over priced

Beautiful hotel in lovely location. I'm very back and forth about the review I want to leave.
Traveling on the off season and having free parking in the entire city EXCEPT at the hotel where I am staying seems wrong. Being charged $30 a night when the rest of the city is free seemed like an over the top money grabber from guests.
Not sure what the extra \"resort\" fee of $105 was for either. There were no resort amenities available at this time of year.

Most of the employees were wonderful and accommodating.

Coffee station in the lobby was nice but the carafe was about the size of the pot I usually by myself

Overrated hotel!

We were supposed to have a room with a separate sitting area but we did not have that; it was a basic room with two queen beds. They charged a fee for parking $30 per night, plus a resort fee of $35 per night which was not disclosed. They stated the resort fee was for booking through Hotels.com and not directly. It was no resort. There was no pool or anything special about the place. The best part was staying in downtown Newport which was mostly walkable.

We picked Forty1 North from among those available on this site on our selected night, selecting it due to its location near the water.

We will stay at Forty 1 North each and every time we are in Newport. It was an outstanding experience.

We arrived three hours before check-in, and we were accommodated instantly. A handwritten note was left in our room welcoming us by name. Shortly after our check-in, a knock at our door delivered complimentary pastries. Later that evening, another knock delivered bottled water and a bucket with ice.

The room was perfect. Well-appointed, immaculate, and probably the most comfortable hotel bed we've ever slept in.

We were allowed a one-hour late check out, in which we enjoyed breakfast in our room and the peace of mind to not be hurried.

The hotel's restaurant was also absolutely wonderful.

All-in-all, this was an excellent experience. We will be returning there... 100%.

Not a lux hotel at all. Stay at the Marriott and save your money. Had a suite and rooms are very outdated with yellowed phones and chairs were ripped. The hotel manager, Maureen is very unprofessional and disrespectful to guests. I paid $980 for a one night stay recently and was told because I have a suite I would be credited $250 for food and drink (excluding alcohol) during my stay. So nice, right? Upon checkout Maureen the hotel manager said it’s not true. She doesn’t know who I spoke to and I was not credited $250 at check out. I was really unhappy and trying to understand why she couldn’t look at the employee schedule from the day before - she never said sorry or met me in the middle or anything. It was just simply a NO. As someone who works in customer service biz, really poor performance. Best thing about the hotel is the walkability.

The hotel is in an excellent location within walking distance of all main shops and restaurants and the staff were extremely Pleasant and friendly and very helpful. The fireplace in the room is very nice and the rooms are generally well decorated as is the hotel - the pictures on the website reflect exactly what you get. The quality of food at the restaurant was also very good. However:
1. The beds and pillows are way too soft. If you need a firm bed, then you have a challenge.
2. The partial view in premium rooms is not much of a view. Only the waterfront suits have a good view of the water.
3. There is no tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms though in the morning you can get a free coffee (too week though) from the reception.
4. The outside music played by the hotel from 6 am can be heard in some of the rooms on the second floor. A little too early in the morning if you are trying to sleep in.
5. There is no gym and no workout facilities. Most of the amenities on the lower floor by the water were closed also for the holidays and given the weather.
Still, we had a nice stay in Newport and enjoyed the holidays and the proximity of the hotel to all of Newports amenities. It is a very lovely place.

Unfortunately we didn't get to experience Forty 1 North due to the rise in corona virus right before our trip. I was disappointed that we were not refunded at least part of our deposit, which happened to be the total cost of our stay.

Disappointing stay in Room 7...we were there 10/17-19 (three nights) ...we did not have usable WiFi in our room (unless you wanted to stand by the hallway door)...the room TV got about half of the available channels for some reason...the ones available were mostly junk…though we complained each day (and initial night) we were there, they could not, or would not fix the problems...I don't think they really cared...they never offered: to get us a new TV from another room (the handyman said he had just installed our TV and they did not appear to be all that crowded); offered us another room; or, offered us any form of compensation for these problems... all this made the $400 per day room fee, $30 a day \"resort fee,\" and $20 per day parking, hard to swallow…we were in from Houston and missed two of the Astros-Boston ballgames...their lack of concern about the room's problems was evident when they asked that we vacate on time because they had it rented for that day......I think they knew we were from out of town and thought they could stall us and we'd leave and forget about it...they pretend to be a luxury resort, but the level of service is lacking for the price...other problems with our room were: toilet seat that would not stand up and kept falling down; and an opaque glass between the bath and the bedroom...if one needed to use the bath at night, turning on the light flooded the bedroom with light disturbing sleep...bad design...

Not worth the money

My wife and I stayed for four nights from 9/6-9/10 to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The first night I asked for an ironing board and it came broken, the 2nd day our HVAC stopped working, 3rd day I asked for ice and water since neither is supplied. I called 3 times and 3 hours later I got my tap hot water and ice. The 4th night I had to call again 2 times and an hour and a half later I had to go to the front desk and have them bring it to me. In the room you have a card to leave on the bed if you want sheets changed, we left the card on the pillow because the original sheets had blood stains on it and house keeping never changed the sheets which was nasty. The rooms are not cleaned well and for the daily rate we paid the stay was disappointing. I have stayed at many places for less with better customer service.

Did not like that there was no drink or food service when sitting at the outdoor couches. Such service should be available at all times when bar is open.

Great getaway spot

Lovely one night stay in Newport. Very pretty room, the hotel is doing a nice job managing the pieces during the pandemic. I would note, I thought the hotel was no smoking (but might be wrong) and another guest was smoking on their balcony. We had our slider open and our room quickly smelled like smoke. We closed the door, but would rather that’s not allowed at all. It is like having someone smoking in your room. Not easy for the hotel to babysit those people.

They had the BEST mini bar and in room snacks ever.

The service from the front desk to the valet all were top notch. The room with the water view was a great size with an ice bucket filled and water provided. We had delicious cocktails outside overlooking the docks at sunset with sail boats cruising the harbor. The hotel provides complimentary car service which we used to go to the cliff walk. We had dinner up the street at Black Pearl which was great and lunch at the hotel the next day before departing. Though we were only here for one day- we really wanted to stay another and are already talking about booking our next stay at this hotel...Kayla at the front desk one our group vote for customer service as did jonathan \"huck' our driver to the cliffs.

Have breakfast somewhere else

I've stayed at Forty 1 North three times before and was very pleased. This time we had breakfast with the worst service imaginable. The waiter brought out the silverware (knife and fork) and forgot the spoon. I had to ask twice for more coffee and another ask for milk. We asked for salt and pepper 3 times before it was brought to the table.The orange juice was forgotten even though it was added to the check. After I gave my credit card to pay our bill, the manager brought back someone else's credit card and check for me to sign.
