Old historical Inn with tiny rooms, no elevator, window a/c unit. Staff directed us to park on the street because the small parking lot was almost full and spaces were small and we had a big vehicle.
I chose this Inn because every other place in Newport was sold out (July 4th weekend). Good: The Inn was within walking distance to Bannister & Bowen Wharfs. Not so good: The tiny room was quite pricey.

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.

Stay was pleasant, older in conditions, in need of repairs and refurbishment. A little shabby, but bed accommodations were very good. Comfortable & crisp clean linens. However not enough Parking spots per rooms; fell short in not including for Check-In possibly not having anywhere to park our vehicle. At times cars may end up on public & very narrow street. It was uneasy not knowing uf using car for day trip would conclude in not being able to park locally to property where I’m staying. Otherwise the breakfast service we found A+ the team there works very well together get the job done always so pleasant & professional. They are an asset to the business. Thank you guys & gal.

This is a fun concept. A quaint B&B in an ideal Newport location. The problem is it’s REALLY old and run down. The toilet was broken and took a ton of force to flush. (They warned us about this as we were checking in.) The window could not be opened because it was covered in plastic. The staff was not unfriendly, but not super helpful either. I think we were supposed to get breakfast each day, but nobody mentioned it after check in. Parking is included, but a nightmare due to limited space.

Fine, not ideal. Several of the staff seemed new (makes sense, as it’s early summer season) and not totally sure what they were doing. I believe some of the other Inns Of Newport properties were nicer than Admiral Farragut, where we stayed, so I would book one of those instead if planning this trip again. Visitors should be aware that bc the properties are converted from homes, no two rooms are alike, nearly all are not ADA accessible and have many steep stairs, not to expect central A/C or coffee maker, fridge, ironing board, etc. in the room. The front desk is in another building and has limited hours. All of this is stated but worth mentioning bc some of the other guests clearly didn’t read that when booking and seemed surprised.

Then we went to go to their complimentary breakfast in the morning which you had to make a reservation, ours was at 8:30,we went at 8:00, told we could'nt eat until our time,the place only had one couple in there.

This a great location in Newport. It is such a walkable city and this location is VERY walkable for restaurants, sight-seeing and just exploring! A nice breakfast was included with our reservation and was made to order. No self-serve room with numerous chafing dishes of dried out scrambled eggs, super greasy bacon and toasters or waffle irons that you operate yourself.
Our bed was very comfortable and the room charming!
The staff is pleasant and very accommodating.

This was my first time at Admiral Farragut Inn. The location is prime and an easy stroll to Thames St.The manager, Rick was very nice and check-in was easy. I feel like the pictures of the rooms did not add up to what my room appeared to be. The room was clean without any issues. I was in the basement. There was no heat, but rather a Humidity machine. There was no fridge in my room, but an old fridge outside and it was very icky inside. I think for the price it was not worth it. I declined the breakfast because I didn’t feel the Inn was to my standard. I believe there are other properties owned by the owner so perhaps they may be better, but not the ones at 31 Clarke St.

Call so parking needs can be planned as parking is very limited. In addition, you must go during your breakfast appointed time as seating is also limited (12 seats). It's a historic house so there is original parts so you can't really compare it to a five star hotel, it is what it is and enjoy it. Location is great as it is two streets away from main street just above Brick Alley Resturant. Make reservations ahead for weekend dining. There is no elevator as we were able to carry to third floor our light luggage for two day stay. Shower was hot. House is not sound proof so sounds may be heard from your neighbor hint hint, so we brought a speaker for music. Room does have a tv, no refrigerator so don't have leftovers. Great location. Eat at White Horse and go for a sunset sail all close by.

We enjoyed our stay at the Admiral Farragut Inn. It was a little difficult to find since there was no sign. Also, you have to check in at the Cleveland house next-door. That was not indicated anywhere when booking through Expedia. We ended up calling and it all worked out. The person who checked us in, was very helpful and nice and gave us the lay of the land. We had never been to Newport before and were only there for that one night. She gave us some restaurant recommendations that were a short walk away. Our room on the top floor was lovely. It was a nice king bed and a fairly large room with a skylight, pitched roof, and beams. There was also a nice bathroom, although the shower was a bit small, however, my husband and I are both big people. We ordered our breakfast at check-in for the following morning. It was very tasty. I had eggs, sausage and blueberry pancakes. The server offered orange juice to other tables but not to us. You help yourself to coffee, but all they had was regular, and I only drink decaf. They also only have caffeinated tea. it would’ve been nice to have herbal options. Check out is simple; you drop the key off in the basket in the house next-door. The location could not have been better. We were a block away from the historic Touro synagogue and the next block over from Thames Street, where all the shops and restaurants are along the water. We would definitely stay at the Admiral Farragut Inn again.

Inns of Newport are a great option for downtown!

Online reservation process was straightforward. Rick and the staff were super-friendly and super-accommodating! Upgraded to a suite when we arrived for a reasonable rate, and it was very spacious and comfortable. They have tasty, simple breakfast items that were made to order. Each building has parking, but people who don't know how to park made it a challenge (holiday weekend) - it worked out though. Centrally located so you can walk to just about anything in Newport except the mansions. Highly recommend - would definitely stay again!

This is a convenient place to stay close to Thame's street with a friendly innkeeper who is quick to respond to needs and who prepares a very good, although limited menu breakfast. It is not your classic B&B-there are 6 properties the innkeeper manages and breakfast is consolidated into 1 area. There is no downstairs living area. The Inn is old, shabby and in need of repair including, painting and general upkeep. It is overpriced but the convenience may be worth it.

Quasi B&B

If you are looking for the standard B&B experience this is not the place for you. The Inn is one of four Inns run by \"The Inns of Newport\". It was more of a hotel type experience than a B&B experience. Upon check in we had to go to the central building where we were pressured to upgrade from the room that we originally booked, for an additional cost of course.. The Inn is on a quiet street within walking distance to most restaurants, however, there are many other Inns in Newport that I would have preferred to stay at.

Splendid Weekend Getaway

Traveled to Newport from Massachusetts for a 3 day long weekend. Staying at the Admiral Farragut Inn was an absolute delight. The maitre'd was very friendly and accommodating, and the other employees were also very kind and helpful (they helped me with my meager duffle bag even though I insisted it wasn't necessary). As I was traveling solo, I had a comfortable room on the second floor: four poster queen sized bed, wood stove, window AC, tv, and a private bathroom with a tub.

Nice central location surrounded by other equally gorgeous colonial homes, with a 10 minute walk to the downtown area and about a 1.5 - 2 mile walk to First Beach, Cliff Walk, and the Newport Mansions. The breakfast service was also wonderful, and I appreciated that you could call and tell them what time you would be ready and what meal you wanted. The french toast was excellent!

Parking was a bit of a hassle, as you could either try and grab a space next to the Inn (tight quarters) or park across the street behind another bed and breakfast the owner manages. I was lucky enough to stay parked in one of these two lots my entire trip, with the self-imposed caveat that I walk everywhere (not a deal breaker for me by any means, but if you are accustomed to driving to your places of interest, be prepared to pay for parking).

Overall, I had a wonderful time! I would definitely go back again, perhaps in the Fall when it's a bit cooler!

Expected more charm from a Newport bnb, plain furnishings and faulty plumbing. Charged extra for full breakfast, which had to be ordered the night before and was just ok. I really expected more from this facility! Location is great.

A great B&B in Newport

If you are looking for a standard hotel with amenities, this is not the place for you, but it you want to experience Newport from a quaint B&B, look no further. The rooms are cozy, but the best part about this place is the staff. Rick the Inn Keeper knows everyone and can help you make your trip unforgettable. Don't miss out on the breakfast, there eggs were amazing and the service was second to none.

A good and Convient place to stay

The Admiral Faragut is a great place to stay. it is two blocks from the center of town. staff was great. Parking is another matter. Limited parking in their tight lot. We had to park on the street. They issued a parking permit to avoid tickets. Our room was nice. Only Improvement I would make is, the lighting sconces on either side of the mirror had bear light bulbs with no shades It was like looking at two suns.

LIKE The property has a lot of charm and is wonderfully situated, convenient to everything. My room was lovely and comfortable.
DISLIKE Breakfast was tasty, but I didn’t like having to select my breakfast options the day before, as well as being held to a fixed seating time. But the the breakfast room is rather small, so I can see why they would want to control access, otherwise they might be swamped if everyone came down to breakfast at the same time.

Rick, the manager, called us while we were traveling and offered \"an upgrade\", which we took. We had a late arrival and the staff was accommodating. However, we arrived to be staying in the attic of a house. No hand rails to the attic level. The carpeting was dirty. The bathroom and bed were very clean but the furnishings were dusty and dirty. Rick brought someone out to clean the room. I was traveling with my 80 year old mother - so not 2 kids looking for \"an experience\".

Unprepared properties with a bait & switch upgrade

Arrived at check in time and was told we could check it but our room wouldn't be available for a couple of hours. When describing the room he said we may want to switch to a different room because the ceiling was slanted. That's when the bait & switch came in. The different room would cost considerably more. He reduced the increase and we agree unhappily and were told the room would be ready in 90 minutes... grrr So we parked on site and walked the community until we were contacted. Got into the room to find the TV not working and no Kleenex available. they came by and took care of that while we were at dinner. The morning was the biggest disappointment. Free breakfast so we came down just after 9AM to find only 3 tables (all full and people annoyed at the wait for food). the single server was a very sweet girl but severely undertrained and uninformed of the number of meals that would be needed. We finally received out food at 10:45. At this point, half our day was wasted. This and any affiliated properties will be avoided.

The room was very small, the shower had low pressure, the air-conditioning didn't work properly, the sink was in the bedroom and had a contsant drip, the parking was very difficult and limited, so I had to park in a public park one night. It was very overpriced.

First we were told we were being moved to an entirely different property, but that our new room wasn’t ready yet. When we arrived back at the office we had to follow the owner in his car. Once we finally made it to the room it was just a converted bedroom in a house right next to a shared kitchen where every sound could be heard. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and placed all the way in a corner so one person had to crawl in and out. There was a three inch gap between the window ac unit(which didn’t keep the room very cool) and the window frame exposing the room to the outside. The television didn’t work. The bedding was stained. The room was generally very unpleasant looking. Not the quality I would expect for $400+ a night. We only stayed one of the three nights as it was such a bad situation and impossible to enjoy our long awaited vacation. The owner tried to put us back in our original room when I attempted to cancel the remainder of our stay, but followed it up by saying that the room he put us in was “much nicer” than the original. If that’s somehow the case I’m not sure how this man stays in business. Never again would I stay in one of his properties, of which he seems to own many.

The accommodations were decent - clean and pleasant. We felt the room was small and crowded. Unfortunately, the owner/manager was abrupt, disorganized, and unprofessional with us and with a number of other guests. Although check-in started at 1pm, they still didn't have a room ready for us when we returned at 5 pm. We ended up in different rooms than we had reserved. The owner/manager disparaged other guests and even his own staff (who were beyond amazing and extremely overworked, at his own admission) to us. He also reminded us multiple times how expensive the rooms are for weekend guests and that we were paying less! While there may be difficulties such as staffing shortages due to Covid, that doesn't excuse a lack of communication and unprofessional behavior. We were told we had to make reservations for the included breakfast, but they ran out of available time slots, leaving us unable to dine there. I would not recommend staying here for now.

Paid $290 per night. The room was so bad that we had to forego one night stay. No hooks in the bathroom or the room. No toilet paper roll holder. Not even a soap dish. Bathroom can barely fit a 4ft person. Room was barely cleaned. Not even a bottle of water in the room. Breakfast was sub par. No curtains on windows. Bed linens stored behind the bed in plastic bag. We have stayed in Newport few times and this was the worst bed and breakfast. Would not recommend to anyone.
