The hotel’s location is fabulous. It’s in a very quiet part of Newport and a short 7 min walk to Thames Street. My room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The sheets were like butter and my pillows were the best part! The bathroom was a little small but everything else made up for it. I will definitely be staying there again!

Complimentary breakfast in the morning was great to get your day started. Peter was an extremely knowledgeable resource in helping us plan our days when we didn’t know what we should see. We will definitely be coming back in the future. Very nice stay a 10 minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of downtown Newport.

Shower in the Lark Suite is tricky to figure out but a lot of water pressure. While we were there the hot water in the shower did not work very well. We let them know and hopefully it is fixed by now.

We arrived after the desk staff were off duty but we received lots of helpful communication about accessing the facility and the room, parking, etc. The room, and the property in general, were really lovely. Breakfast was delicious. The only concern was some pet dander on the sitting room sofa that prompted a mild allergic reaction for us.

Terrible stay at the Attwater

Parking was difficult. A few tight spaces adjacent to the hotel. If full, required to park across the street. When I went to park across the street there was an event and no available spaces. Waited until someone left. As to the room, the bathroom sink was not working, would not drain. Informed management and was told it would be fixed. It was not fixed. The bedroom had one window with a broken shade and the other was missing. Only three hangers in the small closet. No in room coffee makers. Thankfully I am in good shape as I was required to carry my large suitcases up to the third floor. Have no idea how an elderly person could manage this issue. Last but not least, at 2:30 in the morning the fire alarm went off. No staff on hand to inform guests on next steps. Guests all ended up in the first floor living room, unclear on what to do. The Newport Fire Department showed up to look into the matter and they were the ones to tell the guests that it was all clear to return to your room. Nobody from the hotel was there to assist guests or for that matter address questions from the Fire Marshal. When the alarm went off I called the hotel’s emergency number and got a recorded message saying that the office was closed and to leave a message. To pour salt on this wound , in the morning when I checked out, no apologies from the team managing the front desk. At a minimum I should have been offered a discount for all of this nonsense.

Loved the Attwater

We really enjoyed our stay at the Attwater. The hotel is in a quiet, more residential part of Newport. We arrived the day after Labor Day and were upgraded to a suite on the third floor - it was like having our own apartment. All of the staff were very helpful - Brandy knows Newport well and gave us a lot of helpful info. At her suggestion we went over to Third Beach in Middletown and nearby Sachuest Point Wildlife Refuge, a gorgeous spot to walk and see goldfinches. We will return!

We booked a two bedroom room so we would be able to sleep.
air conditioning was broken in one room. We didn’t even receive a fan until the second night and it was all moldy. We couldn’t sleep with open windows because of the noise so we ended up sharing one room. The management could only see fit to refund 10% Even though we could only use one room. Very disappointed. And they wouldn’t even communicate with me. Totally ghosted me stay somewhere else.

This hotel is not what we expected. The rooms are TINY so much so that we had no space to even open our suitcases without bumping into the door. The whole room needed a fresh coat of paint and the knob in the shower fell off every time you tried to turn it. Our room was on the ground floor and everyone walking by could see right in unless we kept the curtains shut at all times (which made it very dark). Breakfast was underwhelming. Definitely wouldn’t stay again. Especially for the price point.

I will say, however, that it was very clean and the bed was comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay here. Breakfast was delicious. Assorted pastries, quiche, fruit, overnight oats, coffee. All wonderful.
We stayed in the Beach House on the 2nd floor. It was like a little apartment. Beware though. If you have any issues walking steep stairs you may want to stay on the ground floor. There are no elevators so this was a bit difficult but we were able to manage.
There is no front desk, so you need to check in via text which was fine. They could have been a little more welcoming but friendly enough. I wish they had water out for guests that would be a nice perk. Very nice location as it is in the heart of Newport.

First time staying at The Attwater and it won't be our last! Such a cute boutique hotel tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Newport but conveniently located so it's walkable to downtown!
The manager, Peter, was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious and equipped with everything we needed for our weekend stay. And the included breakfast had amazing homemade offerings. Another bonus of The Attwater was free parking. Highly recommend!

The Atwater was a sweet surprise, tucked away just a few blocks from the water. The room was perfect and the hotel itself was so inviting with all of its little areas to sit and relax. Breakfast was very good and the homemade chocolate cookies in the afternoon hit the spot! I wish we had planned to stay in town longer. We will just have to come back and stay here again!

Overall was a decent stay. Not particularly close to the downtown but we thought in looking at the map it was doing but when we were actually there, walking a mile each way when you are already walking a lot down turn wears on you. The building feels a bit cold, not as homey as a B and B. The a/c unit was a bit noisy at night and would wake us kicking on so we chose to not have it on the second night so would have preferred a quieter air option. The breakfast was not meant to be substantial but was just okay.

It is in a good location and the staff is friendly. I was surprised when I got a call asking when we would arrive. They were making sure we knew they closed at 5. I wasn’t aware of that but it wasn’t a big deal and they give a code to the front door to come in after hours. Breakfast was good. Overall good, we are just not used to not having any hotel staff in site. They were sure we had a contact number for that time

Loved how comfortable the beds were and how close the property was to all the bars, restaurants, and bowens wharf area. The front desk was so nice and helpful too and the breakfast and free parking were a plus!

The Attwater has everything you could want in an inn - modern bathrooms and decor, comfortable bed, lovely breakfast, free parking, and it is within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Our spacious King suite (on the 3rd floor) had wood floors, a mini fridge, and a gas fireplace in a separate sitting area. The mansions, Cliff Walk, and Thames Street are a short drive away. (All are within walking distance too). The Inn keeper(s) do everything in their power to ensure check-in is easy and your stay is comfortable. Be sure to do the Ocean Drive loop and stop at Picnic or Cru Cafe for lunch.

Beautiful and friendly

The Attwater is a beautiful boutique B&B in downtown Newport. Check in was easy and friendly. We got upgraded to the king suite which had 2 large rooms and a decent sized bathroom. Everything is clean and bright colors. A teapot and coffee are out all day which is a nice touch. Breakfast was a wonderful array of tapas style offerings. I would stay here again!

The Attwater is a beautiful Inn. We found it to be a nice blend of nautical charm and comfort. The bed was comfortable. We did have some trouble with hot water at the bathroom sink. Not sure why but it was just luke warm. We did pay for an upgrade to the urban beach house and it was nice; however, my husband is 6'7\" and he couldn't take a shower. If we had stayed more than two nights it would have been an issue. Staff should pay attention to these things at check in. The room had a slanted ceiling on the top floor and the pitch in the shower was impossible for him to stand up in. Overall a good stay and nice people.

This property was adorable, well kept and clean. We were upgraded for free upon our arrival to a king suite and it was perfect!! Peter was wonderful and filled with so much knowledge and personality. The area was perfect for walking to get something to eat, explore and central to the fun things Newport offers. The burgers and drinks at Joes were phenomenal, pasta beach was yummy (both gluten free friendly) and the breakfast at Attwater was so different and perfect. Very healthy!!!

A Great Place to Stay!

We had an excellent stay in the Lark suite and the host Peter was super helpful! The room was incredibly clean, the hotel is in a great location and the daily breakfast with pastries, frittatas, and smoothies was such a nice treat! Will definitely be back.
