Very nice property and close to key areas in Newport. Didn’t like the bed which appeared to be a full bed and not a queen. In the particular room that I selected, the bathroom was down stairs. The stairs was one of the curled ones; very tight to navigate up and down. I have a bad knee which didn’t make it easier. Otherwise. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a beautifully restored historic home. I can't say enough good things about the property and house and staff. We stayed in the Governor's Suite which was very nice and roomy and big roomy bathroom. I must say there are stairs. You must be able to carry your suitcases up the stairs into the house and into your room. Breakfast was very good. Good choices and good coffee. Many things here are within walking distance and felt very safe. I do suggest the trolley tour as you will see things that are a little too far to walk. The cliff walk is just a one minute walk from the house and is beautiful. Staff very attentive.

My mom and I stayed here on our girls trip and had an incredible experience for our first time at an inn/B&B! We stayed in Beatrice’s room which was so cute, had wonderful views of the garden area and a peak at the ocean, the sunrise views from the room were stunning. It was an easy walk to attractions like the cliff walk, mansions and shopping/dining. We loved the breakfast (especially the fresh sourdough bread), the staff was so kind, and we couldn’t hear other guests from our room/the layout is thoughtful for privacy. When I come back to Newport next I’ll definitely be staying here again!

Upon arrival I was told they had wrongly given away my room to another guest. Not a good start. Worse, they offered to correct it by asking the wrongful inhabitants to leave. That would not have been a good scene. Instead they showed me two less-desirable rooms. We had to settle. No apologies, no offer to compensate me for their mistake and the displacement, no outreach from the management to discuss. A pretty poorly run place that was a little dirty, unkept (rusting baseboard heaters is embarrassing for their room rates), and could care little about their reputation. I would avoid.

A very nice hotel. Unfortunately we were in the Victorian Room, which is on the first floor right next to the main reception area and opposite the breakfast room. It was therefore very noisy and we could not sleep, especially after 7am. Thankfully we were relocated to a quieter room after two nights there. Avoid the Victorian Room if you are a light sleeper or like to sleep in.

A very nice place to stay and would recommend it for the beautiful location, comfortable and beautiful room and excellent breakfast. The Inn’s pet policy worked against as disrespectful neighbors with two loud dogs kept leaving them in the room and they wouldn’t stop barking. This fairly ruined an otherwise really great stay. For the price you are paying they should rethink their pet policy. In fairness we were slightly mcompensated after the fact of having to complain twice becoming people we didn’t want to on what should have been relaxing. If you book here, make sure you are in the main house away from potential issues.

I loved everything about The Cliffside Inn. At first, I didn’t love my room because I didn’t realize I had booked a room with a staircase leading to the bathroom. The staff quickly found us a new and better room. I always looked forward to breakfast every morning as there was always something new and delicious to feast on, and I loved the idea of wine hour!! Loved all the fireplaces throughout the common area and the bedrooms. The staff was always friendly and very accommodating. I was sad to leave but my husband and I will definitely come back!

The Inn employees were extremely hospitable and friendly 😊 The room was lovely, and fairly quiet, even though it was the only room located on the first floor. Parking is convenient, and a short walk from the front door there is a fire pit with a sitting area on the property. We did hear some of the other guests arrive back to the Inn later at night. And with the stairs to the 2nd floor being right next to our room, the Victorian, we did hear guests bump their luggage up and down the stairs. The food that was offered for breakfast was made right there in the Inn kitchen, and was delicious! There are chairs and tables on the wrap around deck, and the weather was perfect, with a gentle breeze, for dining outside. Overall, I would say the property is exceptional, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay celebrating our wedding anniversary 😊 If I could make one suggestion, however, it would be to only allow children 12 and up to stay at the Inn. Both mornings around 8 am we could hear the children of one of the guests being very loud right outside our door. Luckily, we didn’t want to sleep in on those days!

The Hydrangea suite was separate from the main building and closer to Cliff Walk. The door/lock was tough to use, the tv in the living room space was challenging (had to keep updating the service and switch HDMI input to get TV - took me 15 mins to figure out with a call to the front desk). The fixtures (toilet, shower, doors) were remarkably cheap as was the overall quality of materials in this suite for what you pay to stay here in the off season. Giving it 4 stars because the room was large enough with the pull out couch to have my daughter stay with us but value was more like a 3 or 3.5. Glad to see some much needed renovations happening to the main house too. Breakfast looked great but we had other plans.
