Could be better but not the worst. Price is high for average hotel not right next to the beach.
Pros:

Location is just okay. Like that they have an outdoor pool but it’s never clean (been staying here for years) tub was very clean and beds were clean and comfortable. But the sink faucet leaked and there was constant water on the entire bathroom counter, getting all of our stuff wet.

Cons:

Leaking faucet. That room was not clean and ready when we checked in after 4pm and had to wait with all of our stiff in the long for a while.

Even though the place was nice, we were very disappointed in our one night stay. To only have one day( which was a birt
Pros:

The property was nice but unfortunately after a very long drive and only a day stay our room wasn’t ready until 9:30 at night. It unfortunately took a lot away from our trip for the amount of money spent.

Cons:

Didn’t check us in until 9:30pm. We only had one day there and exhausted when we arrived.

Everything was fine for a quick one night stay.
Pros:

Good sized room for 3 people

Restaurant on site but we didn’t use.

Decent, small gym

Nice outdoor pool

Cons:

Our keys didn’t work and the manager/front desk person was mansplaining how to use the keys. He finally decided to come to our room and found out that there was a problem with the door and key access which was rectified.

At check in we were not told how to access the outdoor pool which involved getting a key pad code.

Pros:

The hotel was a convenient and easy travel distanced from Newport.

Cons:

A minor inconvenience was that the hallway was not air conditioned or properly air conditioned and some of the products in the bathroom were either empty(shower body wash) or not up to standard(like the body lotion).
