We had the best experience at the Wellington resort in Newport.
Pros:

We loved the views from our balcony. It was close to all the shops and eateries on Thames st. Such a perfect location. My children loved looking at the bunnies on the hotel meadows.

Cons:

It would be nice to have room service.
