Wyndham Newport Hotel

Pool, comfortable and great location.
Really Great food…but food service was terrible, waitress training another girl was rude, didn’t check on us till we were done.

We really appreciated the shuttle bus and used it a few times. Larry the driver was excellent with his suggestions and info regarding Newport. Wish we had talked to him earlier than we did as we would have taken up on a few of his suggestions.

Beautiful property, plenty of parking, excellent restaurant, comfortable bed.

good room, good pool, nice outside area.

Spacious rooms and the beds were so comfortable. Very clean and comfortable hotel. Free shuttle to town

Value for the money

Very nice great location.

Todo solo un poco caro pero de ahí todo muy bien

Breakfast at the hotel was good.

Very well maintained and very clean

Large, quiet room, shuttle bus to and from downtown Newport, great staff, outdoor bar space, on site restaurant, walk to other restaurants and Easton beach.

Staying here was not my decision, in fact I had plans to stay at a different hotel a small distance away but ultimately caved since I was here for a family event and figured I might as well be where everyone else was. That all being said, my intuition was right and I should have stayed elsewhere for a comparable price because despite knowing this was a rate influenced by it being peak vacation season, I found what the hotel offers to be WAY below the basic standard you'd find anywhere else.

As for the positives, the hotel is small and quaint and visually the rooms are nice with modern design and such. If you don't like trudging across a massive property this is ideal and if you would like to be away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Newport or even up the street where all the local shopping venues are, this is a cute, quiet location between there and the beach down the street (aside from the kids camp next door but they weren’t loud surprisingly). Room overall was clean and the bed and bedding was comfortable.

As for negatives, there are far too many expected amenities missing from this hotel to justify a price higher than $150 per night in my opinion, $200 during beach season at most. The fact the only safe is at the front desk is insane to me in 2026 when every hotel under the sun has an in-room safe. It’s also one thing to leave your personal belongings with the front desk staff but it’s another when said staff has continually proven their incompetence with other tasks they’ve been given. I knew of one instance where a relative requested gift bags be given to guests they knew were checking in only for them to never be given out and instead that same relative had to ask for them from the front desk later. Additionally I knew of another group of people who’s bags were somehow lost upon check in. To say you have a safe being managed by a staff who continually can’t get the jobs they’re asked to do completed doesn’t exactly inspire a lot of faith in them to not give away your valuables to any given customer on accident.

The lighting in the room is dark as hell outside of the bathroom not to mention the bathroom is missing a makeup mirror for those that need it. This is a hotel who advertises on their site that they are a great venue for weddings (the reason I attended) and I had to shave myself the night before by sitting on the sink and leaning into the barely lit bathroom mirror hoping my beard was even. I mentioned the beds were comfortable but the pillows were atrocious, I couldn't sleep either night I was there and I usually adapt after one night.

It seems they don’t expect guests to stay for more than 2 nights given how little storage space for clothes is provided. There's all this space in the room and even a couch by the window but would it kill them to add a basic 4 or 6 drawer bureau? I guess we’re expected to hang our socks and underwear on hangers or just leave half our clothes in our suitcase. The closet is small and the only available drawers are paper thin. I would trade the couch for a bureau but even then there’s still room for one as it is (stayed in a one king room and saw the two king rooms relatives stayed in so I know a small bureau could fit in either).

I mention that there are stores up the street (marshalls, shaws, cvs, etc) but getting to them takes quite some time given the speed limit and sometimes insane traffic, so it would be helpful to have a small shop of some sort in the hotel. Of course, they do not have one, there are only a couple vending machines on each floor but no place to buy travel size toiletries you could bring to the room in case you forgot or wanted to pack lighter.

As Ive mentioned I was here for a wedding and this hotel markets itself as being great for weddings. The wedding overall went off fairly smoothly, I’ll chalk up the hiccups to the couple throwing the wedding not the hotel staff who were great. I could see clearly that the hotel liaison who organized the wedding was going through it due to the demands and such of the wedding party and she has all my sympathy for sticking through until the end cause it couldn’t be me. The wedding venue out on the lawn overlooking the water also slightly overlooks the street but the trees and bushes mostly block it out and there were no roaring engines to disrupt the ceremony so it worked out as a good venue. The reception hall is a reception hall, plenty of space and a good venue for a wedding reception or a big event of any kind.

Overall I and others who visited at the same time agree we would not stay here again. For a name brand hotel charging $400 a night a LOT is lacking in the way of basic amenities for what should be a standard hotel and room. Yes it is near the beach, yes it is next to Newport so I understand price is being influenced by that. However, had this hotel offered commonly available amenities I can find at any holiday inn for half the price then I could understand the cost more. It is a nice venue for a wedding so if you plan to be in and out for an event like that then maybe this would be to your liking but for a longer vacation stay I would recommend trying somewhere else.
