Perfect location and very comfortable room.
Pros:

Perfectly centrally located- only 15 min walk to the Cliff Walk, or 10min to the harbor. Or can take a free shuttle just 1 block from the Inn. Parking on site was very helpful. Inn was quiet and short distance away from the busy downtown. The outside deck was wonderful in the evening on a very hot day, and we enjoyed a game of cards.

Great place to stay in Newport
Pros:

My favorite place in Newport! Great location, peaceful garden, great staff, beautiful rooms, breakfast with the best pastries. We stayed in 2 different rooms which were both beautiful, very clean with clean bedding, robes and towels. Nicely decorated rooms, also nicely decorated common areas. If you are looking for a decent accommodation in Newport, this is the place. We loved it and will be back!
