Excellent place for a week in Newport
Pros:

We loved the location, which was within walking distance to so many shops, restaurants, and points of interest. The fact that parking was included was a major plus. Our unit had plenty of room and a nice view of the harbor. It was perfect for four women on a girls trip!

Cons:

It was often difficult to get hot water in the shower. The water heater apparently isn't powerful enough.

Loved this place! The location is perfect if you want a walkable vacation.
Pros:

Location was perfect! Beautiful view of the harbor, we could literally walk to everything... restaurants, mansions, cliff walk.

Cons:

Furniture and kitchen were a little dated... but the space itself was surprisingly large and comfortable overall.

Spacious condo with gorgeous view of Newport harbor, not usually available
Pros:

Spacious condo with gorgeous view of Newport harbor, especially during sunset. Within walking distance to restaurants, a short drive to Bowens Wharf or cliff walk. We didn't cook but the condo comes with a large kitchen equipped with full cookware, so would be great for longer stays.

Cons:

None

Spacious suites, great location but suites in need of total renovation.
Pros:

The location is very convenient. You can walk to the wharfs of Newport and watch the July 4th fireworks right from your balcony.

Cons:

The interior of the apartment was very dated. The bathrooms in particular need an entire renovation. The ceilings in the bathrooms are so low one hits their head when walking into the tub.

Clean & comfortable 3* hotel in a great location.
Pros:

The location was very convenient. There was plenty of parking and we could leave our car and walk into town. We had small kids with us aged 5 and 6 and they could manage the walk without difficulty. The apartment was very spacious, well-arranged and clean. It had a nice view overlooking the pool area and beyond that, the harbour. The beds were comfortable. There was a whirlpool bath which was a real treat! The pool area was decent with plenty of recliners & towels were provided at reception. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Just minor points. The aircon was extremely loud and rattled. We switched it off overnight because it was so noisy. The fixtures and fittings & carpet in the apartment were a bit tired-looking (although everything worked and was clean & well-maintained). We had to set up the sofa-bed ourselves for the children when we arrived late at night.
