Newport hotels near Bowens Wharf

Pros: Loved the comfy bedding, large jacuzzi tub & bathroom, coziness of the common areas, dining experiences, staff, grounds, and so on.

Pros: The level of service was superb! The staff was available for our every need, making every detail perfect. The dinner was among the best we have ever had. The management of the facility was top shelf.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Beautiful property in a gorgeous setting.

Cons: I paid about $1,000 per night and wanted to impress my girlfriend on her birthday. The supposed “water view” was obstructed by by all sorts of roof-mounted HVAC equipment. Massive disappointment in an otherwise great setting.

Pros: beautiful place,delicious food.a restaurant in the landscape

Pros: Cara dining experience excellent. Too bad they seated a dude in flip=flops and shorts.

Cons: Breakfast was just OK and expensive.

Pros: The location was fantastic, and the rooms were lovely. It was perfectly located for the Cliff Walk, and the Avenue of Dreams. They ran a courtesy car into town to save the problems of parking.

Cons: Breakfast was excruciatingly expensive for what it was, not helped of course by the exchange rate.

Pros: Great location. Comfortable. Spacious

Cons: Parking for extra car was a hassle

Pros: The staff always went above and beyond. Especially Sean in maintenance who gave us his time even after leaving for home after shift. Great laundry room!

Pros: Location

Cons: Dated decor.

Pros: Bed was comfortable! Short walk to downtown!

Cons: Our room was above laundry so it was noisey at times!

Pros: Wow! 2 bedrooms, 2 bathroom apartment for price of ordinary hotel room!

Cons: VERY comfortable!

Cons: It seemed like we were stuck down the hallway that time forgot... cold and paint chips in front of our door.

Pros: Indoor pool area was very nice.

Cons: Lost hot water for 8 hours one morning-afternoon.

Pros: I love that it had 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with both a full kitchen, dining and living area.

Cons: Not really.

Pros: It is a spacious two-bedroom apartment across Newport wharf. Easy to go in/out with a car. The site has his own parking lot, and the parking is free of charge. The apartments are clean, two separate toilets are a big plus if you travel with a family. Comfy beds, attentive personal, good wifi, many TV channels.

Cons: A basic Wifi is free of charge but can only connect 4 devices. If you travel with family, it can be not enough. Room cleaners have a strange habit to leave a garbage out of apartment doors, so at first it gives a shocking feeling of the extreme dirt. Was removed after we contacted the main desk.

Pros: Love the hip decor, ultra comfy bed, beautiful views and breakfast was delicious!!! Staff was wonderful, very welcoming.

Pros: The hotel staff was friendly, knowledgeable & couldn’t do enough to ensure our stay was an excellent experience!

Cons: I was surprised by the daily vehicle parking fee that was charged for each day of our stay, especially during non-summer travel dates

Pros: Location, views from room and restaurant.

Pros: Location, bar and public area very good.

Cons: Room was cramped and the “water view” really wasn’t.

Pros: The food is outstanding. And staff is great.

Cons: Music in main areas is always way too loud. Yet, within the rooms it is ultra quiet, thank goodness.

Pros: Location was good. Most of the staff was helpful when we arrived, but management/ front desk was not responsive.

Cons: Absolutely not worth the price. When we arrived the the A/C was broken in the hotel. They said it was fixed, but the A/C in our room did not come back on. We lowered our thermostat to 55 degrees, but our room was still much warmer than the adjacent hallway. Nothing was done to remedy the situation. The rooms were also small / very basic. I would expect much, much more for 1800 / night. I think this was a complete rip off.

Pros: Breakfast was lacking, ran out of eggs, but it was free/included so it was good to have.

Cons: toaster faster, someone available to direct guests that silverware was in the drawer under the coffee service, and that the french toast and pancakes needed to be heated first.

Pros: Bella was very helpful with reservation and check in. She took care of us in every way possible. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety. Tea time was a bonus. Housekeeping was excellent. Loved the parakeets and the fish pond.

Pros: Excellent location, friendly staff, clean room & comfortable bed,wonderful breakfast!

Pros: Cozy, homey. Nice breakfast, great location, nice tv lounge complete with parakeets. Lots of character!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The staff was friendly, courteous, professional and helpful.

Pros: Plenty of room and character!

Pros: Quaint inn right I. The heart of Newport

Cons: Lobby needs to be updated. And the person above our room kept us up

Pros: Beautiful. Lots oh history in Newport.

Pros: I have stayed here before and it lives up to my expectation. What I like about it is the location where I can walk everywhere. At this time of year (December), there is free parking across the street also. It is a bonus to have a generous breakfast provided. I prefer this type of accommodation rather than the typical hotel. I will be back!

Pros: I loved that it was quaint and old and in the middle of everything. Perfect location with tons of character

Cons: Really cool antique place

Pros: Location, breakfast

Cons: The room, I didn’t want an apartment style, was very plain, wanted something more cozy. Didn’t use any of the appliances since I again didn’t want the apartment. Room had drapes that were falling apart, carpet was going up not finished, 3rd floor, again not cozy at all.

Pros: Location

Pros: How warm and friendly the Host was. The breakfast was great too.

Cons: The pressure in the shower and it would have been nice to have a sitting room

Cons: Cramped room with double and single for only two people leaving no space to move around or store luggage, lighting ancient and not obviously or conveniently located. bathroom decrepit with junk store furnishings and cheap linen.

Pros: Breakfast was wonderful. Melissa was very gracious..

Pros: We felt very welcome and had a nice and comfortable room. Oceandrive/Newport Mansions and Colonial Newport are not far away. I really liked that there were tea and coffee and some good cookies/cakes available in the breakfast room all day. We would come back.

Pros: The facility is clean and staff is overly helpful and friendly.

Pros: Melissa the innkeeper is a gem. She made a delicious breakfast and was so helpful telling us about walks, the mansions and restaurants. We went to Joe’s, a short walk for dinner and the food was excellent. She also gave us a map. A great asset to our stay.

Pros: Lovely clean & comfortable room & super bathroom.

Cons: Somewhat surly welcome. Website carefully hides the 4 lane highway outside, nor does it say no credit cards.

Pros: Very friendly host/owner. Clean room and bathroom. Not luxurious like a ritz, but that's not what this Inn is attempting to replicate. Breakfast was wonderful and had the feeling of a home cooked meal, because it truely was a hoke cooked meal.

Cons: Water pressure was light...I'm really reaching for a negative.

Pros: Rick and his staff do a great job they’re friendly Ideas on what to do and the full breakfast was excellent

Cons: Parking is very tight don’t bring a truck although Rick does an excellent job of parking everybody

Pros: The location was great & friendly staff

Cons: I didn’t wake up in time for breakfast ☹️

Pros: Nothing, especially.

Cons: This stay was a disaster from the start. For the "on site parking," the space provided was 3/4 the size of a normal spot and dangerously insufficient to accommodate everyone. We found ourselves blocked in and unable to come/go as we needed. The worst was NO HEAT provided. It is OCT, so a chill in the air and the overnight was in the 30s. However, the Inn made a decision NOT to turn on the central heat (!!!) and as a result the room was stone cold upon arrival and STAYED THAT WAY until we left. They offered a rickety floor space heater which loudly rattled when plugged in and only took away from what should have been a normally heated room. When we asked them to please turn on the heat, they outright refused. The staff was unbelievably rude and one person in particular was blatantly offensive and insulting. We felt unwelcome and uncomfortable. Our questions were met with rolling eyes, heavy breathing,etc. The room itself was insanely small, unattractive and poorly appointed, most of the materials outdated. In particular a worn out crappy 25 year old looking wall to wall carpeting which was to our shock actually laid down ONTOP off another wall to wall carpeting job before that, edges unaligned and previous carpet protruding indicating a very poor amateurish job. Embarrassing. There were holes on the walls which were visably dirty, paint job sorely overdue. Outdated bent, dusty blinds on the windows and of course the non-functioning baseboard on the floor was old and yup, falling-apart, parts literly hanging off, broken! The list goes on....We never give reviews but felt this had to be reported and we hope it will prevent others from staying there! Don't waste your money!

Pros: You can’t beat the location. It’s a block from Thames street where most of the bars and restaurants are and only a few blocks from the wharfs. You can easily walk the same routes the tours buses charge you for and at your own pace. The breakfast at the inn was very good and fresh. There is parking at the inn which is a plus bc parking is very limited. The Inn overall is nice and definitely has that cozy rustic old home feel.

Cons: The hallways and rugs were very dirty and in desperate need of a good vacuuming. If you like your room cool don’t stay on 3rd floor heat rises and it gets hot. Windows only open an inch. Don’t leave your luggage open or any candy or food around you will most likely find it open and eaten by morning, house is few hundred yrs old there are little friends in walls but that’s normal for a house that old.

Pros: We chose the Clarkeston Inn mainly for its location, which is on a quiet side street near to the main areas of Newport. The arrival process was a little confusing as there is no signage outside the property, and the Inn is part of a collection of other buildings and accommodation facilities run by owner. However, once we established where the office was located, the staff couldn't have been more helpful, ensuring we were parked OK and helped with the luggage to the room. The room itself was very quaint with lots of nice period features, and as a bonus had a very large shower area. Breakfast was included in the room rate, which was all nicely cooked to order from an extensive menu.

Cons: As previously said, the property is a period house with lots of nice features, but it could do with some sympathetic updating and redecorating to make it top notch. The heating system is centrally fed warm air with bizarrely no control in the room itself, and it was absolutely roasting! No matter, a member of staff quickly arrived with a stick to prop the period window open - we did appreciate the adapt and overcome attitude!

Pros: The staff was amazing! Very friendly and helpful. Rooms were quaint, like you would expect in a B&B. Clean and quiet. Walking distance to food, shopping etc.

Cons: I was on a business trip and went down to grab something 'quick' for breakfast before I left. Breakfast is made to order. It was home cooked food, very good, just know you will be sitting down to order a breakfast. I think it is perfect for vacation.

Pros: Property is very close to all of the little shops downtown and just 2 blocks from the water. Breakfast and coffee were very good too.

Cons: Parking super tight - if you have a truck do not take it. The big disappointment was the fireplace. We chose the room because of the fireplace;website advertises “working fireplace.” We even bought Duraflame‘s so we could enjoy a nice romantic night by the fireplace. It’s the ~only reason why I chose it. We get there & ask if it was ok to use and we were told “no, those aren’t used this time of year”. It’s 48 deg in oct ? They even asked me when they called me to confirm the room, that if I needed a fireplace? Makes no sense at all. So I spent $500 for a night that I could’ve spent $50 at super8, same result. Kinda disappointing.

Pros: Breakfast was made To order and very good. Location is great. Walked to everything.

Pros: There isn’t a sitting room at #28 that we could see or told about. The room, Astor room is underwhelming though clean and the bed large and v comfortable. The bathroom ceiling needs attention and there was no surface to put stuff apart from bedside table. Wifi doesn’t work at all.

Pros: Closeness to downtown

Cons: Room location in the house was horrible. Do not stay in Mrs. Astor. The microwave station was right outside our room, and from 6:00 AM all we heard was beeping and buzzing from people using the microwave. Internet was down our whole stay. Warm for October, but could not open the window due to no screen and garbage cans right outside our window. No AC, and no ice. They need help with parking very in organized. Thank goodness we only had to sleep there!

Pros: The location is great. The staff was attentive. Great breakfast every day.

Pros: Great location off the main street.

Cons: Yes, DO NOT stay in the Doris Duke room-loudest we've ever experienced. Right on the street with sound of every passerby. Right at the front door of the inn so every entry and exit is heard. Right next to the room in which breakfast is made.
