Guest Reviews & Ratings
I absolutely loved the location of the hotel, close to everything on foot and offering a retreat from the bustling streets. The rooms were spacious and nice, although a bit noisy during the night. The service was fantastic, cheerful, and very helpful. Dining provided a good start to the day with a variety of options. Overall, a unique experience in an old jailhouse with local charm.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient for exploring Newport on foot and close to shops and restaurants. The room, though cozy, had limited space and a quirky lighting setup. The service was welcoming and attentive, making my stay enjoyable. The dining options were decent, but could use some improvement. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some highlights and challenges.
The hotel has a convenient location near popular attractions and dining spots. The rooms, while small, were very clean and comfortable, providing all the essentials for a pleasant stay. The service was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, offering valuable tips on local attractions. The dining options were adequate, but not elaborate. The location was ideal for exploring the city easily. Despite the limitations, the hotel offers good value for the money.
