The property itself was very nice except for the random short sets of stairs in the hallways, making it difficult for me to get my suitcase up and down them. What I have a problem with was the hidden "resort fee" of $25 a day. If that had been disclosed before I booked, I would have chosen another hotel, and I won't stay here again because I hate that kind of deceptive business practice, not to mention, "resort fee" for what? The pool that I didn't use, because I stayed in September for work?

This hotel was a huge disappointment. I was given a ground-level room at the very end of a gloomy hallway. The room had no drapes at all — just cheap paper/plastic blinds that you had to pull up and down with your fingers. If you rolled them up, there was zero privacy because the window overlooked the parking lot where people constantly walked by. If you kept them down, the room was pitch-dark with barely any lighting, making it feel depressing and claustrophobic. To make matters worse, the flimsy blinds eventually came off the hinge altogether. The bathroom was just as bad — extremely basic, with a tub and a plastic shower curtain that screamed budget motel, not hotel. Overall, the room felt gloomy, uncomfortable, and poorly maintained. Definitely not worth the stay.

The suite was large and the bed was very comfortable. There isn't much space for clothes - no drawers, only a small area with a few hangers and a couple of hooks on the wall. But for just 3 nights, we managed. Checkin was very easy and the staff was great. We enjoyed our breakfast in Little Clam. Although the menu was limited, it was very creative! The location of the hotel is convenient; only a few minutes drive into downtown Newport.

Staff were all very helpful. Room I got was subpar and not as advertised on web. I injured myself on the very poorly constructed bathtub entrance. The place is two worlds. The new part, where I got an upgrade after my injury was okay, and the subpar room way not so. I got an email just before going there that for an additional $14 per day I could get a room upgrade, and when I arrived found there was an additional "Urban Destination Fee" of $25 per day. Thin walls, and ceilings, and below average cleanliness. All folks there were nice, but it is a bait and switch for rooms and many complaints were heard about the restaurant on site, which I didn't go to, but dissatisfaction seemed the rule for other guests I spoke with. The place is struggling.
