The Marshall Slocum Inn is an exceptional property located walking distance from downtown Newport including popular restaurants and bars. The room is smaller than the others in the inn, and a little quirky with the bathroom at the top of the spiral stairs, but it was an excellent value and exceeded our needs. My wife and I were in town for just two days to attend a wedding on Goat Island. Being just after July Fourth, most of the downtown hotels were booked or unreasonably expensive. This was an ideal option for us — convenient and charming. Be sure to enjoy the breakfast: I can recommend both the Portugese omelet and the cinnamon French toast.
