The location of this hotel is fantastic - out of the hustle and bustle of Newport but right across the street from Easton Beach, and right next to Flo's Clam Shack, apparently a local institution. The staff was nice and helpful, and the place was very clean. Now for the negatives - this was the loudest hotel I've ever been in. All of the doors - to the stairwells, the stairwells to the streets, the room doors, slammed. You could hear everything happening in the hall outside. The air conditioning was really loud. You could hear things in other rooms. The beds were very comfortable - aside from that, there was very little furnishings, a pretty small tv (though you don't go to Newport and sit in the hotel and watch tv). The room was really reasonable for it's location, and the beds were comfortable. That said, I wouldn't come back - with the noise, it wasn't an enjoyable stay.
