Renters beware! I recently booked a room at the Poplar Inn for a birthday weekend with my wife. When we arrived in Newport we were told by the owner Walter that he ‘upgraded’ us from our original room to a ‘suite’. We were very disappointed with our room. It looked nothing like any of the online photos. The room was small, cluttered, and very dated. Not at all what we expected. We ended up spending as little time in the room as possible. The room somewhat dampened what was otherwise a great weekend. Walter advertises the house as an Inn. If you are looking for a quaint Inn, this place is not for you. While the location is good, and Walter seemed nice on the phone, I would not recommend staying here. I’m not sure what the other rooms looked like but my guess is that they are no better than the one we stayed in. The outside of the house is more dated and cluttered than the photos lead you to believe. While it looks like he is trying to renovate the outside of the house, it has a long way to go... I’d suggest staying elsewhere.
