I absolutely adored my stay over St. Patty's Day weekend, and the room was a perfect getaway. I stayed alone over the weekend and am a girl in my 20s. I wanted a quiet getaway even though I have family in Newport and this was perfect (The family house can get quite rowdy and there's only one bathroom LOL).
Some tips for those staying alone or couples:
- Location is practically parallel with Brick Alley and super close to SpeakEasy, two fantastic restaurants in town.
- Location is also near a lot of great parks, treat shops and the harbor.
- The locks were finicky for me. So if you're timid like myself & can't get in - go get a drink at a bar close by real quick, you'll get it after that! (Liquid Courage always helps).
- You can hear a lot going on in the room if the house is pretty full. Upside is, I felt very safe in the house as it seemed everyone was around my age. I usually don't mind the energy of loud & happy people, especially with the parade this past weekend. But I understand a lot of people are anxious with noise.
- Do be careful walking around at night. Spring St can get really dark at night as it doesn't have ample lighting like Touro St.
All in all, 5 stars! I will definitely come back as the location w/ the price, was prime!
