This place has a lot of character, although we probably picked a place in the wrong part of town for our needs. This was our first time to Newport and I think in the future I would locate farther south, closer to the historic mansions. We also experienced some issues with maintenance and cleanliness of appliances but those were not serious and the floors, bedding and linens were very clean. Please note that you need to be very comfortable using the steep staircases, but they are very wide and safe.
