Overall had a great stay at Pelham Court (we stayed in room 4)! The location is prime - you're literally a 30 second walk to Thames street, right across from the main wharfs where all of the food and shops are. Just about anything you could need/want is within a 10-15 minute walk. The designated, private parking is a life saver, no need to worry or stress about parking. No in-room housekeeping during our stay (June 2022) so it's your responsibility to keep the place nice but management reaches out via text 1-2x/day to ask if you need anything at all - we requested fresh shower towels one day and they were left outside our room in a plastic bag, nice and easy.
Air conditioning worked great, smart TV with various streaming services, fridge had a working ice machine with was a nice little bonus. Super dog friendly - when our pup was barking a bit too much one afternoon being left alone, management kindly notified us via text so that we could address the barking. They even let us know that they let the barking go on for a bit since no other guests had checked in yet, but we were approaching check in time and the disruption would need to end - very fair in my opinion.
The only 2 improvements that come to mind:
1) the mattress - it could use a good flipping/rotating/maybe even replacement as the middle of it is very sunken in, which was noticeable when laying down. There were 2 of us in the bed so at times it was a bit tough to get fully comfortable.
2) the motion activated light on the sidewalk - midway through our stay they installed (reinstalled/fixed?) a motion sensor light that shines down on the sidewalk DIRECTLY outside of the main windows into our unit. It would get activated by both people and cars alike so at night it would activate and light up constantly, shining down into our windows despite our best efforts to close the blinds all the way. I understand patron safety is vital and the property being well-lit is a huge part of that, but the placement of the light is far from ideal as its very noticeable once the sun goes down. Might not be as bad if it didn't activate so often, but for us it was a nuisance.
Otherwise, this is a truly wonderful place to stay - it's well-maintained and located directly in the heart of Newport, and management could not have been nicer or more accommodating to anything we needed. Might be a bit pricey comparatively, but you're definitely paying for location as it was priceless for us to be able to step outside and be right in the middle of all the action!
