Overall, we had a good stay at the Carey House. Joann is very knowledgeable about the area and was able to make suggestions that were useful to us. The location, while close to many activities, was surprisingly quiet. The room was very clean and mostly comfortable. The bed was not quite as comfortable for us as other people seemed to think it was. Given that the Carey House is an older structure, it was not surprising that the electrical system had difficulty accommodating air conditioning demands during very hot weather, causing our power to go out a few times. As a side note, our room was located upstairs and the stairway is very steep. Anyone with mobility issues should consider her first floor room. Generally speaking, it’s a fairly comfortable , budget- friendly accommodation in Newport. We would stay here again.
