We had a lovely overnight stay at the Marshall Slocum Inn. Check-in was easy and contactless. The Inn itself is tastefully decorated with historical and modern touches. It has cozy nooks and outdoor space to enjoy a cocktail or cup of tea or coffee with friends. We sat on the front porch swing and enjoyed the Adirondack chairs in the back yard. The location is fairly quiet; you do hear cars going by, but it was nothing that interfered with the overall peacefulness of the property and our room, which was bright, airy, and sparkling clean. The coffee and made-to-order omelets Mark made for breakfast were delicious.
As someone who travels to Newport frequently for weekends, I appreciate that the inn is close enough to walk to the wharfs and restaurants, but off the beaten path enough for a restful experience. We would definitely stay here again.
