My boyfriend and I were passing through Newport on a motorcycle road trip. We only needed a place to stay for 1 night. JOAnnes place was affordable, clean and within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and bars. Close to the Harbor and close to the cliff walk. If I was staying for a week, I might consider a lodge with more amenities. (like a pool) All in all this was perfect for what we needed. Got in, got out, kept going. No hassles.
