Our stay at Kathleen's place was a good experience overall. The check-in process was easy, Kathleen responds to concerns very quickly, and the location is great. Kathleen is also very accommodating! We stayed here for my boyfriend's graduation from OCS and we were only about a 5 minute drive from base. There is also a Walmart, TJ Maxx, Aldi, and many other stores less than 3 minutes down the road. The place was well decorated, had amazing views of the bay, and had a great outdoor area. But cleanliness wise, it was not up to par, upon walking in there was an immediate unpleasant smell. The couches had stains on them, there was visible dirt/hair/dust on the bathroom trash can, utensils weren't clean, there was food from previous tenants still in the cabinets and freezer (pint of ice cream with used spoon on it). Overall you just did not get clean vibes from this place. Another odd thing I found was that the housekeepers apartment is directly attached to your own, only separated by a door with a lock like you would find in a restroom. But overall, this place is excellent value for money as hotels in Newport run anywhere from $300-400 a night, if you can look past having a sparkling clean place and don't mind the housekeeper below you, you will enjoy this place.
