Will be attending a wedding in early Nov. and the bridal couple have suggested the Inn at Newport Beach... the Trip Advisor reviews that I saw were a couple of years old and very mixed....has anyone out there stayed at this hotel in the last 6 months / to a year? The rooms on their web site look rather nice but it is their web site. If not this place, any suggestions? We don%26#39;t know the Newport area very well....thanks for your help..........
Inn at Newport Beach -- Have you stayed here recently?
I know that they were closed for much of this past winter for renovations, but have not heard of anything yet.
It%26#39;s a great location during the summer, but in November, can be chilly (right across from the beach) and a little bit away from the activity of Downtown, but that time of year parking downtown will not be a problem (and free)
Is the wedding at the Atlantic Beach Club? If so, that is definitely the closest hotel (right across the street!) Otherwise, that time of year you should be able to find inexpensive accomodations downtiown....
Inn at Newport Beach -- Have you stayed here recently?
Hi..........thanks for your input......the wedding will be at Rose Cliff...so the hotel does seems a little far; however, based on what I%26#39;ve read, Newport is rather small? I think I%26#39;ll check on a couple of places ';downtown'; as well per your suggestion.........
You are right in that the reviews are mixed. I haven%26#39;t seen or hear about any improvements or renovations to the place in recent years. It is right between the two beachs, but Npt is small and anywhere you be, even in Middletown will be convenient with a car. Rosecliff on the other hand- is gorgeous. You could probably find a better place and this site offers many suggestions.
If your wedding is at Rosecliff, the Hotel Viking would be very convenient, it%26#39;s right at the start of Bellevue, so maybe a mile to most to Rosecliff...also many B%26amp;B%26#39;s and Inns around town as well.
Check out www.gonewport.com for a list of accomodations and links to their websites.
Yes Newport is small, and if you get a nice weekend, very walkable. Even if the weather is bad, the parking around town won%26#39;t be a problem that time of year.
I live in Newport and that place has been through several changes of management and subsequent redecorations/ renovations. Right now I believe it is a Comfort Inn so it must be fairly comfortable. It is right across the street from the main public beach in Newport and a a good restaurant called the Atlantic BEAch club (that has an excellent lobster salad plate). If you want to get up and go swimming in the ocean first thing in the AM and last thing at night, it may be one of the only places that would easily facilitate that.
It is also next to at least another half dozen restaurants including a sports bar, a popular clam shack called Flo%26#39;s that is a Rhode Island institution (however I have never had food there that was anything special)I think people just like the skanky atmosphere. There is a pizza place or two and a couple bars/restaurants. You can walk along the beach and up the hill partway to the Cliff Walk and had dinner or lunch in the most expensive restaurant in Newport, if not in the state, inside The Chanler Inn, called the Spiced Pear and enjoy the views and the food that is edible art.
Thanks for your great input.....I%26#39;ll check out the Viking and a couple of the b%26amp;b%26#39;s......I%26#39;m new to the ';trip advisor forums'; and boy this is really helpful! Ciao for now..................
