Historic Hill Inn??? Nothing online?

I am debating booking a room TONIGHT in the Historic Hill in for next week/weekend. I can not find much online about it and want to make sure it is valid before I go and book it.





If someone has any information please let me know as soon as possible. THANK YOU



Historic Hill Inn??? Nothing online?


As far as valid....yes it actually exists. Good location for walking to town. Walk by it all the time, but have never known anyone that has stayed there. Looks fine from the outside....





I assume you found their website, but were looking for more reviews.....but just in case:

MUST-DO%26#39;s for a first-timer to Newport...



- Tour a mansion - Breakers is the number one Newport attraction. To make the most of this location, after the tour, walk down the street to the Cliff Walk and take a right onto the Cliff Walk. Go at least as far as the Chinese Tea House. On your way there will be a gate to enter the estate of the Astors%26#39; Beechwood Mansion. You will see an expansive lawn with a short set of stairs that lead up to the house with two stone dogs at the top. This is Astors%26#39; which offers a Living History Tour done with professional actors. When you enter the house you step back in time to the year 1891. Great tour to compliment the Breakers mansion since it is so different.



Go to the Visitors Center and grab a copy of the Best Read Guide which has a detailed map and description of the Cliff Walk.



- Take a harbor tour. Some of the most popular are Madeleine, Adirondack II, RunRunner and Gansett Cruises.



- Tour %26amp; tasting at Newport Vineyards. Just a short 5-10 minute ride from downtown. Great deli right next to it also, Fateulli%26#39;s.



- Drive 10 Mile Ocaen Drive and also stop in at Castle Hill while doing so. Sit in the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the best view on the island. Best at sunset!



- Grab a picnic lunch at Sig%26#39;s Deli and go the Brenton Point State Park. Bring a kite as the afternoon winds are fantastic and international kite festivals are held here so it has to be good. At Sig%26#39;s every Mon, Wed %26amp; Fri is fresh baked turkey sandwich day. Get the mac %26amp; chese if it is on display.
