I had to attend a wedding in Newport and this place was recommended to me. I knew it was on the "poor" side of Newport but the rates at the other hotels were outrageous. The building is definitely out of the 50's and it is showing its age. The rooms are typical of the era. The plumbing fixtures are another... more

The Seaview is an older motel, not a hotel called a motel, not a cookie-cutter chain building. You can drive up to the door and not have to lug luggage through a couple of heavy doors that close in front of you and require key cards to get through, then walk down long corridors to your little box room.

Where to start? Lets just begin by saying that this "inn" that claims to be a three star establishment with all ocean view rooms is nothing more than a motor lodge above a main highway next to a corporate park with a distant glimpse of an inlet in the background. Mind you, this "water view" can only be seen from... more
