Like everyone has said, the location is very nice, being just a short walk from restaurants and shops. We checked in at 3 at the Blue Jewel, and were told we got an upgraded room in the Newport Blues Inn. We were on the 2nd floor, with a nice bay window. Room was very plain, nothing special at all. There... More

Thank you for your review. We would like this opportunity to apologize for the issues you experienced during your recent stay.

I got a Groupon for a 2 night stay at Black Duck, Blue Jewel Guest House, or the Newport Blues Inn and my boyfriend and I ended up at the Newport Blues which turned out to be a great choice! Location is PERFECT, within walking distance to all the popular areas (except you may need a bike or car to... More

My husband and I stayed there for a quick getaway from CT, and it was wonderful. The B&B is in an old house that isn't much to look at from the street, but inside is just lovely. Our room was spacious and clean, and the shared sitting room at the front of the house had coffee, tea, and homemade cookies... More

My wife and I stayed at the Black Duck although we would have preferred either of the other two places. Staff was difficult to communicate with about setting up a date and a location. For some reason, we ended up with our third choice. The breakfast at the Black Duck was great, and the B&B is in a good location.... More

I stayed here with my girlfriend at the time. It was actually the weekend that we got engaged, so it was certainly a special weekend and staying at the Newport Blues Inn was just right. The rooms are very clean, well appointed and the bathroom was beautifully redone and cozy, with a pedestal sink and clawfoot antique tub (aside from... More

We stayed four nights in Newport RI at the Newport Blues Inn. It was a decidedly mixed experience. We stayed in what was described as a suite and I suppose it does fit the definition. There was a king size bed and a small sitting room with a love-seat that folds out to a bed. it was billed as sleeping... More

My hubby & I recently stayed here and are sorry to report that we found this inn to be quite disappointing. The one good thing about this place is that it's walking distance to just about everything. But as far as great b&bs go...this just doesn't come close. For starters, the rooms are pitiful and SMALL (your average hotel room... More

We are disappointed to hear you did not enjoy your stay with us. I am surprised you were treated abruptly and not given information. When our guests check-in they are given a key, told where to find breakfast, given a parking pass and told where to park. They are also given a map of Newport, with simple directions to the... More

At a golf tournament, I won a free weekday 2 nite stay in a queen bed room at the Newport Blues Inn. I was able to book a Wednesday and a Thursday night in August with a friend. Upon arrival we were upgraded to two queen beds in the Easton Room. The experience was totally wonderful for us! Noteworthy comments:... More

Chose the Blue Jewel because we had a LivingSocial coupon (2 nights for the price of 1). It is a fantastic location - we parked the car and walked almost everywhere during our weekend there. We stayed in the Sapphire Room. The room was on the smallish side and it appeared that the furniture had been rearranged because there was... More

Thank you for staying with us while you were in Newport. The Sapphire Room is next on the list for a new TV. We pick our beds with medium range firmness since many people prefer either very hard or soft and fluffy. As for the breakfast,we always offer choices - one hot item along with a great variety of muffins,... More
