we just got home from a great vacation in newport, and i must say that the comfort and value that we had at the best western newport easily ranks high on the highlights of our vacation...the room was spotless when we arrived (and was available before 3pm checkin) on the first day and on every other day after maid service...we had ample storage room for our clothes, as we were provided with a dresser and closet for clothes. i would definitely suggest a stay at the bestwester mainstay, as it has a great location just outside of scenic newport and ALL AAA MEMBERS, check the back of the aaa book for r.i. and get a 3rd night for free midweek.

Hotel was not good, only alright for some economic travellers. Rooms where moldy and dirty. Additionlly the room had no closets and limited storage. The hotel was very noisy from people, foot traffic in halls, and the main and side roads around the facillity. The view from the room was of the road and on the first floor you have a view of the ground slopping up to a stone wall.The pool was small in depht and lenght, murcky, and it was in the parking lot. Not a good hotel.

We stayed at this hotel in july 2007. Please let me tell you how impressed we were with this hotel. It was easy to chech in , the people at the front desk were very helpful and very friendly. We requested a room on an upper floor, which we got. When we got to our room it was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The view from our window of the newport bridge was a great bonus. We were very pleased with this hotel, we will definatly stay here again. Thank you again for a pleasent stay. We highly recommend this hotel to any one.

I stayed here with my preschool daughter to attend a weekend wedding in Newport. I had misgivings about the proximity to a Naval facility, but I felt safe here. There were lots of other families there. The room was clean and everything worked. The restaurant was also clean, the food was surprisingly good. Try the Greek omelette.

My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel back in August of '05.

I loved the fact that we weren't in the middle of town, and that we were right across the street from the beach (East Beach...I think). This beach is very pretty!

It was a bit of a hike downtown, I wouldn't recommend walking, but that's just me. If you don't mind walking up and downhill for about 20 minutes or so then by all means...hoof it.

The hotel is walking distance to Flo's Clams Shack (yummy) and there is a liquor store around the corner. (Always comes in handy).

Overall, it was very nice place to stay . It was clean, quiet and not too pricey.

I would definitely stay there again.
