I cannot believe the board of health hasn't shut this place down. The bedrooms were disgusting, the sheets filthy and the hallways smelled like camel! ...and good luck getting a maid to show up to your room. FAT CHANCE.
The fact that they actually had the audacity to take our money is a complete JOKE.
Do yourselves a favor and stay far, far away.

Just a terrible place for the price. Actually, a terrible place, period. It just hurts even more that it cost as much as it did. Small rooms, poor service, tiny showers (that didn't even work at first. They had to put a new shower head in), a bed that sags in the middle. You would think that for $200 per night, they could buy a new bed...
Bottom line: there has to be a better place to stay in Newport.

This was, by far, not one of the worst but THE ABSOLUTE WORST B&B that I have ever stayed in. Every other bad thing written about this place by other reviewers is ABSOLUTELY true. The location is good which is the last and ONLY good thing about this place. A bit about my experience.

Called up on short notice to book a basic room for Memorial Day weekend for my fiancé and I. Was initially quoted $149 on the phone for a queen bed on the 3rd floor. When I called back and played dumb about the rate, I quoted $139 instead and got it. This should have raised some alarm bells, the guy on the phone (later found out it was Dino) was really wishy-washy about things. But, it was Thursday and I was eager to get things sorted for the weekend.

Arrived around 12 noon and our room was ready. Dino was also eager to give us a discount if we paid cash (something about a credit card fee savings that he would pass along to us). This also should have raised an alarm, but stupid me. Our room (15) was on the 3rd floor in the last building, the Bellevue Manor. The doors and locks are flimsy so I can see how other people at the place get broken into, the sheets were stained and dirty and there were a few small dead BUGS in the bed. The toilet didn’t really flush. Dino himself came up to change the sheets so we figured, we would stay. The toilet flushed if you jiggled it and repeated the process a few times. How bad could it get? We stayed the night and the next morning, I went to take a shower. First water spurted out at all different angles soaking me and then no more would come out. I understand low water pressure or maybe tepid water. But NONE WHATSOEVER. Called down to the front desk and Angel answered and said he would move us to a new room.

The new room was even smaller with a double bed and the toilet did NOT FLUSH EITHER. And the shower didn’t work. We went back to the front desk and demanded a refund. That was it, we’d had it and we were willing to go home a day early as we were so mad. The Indian guy first told us Dino was in the breakfast room (but no Dino), then he said Dino had stepped outside for a few minutes. When Dino didn’t come back in, he said that Dino was offsite. We demanded to speak with him on the phone and finally the Indian guy put him on. Dino would not give us back out money and STUPID US, we paid cash. After arguing on the phone with Dino for 15 minutes, who gave us all the same excuses that he gave other on TripAdvisor, we’re a B&B, we’re trying to keep it affordable, go stay at the Hotel Viking if you want a hotel, we’re cheap, etc.

He wouldn’t give us our money back and Angel offered to show us another room in the main building. He took us to the second floor and upon inspecting that room, low and behold, the was NO WATER COMING OUT OF THE BATHROOM FAUCET. I must admit, now I was pissed. I pointed at Angel and said, “Show us your best room right now or I am calling the Dept of Health.” He rushed out and showed us another room. It had running water, the toilet flushed and the shower worked. But the sheets were stained and needed to be changed. With no other choice, we stayed.

And when my fiancé went to take a towel of the towel rack, the entire thing went crashing onto the floor. Figures. Dino, Angel and the Indian dude are all crooks.

We stayed at this small place on the Memorial Day weekend, without booking ahead of time. Found the hotel phone number in the local free magazine, called them up and stayed there for one night. The room was big enough for four people, had two queen-sized beds, a small TV and an air conditioner. The room was pretty clean, the linens were white and clean, the bed was comfortable. The shower was a little too small, however the towels were clean and soft, the water stream was a little too weak, but the temperature was normal. The place was very quite and had a free parking lot right in front of the room door, which was great. The location is perfect - close to the city center and Mansions. We rented the bikes for 24 hours, kept them in the hotel hallway. The complimentary breakfast was great with the variety of foods. The service was excellent! After the check-out, the hotel staff allowed us to leave our car on the parking lot, which was very helpful, as we planned to stay in Newport till the evening, biking around.
Overall experience was very good, though the rooms need to be upgraded and renovated. We do recommend this place for short stay.
