The most atmospheric inn I've ever stayed at, the Inn at Bellevue is a time machine to nineteenth century gentility. A gorgeous old Victorian house, whisper quiet, beautifully decorated, I've stayed there twice a year for several years and kick myself for not having discovered it sooner.
The location is terrific too. It's across the street from the old Hotel Viking, a short, beautiful walk to Newport Harbor, so the neighborhood is picturesque and quiet even in the height of summer, when the dock/wharf part of Newport gets pretty noisy.
The owners and staff are as nice as can be, the rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated, and wait till you have breakfast--it's superb.
I can't wait to get back there. 71 days and counting.

After a small mixup upon check-in (the room we requested was not available,) the hotel managers impressed us by very kindly accommodating us. The location is terrific (walking distance to tons of restaurants, bars, and shops), the hotel is an older inn but very clean, and the breakfast was excellent. We stayed in a room with a large, immaculate jacuzzi tub and the bed was very comfortable. All in all, it was a good value.

my husband and i stay at the bellevue inn twice a year. we feel confortable staying at a cozy place where we can come and go without fuss. the rooms are always clean and nicely kept. i love the waffles and the variety of breakfast selections...it is cooked on the spot and its always fresh. we love just sitting in the main sitting area, read the paper and watch people go by. the inn is close to the restaurants and since parking is free, we always walk to the shops. i love newport and plan to stay at the inn where we are most confortable.

We booked a stay at the Inn on Bellevue for this past Valentines weekend 2008.
Hoping for a relaxing weekend we got just the opposite, one thing after the other went wrong.
First the keys did not work, then the toilet broke, spilling soiled liquid all over the bathroom floor, the hot water did not work and worst of all, the heat did not work, in February! We were so cold that we could not even take our coats off. We were kept up all night by children running around upstairs and yelling (turned out there was a family was living in the inn )
When we tried to contact the front desk about our concerns no one was available. I went upstairs hoping to find a maid or someone to voice our concerns and I heard a screaming baby and profanities being yelled from the room where the family was "living".

We were so horrified and disgusted that we left and stayed at a nearby Inn.
