Very Good

Amazing experience was treated as if I lived there permanently. Excellent customer even made breakfast for me outside posted hours due to my work schedule while visiting. Walking distance to all the action in historical area of Newport.
Staff was amazing and so welcoming and friendly. Big suggestion sign posting as to where main check in is for all buildings... room was a big tired as far as sink as and in need of replacement. We have stayed in Newport many times over 30years - recently having rented the entire Chart House for long weekends over past 5years each fall, so know we know what to expect from Newport Inns...just needs some attention.
We loved the historic homes our rooms were in. Beds were comfortable. The innkeeper and staff were helpful and friendly, and breakfast downstairs was very nice!
Our visit to Newport was amazing! We were able to see many of the sights suggested by the staff and enjoyed it all. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating to meet our needs and we would definitely recommend to others. The location was centrally located with perfect walking accessibility.
We went with Newport with friends and stayed in 2 different rooms at the Inns of Newport on Clarke Ave. Couldn't have been nicer. Great management and staff. Super convenient to downtown and every place we visited in our 3+ day stay. They include breakfast, both continental and full breakfast every day/. Just Perfect.
We had a really nice stay at the Admiral Farragut Inn. We were traveling with our newborn and the owner was able to move us to a room on the ground floor. Rooms were nice and location couldn't be better.
This is a fun concept. A quaint B&B in an ideal Newport location. The problem is it’s REALLY old and run down. The toilet was broken and took a ton of force to flush. (They warned us about this as we were checking in.) The window could not be opened because it was covered in plastic. The staff was not unfriendly, but not super helpful either. I think we were supposed to get breakfast each day, but nobody mentioned it after check in. Parking is included, but a nightmare due to limited space.

Staff was absolutely wonderful. Location was perfect. Only negative was the place was very tired looking. We’d stay there again though!
We were extremely satisfied with our stay at the Farragut. The staff couldn’t be more helpful!! Everything we needed they were right there to accommodate us. I would highly recommend this B&B if you you just want to relax and the shopping was in walking distance. I give it a A
Location could not be better. An Inn with plenty of charm. Great value and very clean. Not a place for anyone that is pretentious!

It was my first time at this hotel, perfect location, walking distance from the wharf and shopping area. However, the room conditions were far from what I expected. The staff was very nice and helpful.
Plus it was part of the ghost tour:) A old New England house with enough comforts to work for a weekend trip. My only issue is the bed was nearing the end of it usefulness.
I had such a wonderful stay at this property. I was traveling alone for my birthday weekend. Room #9 was just perfect for me. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. I slept well both nights I was there. Private, clean bathroom with a shower. (Shower area was a little small)
Lovely, made to order breakfast, each morning. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Just perfect.
Clean room. Great breakfast. Good service. Parking is limited especially for large vehicles. Its a 200 year old building so as cool as that is, you must expect it not to be modern inside. It was close to everything to see in Newport so it worked well for me.

Property is a little rough around the edges- like duct tape on things and some 20 year old scaffolding that needs to be removed. But staff was excellent and location is excellent with easy parking. Just needs some TLC.
Was great. Only negative note was the windows in the room were nailed shut and AC was not working. Was not a hot time of the year but the air in the room got a bit stuffy. This was particularly true after a shower as there was not bathroom exhaust fan.
Comared to other Newport B&Bs we have been in, the facilities were a bit more rundown and amenities were basic. Breakfast was made on-site to order, but minimalist standard fare. We were suprised there was no fruit provided. Had to ask and was told only bananas available. On the plus side, bed was comfortable and inn was very convenient to the Thames street shops and dining.
