The Atwater was a sweet surprise, tucked away just a few blocks from the water. The room was perfect and the hotel itself was so inviting with all of its little areas to sit and relax. Breakfast was very good and the homemade chocolate cookies in the afternoon hit the spot! I wish we had planned to stay in town longer. We will just have to come back and stay here again!

First time staying at The Attwater and it won't be our last! Such a cute boutique hotel tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Newport but conveniently located so it's walkable to downtown! The manager, Peter, was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious and equipped with everything we needed for our weekend stay. And the included breakfast had amazing homemade offerings. Another bonus of The Attwater was free parking. Highly recommend!

Great stay, the property and room was spotlessly clean & tastefully decorated. Peter who met us was extremely friendly and knowledgerful! Would definitely stay again.

Overall was a decent stay. Not particularly close to the downtown but we thought in looking at the map it was doing but when we were actually there, walking a mile each way when you are already walking a lot down turn wears on you. The building feels a bit cold, not as homey as a B and B. The a/c unit was a bit noisy at night and would wake us kicking on so we chose to not have it on the second night so would have preferred a quieter air option. The breakfast was not meant to be substantial but was just okay.
