This was an amazing, spacious, modern hotel! Staff was very friendly and accommodating, our only qualm was that we were told our free drink vouchers worked for signature cocktails, but when we went to get them, they only worked for wine/beer and the bartender was frustrated that we had been told that. Other than that, we had an awesome stay and will be back.

Room had some stains on furniture but the bed was clean. The temperature control on the room was great and it was a very comfortable environment. Lobby having games to play and a great cafe were very good bonuses. Had a rainy weekend but I’m sure the walking trail would have been nice.

Fun and funky, a great place inexpensive place to stay overall. Could use some rugs in the rooms to help block sound/footsteps above. Area is Ok, convenient but a little too run down for my taste.

The property had just reopened but the Resturant was opened scarcely and no breakfast provided but a Resturant rented the area but I had to leave so report. Good and friendly place.

Good location to have access to Newport but pricey since it’s not in the heart of town. Clean, but room didn’t have extra comforter like most are prepared with and took over an hour to get one. Bathroom was not thought through when redone. The sink had no countertop and no sink high table next to it. Makes getting ready in a hotel difficult and compounded by a family stay.

Our comforter had some tomato sauce (?) stains and the cafe wasn’t open very long in the mornings but otherwise it was great!
