The Wayfinder is a beautiful hotel not far from all the amazing things to do in Newport. The rooms were spacious and the hotel restaurant had amazing food. The pool had a great atmosphere and was very child friendly. I will definitely stay here the next time we come to Newport.

We were celebrating our anniversary here and the womanbat the front desk blessed us with a king suite upgrade, it was so nice to have the extra living room space! Driver of the shuttle was very nice and the staff at the hotel and restaurant were top notch. Restaurant was great, way better than I thought based on the "diner" vibe.

Was on okay place to stay. Restaurant service for breakfast was absurdly slow and the restaurant is pretty overpriced. The room was clean. The hotel is a lot of dark hallways and we had to go out and back in to get into the lobby or go to the pool. Wasn’t as cool as it looks online but it was an ok place to stay if you’re just looking for a hotel.

The location is not bad; however because of the distance, you will need to take the distance into consideration. They provide a shuttle that runs on the hour but it requires planning on your part to organize your schedule. We had an issue with the circuit tripping but the staff was quick to fix the problem. The sink in the bathroom only ran hot water not sure why that was happening.

Clean room and friendly staff. Shuttle was great to get you downtown and enjoy the waterfront. Fun lobby and bar area to sit and socialize. Less than optimal features include: The building was cut up with a few stairs in between each wings, so it wasn’t handicapped accessible. Additionally, you couldn’t use a cart to get luggage to and from your room. The room was clean but lacked a few standard amenities, i.e., it didn’t have a closet or iron, and the refrigerator was warm. However the price was very reasonable and the benefits outweighed any disadvantages.
