The Outlook Inn was quaint and located close to the downtown area, but far enough away that it was quiet. The delicious breakfasts varied each morning and were cooked and served to each guest. The staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay enjoyable!

We had a wonderful stay here. The rooms are super clean and newly updated. Very safe and quiet neighborhood at night. The innkeeper does a great job and is very friendly. The free breakfast was awesome. The only downfall is the parking, which is offsite.

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The location is key right near the water area shopping of Bowen wharf. We checked in and Ashlee gave us a ton of recommendations and was literally the nicest person ever. So friendly and just so nice. Parking is a little ways down the street, but you can unload your bags and then go parking and go straight to shopping or dining. There’s a quaint little rooftop that you can sit on and enjoy your breakfast or even something you brought back for dinner. The rooms are so pretty and the colors are so calming and coastal like. Definitely would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful place to stay for our 1 night in Newport. I wish we had more time as it was our 1st time there and we really enjoyed the town. So quaint and felt like we were in a hallmark movie walking around the wharf. I researched where would be best to stay and this Inn turned out to be a great choice. Parking was a little crazy so we appreciate the Outlok Inn had a parking spot just a couple of blocks away. We deopped of our bags and it was an easy walk to the lot. Newport was very safe walking around. Tons of historic colonials in this neighborhood. So fun for walking around. Shout out to Serena who was a wonderful host. She was very welcoming. And also the chefs made a delicious breakfast. Completely recommend this Inn to all. Excellent stay.
