They call it an Inn but it was like staying at a motel 6. Very old! Bed was terrible, very hard, sheet were terrible! Above the door was a window with no cover. The light blared into your eyes at 6am. Bathroom so small it did not have room for 2 people trying to dress. Overall the price was way overpriced. Also the bay was not to be seen. It is on the corner of a seedy area with homeless guys walking around.

An older hotel that has been updated and remodeled. The room was very clean. Daily cleaning service was excellent. The room was very small. No fault of the property just something that might be helpful to know. Great location just a block or so to the beach and walking distance to many restaurants and bars. If you’re looking for a place to lay your head after a day at the beach, a nice meal, and a few drinks this might be the place for you! If you’re looking for a lodging experience chock full of amenities and luxury then you may want to consider elsewhere.

This is an amazing location, within walking distance of so many restaurants and the beach. We were in town for a volleyball tournament and it was so nice not to have to fight for parking near the Newport Pier every day. Even after check-out, we were allowed to leave our car in the parking lot until mid-afternoon. Small rooms, but very comfortable and a really nice shower. I highly recommend if looking for a place to stay on the Newport Peninsula.

No one was available to check out and they texted to just leave the key on the desk. If you say that the hotel is open 24/7 there better be a person to handle check out especially when you demand a $200 additional deposit.
