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!

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.

It is in a good location and the staff is friendly. I was surprised when I got a call asking when we would arrive. They were making sure we knew they closed at 5. I wasn’t aware of that but it wasn’t a big deal and they give a code to the front door to come in after hours. Breakfast was good. Overall good, we are just not used to not having any hotel staff in site. They were sure we had a contact number for that time

The Attwater has everything you could want in an inn - modern bathrooms and decor, comfortable bed, lovely breakfast, free parking, and it is within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Our spacious King suite (on the 3rd floor) had wood floors, a mini fridge, and a gas fireplace in a separate sitting area. The mansions, Cliff Walk, and Thames Street are a short drive away. (All are within walking distance too). The Inn keeper(s) do everything in their power to ensure check-in is easy and your stay is comfortable. Be sure to do the Ocean Drive loop and stop at Picnic or Cru Cafe for lunch.

Beautiful and friendly

The Attwater is a beautiful boutique B&B in downtown Newport. Check in was easy and friendly. We got upgraded to the king suite which had 2 large rooms and a decent sized bathroom. Everything is clean and bright colors. A teapot and coffee are out all day which is a nice touch. Breakfast was a wonderful array of tapas style offerings. I would stay here again!
