The suite was large and the bed was very comfortable. There isn't much space for clothes - no drawers, only a small area with a few hangers and a couple of hooks on the wall. But for just 3 nights, we managed. Checkin was very easy and the staff was great. We enjoyed our breakfast in Little Clam. Although the menu was limited, it was very creative! The location of the hotel is convenient; only a few minutes drive into downtown Newport.

Staff were all very helpful. Room I got was subpar and not as advertised on web. I injured myself on the very poorly constructed bathtub entrance. The place is two worlds. The new part, where I got an upgrade after my injury was okay, and the subpar room way not so. I got an email just before going there that for an additional $14 per day I could get a room upgrade, and when I arrived found there was an additional "Urban Destination Fee" of $25 per day. Thin walls, and ceilings, and below average cleanliness. All folks there were nice, but it is a bait and switch for rooms and many complaints were heard about the restaurant on site, which I didn't go to, but dissatisfaction seemed the rule for other guests I spoke with. The place is struggling.

We were greeted by stepping on dog poop in the lobby and we checked out with vomit all over the lobby, and my daughter found a dead mouse in the pool. Not to mention other crazy guests that stayed on our floor screaming and cursing at us and accusing us of disturbing her dog and all the other dogs on the floor by slamming our room door, as we were walking down the hall to our room as we returned from a nice dinner in town. This was for sure our SH&$%EST hotel stay ever! Literally speaking
