Guided tourist from NJ

Stay was pleasant, older in conditions, in need of repairs and refurbishment. A little shabby, but bed accommodations were very good. Comfortable & crisp clean linens. However not enough Parking spots per rooms; fell short in not including for Check-In possibly not having anywhere to park our vehicle. At times cars may end up on public & very narrow street. It was uneasy not knowing uf using car for day trip would conclude in not being able to park locally to property where I’m staying. Otherwise the breakfast service we found A+ the team there works very well together get the job done always so pleasant & professional. They are an asset to the business. Thank you guys & gal.

A great B&B in Newport

If you are looking for a standard hotel with amenities, this is not the place for you, but it you want to experience Newport from a quaint B&B, look no further. The rooms are cozy, but the best part about this place is the staff. Rick the Inn Keeper knows everyone and can help you make your trip unforgettable. Don't miss out on the breakfast, there eggs were amazing and the service was second to none.

I had such a wonderful stay at this property. I was traveling alone for my birthday weekend. Room #9 was just perfect for me. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. I slept well both nights I was there. Private, clean bathroom with a shower. (Shower area was a little small) Lovely, made to order breakfast, each morning. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Just perfect.

Nice stay

It was a good stay, we did get the last spot in the parking lot at the inn. I am told there was additional free parking across the street. We were placed in a 3rd floor room (walk up) it was small but fine. There was a leak in the shower so we were moved to a first floor room that was much bigger. Breakfast was great and it was clean and comfortable. Location was great!!

Clean room. Great breakfast. Good service. Parking is limited especially for large vehicles. Its a 200 year old building so as cool as that is, you must expect it not to be modern inside. It was close to everything to see in Newport so it worked well for me.

Kinda Crappy

Great location but the facilities are incredibly tired, worn and faded. If this was anywhere else than Newport in high season on a weekend, this would have been a $129 a night room

Quasi B&B

If you are looking for the standard B&B experience this is not the place for you. The Inn is one of four Inns run by "The Inns of Newport". It was more of a hotel type experience than a B&B experience. Upon check in we had to go to the central building where we were pressured to upgrade from the room that we originally booked, for an additional cost of course.. The Inn is on a quiet street within walking distance to most restaurants, however, there are many other Inns in Newport that I would have preferred to stay at.

Convenient location, but the place could use some TLC. Room was small, but clean. Had a dripping noise on our AC from a unit above. Kept my wife up all night. We stayed across the street in the Astor Room. Management didn't seem very concerned. Doubt we'd stay there again.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a convenient place to stay close to Thame's street with a friendly innkeeper who is quick to respond to needs and who prepares a very good, although limited menu breakfast. It is not your classic B&B-there are 6 properties the innkeeper manages and breakfast is consolidated into 1 area. There is no downstairs living area. The Inn is old, shabby and in need of repair including, painting and general upkeep. It is overpriced but the convenience may be worth it.

I did not like that I had to go downstairs to use the microwave. And no small fridge. But nice room

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay at the Admiral Farragut Inn. It was a little difficult to find since there was no sign. Also, you have to check in at the Cleveland house next-door. That was not indicated anywhere when booking through Expedia. We ended up calling and it all worked out. The person who checked us in, was very helpful and nice and gave us the lay of the land. We had never been to Newport before and were only there for that one night. She gave us some restaurant recommendations that were a short walk away. Our room on the top floor was lovely. It was a nice king bed and a fairly large room with a skylight, pitched roof, and beams. There was also a nice bathroom, although the shower was a bit small, however, my husband and I are both big people. We ordered our breakfast at check-in for the following morning. It was very tasty. I had eggs, sausage and blueberry pancakes. The server offered orange juice to other tables but not to us. You help yourself to coffee, but all they had was regular, and I only drink decaf. They also only have caffeinated tea. it would’ve been nice to have herbal options. Check out is simple; you drop the key off in the basket in the house next-door. The location could not have been better. We were a block away from the historic Touro synagogue and the next block over from Thames Street, where all the shops and restaurants are along the water. We would definitely stay at the Admiral Farragut Inn again.

Amazing experience was treated as if I lived there permanently. Excellent customer even made breakfast for me outside posted hours due to my work schedule while visiting. Walking distance to all the action in historical area of Newport.

This is a fun concept. A quaint B&B in an ideal Newport location. The problem is it’s REALLY old and run down. The toilet was broken and took a ton of force to flush. (They warned us about this as we were checking in.) The window could not be opened because it was covered in plastic. The staff was not unfriendly, but not super helpful either. I think we were supposed to get breakfast each day, but nobody mentioned it after check in. Parking is included, but a nightmare due to limited space.

This Inn is on a quiet street, the proprietor and his staff are wonderful. You are in the middle of everything. I would stay here again.
Michelle, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Fine, not ideal. Several of the staff seemed new (makes sense, as it’s early summer season) and not totally sure what they were doing. I believe some of the other Inns Of Newport properties were nicer than Admiral Farragut, where we stayed, so I would book one of those instead if planning this trip again. Visitors should be aware that bc the properties are converted from homes, no two rooms are alike, nearly all are not ADA accessible and have many steep stairs, not to expect central A/C or coffee maker, fridge, ironing board, etc. in the room. The front desk is in another building and has limited hours. All of this is stated but worth mentioning bc some of the other guests clearly didn’t read that when booking and seemed surprised.

We went there around 12,had to go find someone to check in ,then there was no A/C,he said he would put one in,we came back from lunch,still no A/C, I called the phone number and the girl said your on the list,I asked how long and she kept saying your on the list,not very nice,should have been in the window already. Then we went to go to their complimentary breakfast in the morning which you had to make a reservation, ours was at 8:30,we went at 8:00, told we could'nt eat until our time,the place only had one couple in there. Would not stay there again!

This a great location in Newport. It is such a walkable city and this location is VERY walkable for restaurants, sight-seeing and just exploring! A nice breakfast was included with our reservation and was made to order. No self-serve room with numerous chafing dishes of dried out scrambled eggs, super greasy bacon and toasters or waffle irons that you operate yourself. Our bed was very comfortable and the room charming! The staff is pleasant and very accommodating.
