Under the bathroom sink, I came across a mousetrap with a long-dead mouse inside, its decomposition suggesting it had been there for quite some time. Scattered around the room were empty whiskey bottles, adding to the sense of neglect and abandonment.

Lovely Resort
28 Jun 2025
We just finished a wonderful stay at this resort and couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a peaceful, quiet atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Newport, this is the perfect spot.About a week before check-in, we received a call from Isabelle, who reminded us that check-in takes place at their sister property, the Bay Voyage Inn, and asked if we had any special requests. Isabelle is truly a gem—she listens carefully and goes out of her way to make your stay special. When we arrived that morning and saw her again, we were thrilled! Our last visit was in the fall, and seeing her felt like reuniting with an old friend—we even hugged like two friends picking up right where we left off. It was such a heartwarming moment.The unit we stayed in was perfect for us. It was clean, spacious, and offered stunning views. It also had the convenience of a washer and dryer right in the unit. Outside, there was a BBQ grill with lawn chairs and a table for outdoor dining. From the second floor master bedroom, there’s a balcony with more seating—perfect for relaxing while watching boats and yachts glide by.We’re already looking forward to our return visit in July, which we’ve already booked.

Tranquility at its best
28 Apr 2025
We very much enjoyed our week At Newport Overlook. We had booked last Christmas week,and received a lovely unit overlooking the water and bridge. Our second visit was over Easter week. I was initially disappointed when we received another unit with no water view, but I actually really liked the unit we were in (unit 1). It was really nice and spacious. No upper deck, but a nice patio off the living room that looked out on a nice lawn and woods. You could walk down the lawn or driveway to see the water and the bridge. The unit was open and spacious with lots of light. The living room furniture was a bit dated, but in excellent condition and very comfortable. The sleep sofa was also very comfortableFirst floor bedroom was very large with two twin beds, bureau, and two double closets. Bathroom was nice and had cabinet with shelves on top and three drawers on bottom. Also double closets when you enter unit. So lots of storage space. There was also full size washer dryer. The kitchen, though small was workable, and I pulled off Easter dinner for six with no problems. There are not a lot of pots or pans, but I knew that before going so I brought a couple of my own and that wasn't a big deal for me. I did find the stove and dishwasher very much in need of replacement, but we made it work.Upstairs is a master loft, i think you would call it. Again large and spacious with King size bed, bureau, comfortable chair with lamp and double closets. Bathroom was niceWe had a couple of problems when first there, but a text to Bri brought a rapid response from Michael in maintenance and both times Michael got everything working. Thank you both!!!Everyone at the front desk was wonderful. We saw someone different each time we popped in. Everyone made us feel very welcome!I found the unit in overall excellent condition and very clean. Sheets were very nice and we had ample towels. The area was very quiet and at the end of a beautiful residential road.Walking to the small downtown area is a nice walk. We had dinner at Jb’s on the water and The Beech restaurants. Both were wonderful. There is a small grocery store and liquor store on the island. A gas station, and should you need one, a hardware store. If you enjoy walking, there are some very beautiful streets to enjoy. I was able to walk 4 miles a day going in different directions.We drove a short ride to Point Judith, Westerly, Watch Hill, and Narragansett. Went over the bridge for the short ride to Newport where we went to the mansions and strolled the cliff walk. Had dinner at Tickets which i highly recommend.We had such a nice time, I hated to leave at the end of the week. I just loved Jamestown and look forward to going there again . Thank you to all the staff, especially Bri and Michael. We really appreciated your help!

The worst experience I’ve ever had traveling
26 Mar 2025
Booked a week before my trip, didn’t give me a heads up until an hour before check in that they were over booked and transferred us to a different hotel with 0 amenities without telling us while also charging me already. This is also causing me to spend even more money on eating out every day as well as causing me to waste my groceries I had bought in preparation to the stay. (Side note an anonymous source told me this hotel overbooks on purpose as well)

We’re terribly sorry to learn about your canceled reservation. While we strive to accommodate all of our guests, unfortunately, sometimes we do fall short. When we do, we try to make it right. It is our goal to resolve this matter so that it does not happen again. We sincerely apologize.

The staff was very friendly and very accommodating to our request. It was a nice time to visit Newport that had so many beautiful things to do during the holidays. The mansion tour was fun and the convenience to everything was great.
