We visited to attend the Newport Boat Show and this Inn was in a perfect location, right in town but at the edge so we were not in the thick of traffic and crowds. It is unfortunate this place got some negative reviews - they do a good job and the setting is casual but well done, well maintained, with... more

never had stayed in newport before and was unsure what to expect of the town and accommodations in general. we were able to book this at the last minute. this place is simple and a bit 'tongue in cheek' with jailhouse decorations (e.g., lights in the bathroom had grates around them like in a real jailhouse). this is not the... more

We booked a connecting 2-room, 1 bathroom deal for 2 nights. The rates were reasonable, but the rooms were tiny with little decor and/or style.

We stayed here one night on our way to cape cod. The staff was very helpful and the location convenient. A bit pricey for what you get. The breakfast room was a little crowded but the food was good. more

I really can't say enough about our wonderful experience at the JailHouse Inn (Memorial Day weekend 2009). The staff was great; the rooms were very clean and roomy; the location was perfect (just far enough heavily traveled/louder part of town but a very short walk to everything); the complimentary breakfast was VERY good/good variety for a continental style breakfast. We... more

The staff were extremely helpful with sightseeing information and restaurant recommendations - the rooms were immaculate and breakfast was more that just a continental breakfast. I will definitely stay here again and recommend the same to friends. The price was very reasonable, and, more importantly it was a nice change to receive such great customer service at this price point. more
