First of all the rooms were generally nice. Only thing is most of the rooms looked like they were missing furniture. And shutting the doors was difficult - made lots of noise. Location is excellent and Atlantic Beach Club across the street is the best place to eat - along with Flos Clab Shack and Kjs. You must eat at these places.
THe hotel does not have room service and their "breakfast" in the morning is not much: waffles, cereal, juice, muffices, and a few other bits.
Main problems were:
The staff at the Comfort Inn is completely incompetent.
From the beginning when I first booked them for my wedding block there was nothing but problems. When my guests would call to book a room- they were told there was no block. Then they would give different rates than we had contracted with them.
Guests check in days and check out days where wrong. When I called to confirm my reservation- they did NOT have me booked for my wedding night (had received email when first booked that i was booked on that night)- IMAGINE if coming back on oyour wedding night you had no room! Make sure to confirm your reservation- they have difficulty performing normal tasks !!
Half way through our stay - the keys stoped working and some guests even after given the "correct keys" still had problems. My now husband was locked out of his room and hour before our ceremony. They told him it was cause one of their employees made the keys in advance!
Next was they then checked in our guests under the wrong names (mistook George for Paul) so when Paul tried to check in he was told he was essentially out of luck. We then booked the conference room for the weekend and after we misplaced the key it took them several times to give us the correct one. The last straw was when we made bags with food,etc for our guests - half of our guests did not receive them. Either the staff does not know how to follow directions (which they don't) or they welcomed themselves to the food,etc. After my stay I went to the manager CATHY- she told me I had not made enough bags. I had requested 2 days prior a list of my guests and made MORE then enough bags. She then sass mouthed me back.
In general if your looking for a hotel in a great location with excellent food in the area- its fine. BUT beware of the HORRIBLE staff and manager. Wouldnt give them my business if my life depended on it. I repeat- completely incompetent.

After searching for a quick get away place to stay on Newport, we decided just to "wing it" and show up. The Comfort Inn in Middletown is brand new and was a great place to stay, fantastic location, very clean, great rates (partially because the pool wasn't open) (who needs the pool when you can walk to one beach and another is a 3 minute drive).
Wonderful complimentary breakfast.

Highly reccomend
