Such a fun hotel! We had a wonderful stay! Spotlessly clean; comfortable room; nourishing and delicious breakfast that was different each morning; convenient location just off of Bellevue Avenue. Highly recommended if you are visiting Newport.

Conveniently located, super clean, stylish, quiet and very comfortable! Peter was a perfectly welcoming host sharing his recommendations and knowledge of the area. Each morning we lingered over a delicious breakfast with quite a few options while he shared his history of Newport along with some fun facts. A memorable trip and we will return! Thank you.

We loved our stay! The staff was so friendly, and we had our room upgraded. The included breakfast was delicious, plus warm chocolate chip cookies and coffee in the afternoon when we arrived. Location is perfect and walkable to restaurants, etc.

The Attwater Hotel was the perfect choice! When we arrived, we were surprised with an upgraded room and a coupon for a bit of a discount!! The room was spacious and super clean and the staff was so helpful and gave us tips on a few sights to see that we otherwise wouldn’t know about. The breakfast was superb and plenty of it. The best part of staying here is the location!! We’re walkers, and it’s basically smack dab in the middle of everything Newport has to offer! We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Our room was so comfortable. Huge king bed with lovely linens, adjacent sitting area with comfy chairs. Lovely helpful host. The breakfast is light but varied and tasty. Location is great. Rooms could use a little more soundproofing. And the location of the hooks in the bathroom just made us laugh. One suited to NBA centers, the other to a 10 year old!

We were here for just one night and it was such a lovely stay in a great location. The room was clean and spacious (with a fireplace!) and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and very helpful, and the decor in the common area and in the room itself was fantastic. The breakfast was perfect…..wonderful options and delicious. Our only regret is that we wished we stayed longer!

We made the right choice when staying at The Attwater in Newport RI. We were upgraded from a king standard room to q king suite. It was beautiful, comfortable and very clean. The room was very spacious. The bed comfortable. We never heard any of the other guests the whole time we were there. They have a breakfast in the morning that was perfect. A really nice outdoor patio on the second floor. You can leave the car and walk to Thames St. About 1/2 mile. We’ll definitely be staying there again,
