Newport Harbor Island Inn is shabby both inside & outside. Rooms & hallways were dark with peeling wallpaper, signs of mold in the bathroom, dirty carpets and walls & outdated furniture. Photos on their website must have been taken years ago. After we checked in we found out they are totally remodeling the property which should have been done quite a while ago.

Hotel's Favorite
We were sailing in the area and wanted to stop for a couple nights in Newport. Gurney’s was amazing! From Shawn and Cole at the dock who helped us find a slip to Eric and Luke at the front desk to David the GM of the resort for five years — they were so welcoming and friendly and responsive! Super nice property. Highlights were the views of the sailboat races in the Narragansett, walking to town for shopping and dinner — it’s a great location. They have bikes too. They also have live music at the weekends. Crispy chicken sandwich by the pool is delicious and they make excellent lattes at the coffee shop. We had a great room with a pretty view. Thank you Gurney’s! 👍👍

I have been visiting Newport since 2005 and I will only stay at this hotel! Everything was wonderful . Very clean, great food, friendly staff and a relaxing pool. The shuttle to the wharf runs on the half hour and is extremely convenient.

Very clean facility, room was spotless. Staff very accommodating. Two observations 1 the ceiling is badly stained above the reception desk, not a good 1st impression. 2 rm 3014 was great but the tub design is dangerous, old school design that needs updating.

The hotel is in a nice location with beautiful harbor views, including from our room. The outside dining, firepit area and back grounds are lovely. I especially love the Adirondack chairs down at the harbor's edge. The staff was welcoming. That said, however, the property needed a good makeover. It was clean, but sated and a little worn around the edges...

This was a very special trip to Newport for two adult friends who live in different parts of the country and don't get together often. We wanted the full benefit of being at a resort in Newport, RI on the water. Going for such an experience came with a price…$1,111 per night (before resort fees). The view was spectacular, but the resort wasn’t worth it. As others have mentioned the resort will be shut down for renovations Nov-May. We were fortunate (or so we were told) to get one of the two rooms that have already been renovated. Room- The look of the room was beautiful. If this is the style that will be used for the entire resort it will be something to behold! The feel and function of the room was not good at all. The new room had motion sensor lights at the entrance to the room and the bathroom. The lights were going on by themselves constantly as we moved about the room and coming in and out from the balcony. This was very disruptive. Hotel rooms should not have motion sensor lights. Having to contact the front desk (3 times) for engineering to turn them off was also disruptive. It took a couple of days to get them turned off. Although the engineering team was great! From a service perspective they were the best at the resort. The motion sensors in the other renovated room had already been turned off due to complaints. The water pressure in the shower was so weak it was difficult getting conditioner out of our hair (a big problem for this curly girl). The poor shower quality and motion sensors are enough to cross this off our list as a resort to ever come back to again. One would expect an invigorating shower at this price point. We were told that all the rooms will have weak shower pressure after the renovation in order to ‘conserve water’. Also, the ceiling in the shower needed repair. The size of the vanity in the shower does allow for two people to get ready at the same time, but there was only one outlet on one side of the vanity. There should be an outlet on either side of the vanity. Also, the only place to charge phones is near the bed. In a room this size there should be other outlets to charge cell phones. The planter on the balcony was filled with water, bugs and cigarette butts. That should have been cleaned before we arrived. There was a hotel service road that butted up to the room. There was always a lot of noise from traffic, people walking by with barking dogs, employees coming to and from work. There was also noise from the garbage that is right at the end. For this type of room, we expected more peace to enjoy the beautiful water view on the balcony that we were paying a hefty price for. Food- The food at the resort was very good! Room service was delivered in a timely manner by friendly staff. All restaurant orders include a 4% service charge and no one could tell us what that was for. It wasn’t for the servers…gratuity still needed to be added. Service- Maid service should be daily at this price point. We shouldn’t have had to ask to have our garbage emptied. Also, the maid never replaced the coffee cups. I had to walk to the restaurant to ask for coffee mugs so we could make coffee in the morning. I had called the front desk and asked for mugs to be delivered. They never came. In general, the front desk staff we came in contact with after check in acted like they couldn’t be bothered. The shuttle service to the wharf was great! The Spa was also a pleasant experience. Ambiance- I have never seen so many dogs at a resort before. It was like being at a dog park. Saturday night it was impossible to enjoy our balcony because the guest two decks down had her dog out on her balcony and it was barking at everything that went by so we had to come inside. In general, there were too many dogs at this resort. We believe that we overpaid for what we experienced. We should not have had to pay full price to test a prototype of a room and deal with all the issues that were present in and around this room. There is so much potential here that can be built on, but it was way over priced for what we experienced. We will be back in Newport but not to this resort.…

This was a very lovely place. My girlfriend and I stayed while we attended the Newport Folk Festival. They provided a ferry service to and from the venue. Everything was very clean and well kept. The workers were very pleasant as well. Overall, I highly recommend staying here if you'd like a fancier stay in Newport.
