Excellent all around

Location is excellent and the inn offers parking at the back of Newbury street. Rooms are well appointed even if small (you’re in a historic building in prime location) Staff is excellent and super accommodating. We will absolutely be returning!

Sarah

Traveled with partner
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was incredible, very friendly and accommodating. Our room was fine, bed was more comfortable than most. I am rating it a three for two main reasons: our room was VERY WARM, we had the thermostat set to 62 or off the whole time and our room didn’t go below 70 the entire time but felt much warmer like upper 70s. It was hard to sleep for us as we like a cold room. The second reason is just bad luck but the elevator was broken. We stayed four days and it was not repaired. The staff offered to help with our bags but taking the stairs to the fourth floor multiple times a day was not only tiring but very claustrophobic as the stairs are windy and very small and lopsided. Literally lopsided you can see them slanting, which is comical but would’ve been nice to at least have the option of taking the elevator. For that reason I would also not recommend to the elderly or not able-bodied.

The NEWBURY Guest House offers friendly and efficient customer service, comfortable rooms with nice amenities and is located close to multiple transportation, dining and shopping options. It is a great value! One important caveat is that the elevator was out of service during my stay and while helpful staff were available to carry bags, mobility challenged guests might have difficulty navigating the stairs.
