Great boutique hotel with owners present on site. Tony was there to greet us and send us off when we left. Tony makes sure that the coffee is ready and the breakfast foods are fully stocked. Lots of breakfast items to choose from. Very close to Easton Beach and to the Cliff Walk.

Spacious hotel close to the beach and Newport attractions. Continental breakfast was varied and includes yogurt, fruit, cereal, pastries, etc. Communal microwave in the kitchen was very convenient. As some other reviews have noted the walls are thin so if you are a light sleeper, plan to have the A/C on or bring a noise machine.
