Island House Newport

We had a suite and it was new, clean, beautiful and spacious. The location is also very good in the center of town - a 5 to 10 minute walk to most attractions plus there is a free city bus. The parking was a huge bonus. There is no view, but that was not a set back.

All was great

It was close to the Ocean and Restaurants. Bikes were free to use.

Location, very clean

The room was not as expected! The photos are very deceiving! We were three adult women-I honestly thought that the suite had two bedrooms(one king and 2 queens and two baths from photos and description. Given the nightly rate that was a good assumption! But we had one bedroom (king) and one bath so that meant someone had to sleep on the sofa sleeper. The sofa sleeper was terrible!! Most sleeper sofas are usually not great but this was a thin saggy mattress and had a VERY lumpy topper. I actually could not sleep on it because it hurt my back so I slept on a regular sofa that was also in the suite. Make sure you read carefully what you are getting not just photos. It was very clean, front desk people were nice and location was good. Just a very big disappointment one person sleeping on a regular sofa when paying such a premium price. There is a back area to sit but overlooks the parking lot. Other than use of bikes and beach towels there are really no other property amenities. As a side note we did have to ask the front desk to speak to the unit above at 11:00 two nights to have their children stop running around and stomping on the floor. They did get that handled promptly both nights. Also after we realized the room was not as expected at check-in they did offer us an additional king room on another floor at a “discounted rate”. The cost was far more than any of us wanted to add on and the intention was to be together.
