We had a great stay! Unit 18 was very clean and well decorated. The location to restaurants, bars, shopping, and the water is perfect. We will be back!

Accurate listing- great place to stay while visiting Newport and close to Downtown. It was pretty noisy at night with people partying across the street.

Comfortable and well situated, but noisy on weekends

The room is suitably furnished, we were in the middle of everything, and we had no major complaints except for the sounds of street celebrations late into the night on Saturday. A little more sound dampening (such as with full length double pleated blinds) could go a long way toward making it more tolerable on weekend nights.
