This Inn is located right on Thames Street walkable to many restaurants & shops, the wharf,…read moremansions, etc. The Inn also is home to one of Newport's best restaurants, Chanterelle. The Inn has a small parking lot plus 3 spots on the street for its guests. One car per guest room. That is a definite plus. We stayed in the Harbor House in the Brittany Suite. The price average to $470 per night. I liked the convenience of using a code to get into the front door of the building and also the individual rooms. No key card or key to lose. Our suite was located on the first floor of Harbor House. You walk into the bedroom area and then there is a sitting area complete with a little kitchen area and further back is the bathroom. The closet was extremely small and there was no room on one side of the bed for a nightstand which was inconvenient for the person on that side of the bed. The kitchen area had a cooktop, microwave, little sink and refrigerator. The refrigerator was stocked daily with juice, milk & water. There were utensils & dishes to use, but there was no skillet/pan to use on the cooktop so it wasn't really usable without a pan. Every morning, a yogurt parfait and a fresh baked pastry was dropped at the door for breakfast. Upon check-in, there was a note on our file that I cannot have nuts or seeds. I thought that was wonderful that they remembered, and I reiterated that restriction includes berries like strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries with Anna who greeted us. Unfortunately, every parfait that was delivered had berries in it. I wish they would've just stuck with bananas and blueberries in mine so I wouldn't have to fish out the fruit that I couldn't eat to give to my husband. Also, there were some pastries I couldn't eat because they had nuts or seeds in them. Although it was great that they put a note on my file, the Inn forgot to honor it. When I brought it to their attention about day 5 of my stay, they were very apologetic and said that they would make sure that my food didn't have nuts or seeds. The very next morning I received a parfait with strawberries and a warm almond croissant, which my husband ate along with his because I could not have it. Ugh! I was surprised for the price I paid for a week at this establishment that my request was not honored. I also thought it would be nice if a couple pastries were savory like with eggs. Other than the couple negatives, the location was great, having a spot to park was good, having a refrigerator stocked with beverages was great, having breakfast delivered to your room was great, the larger room was great and finally, housekeeping was good. I would definitely stay here again and I do recommend this Inn for the positive things I've mentioned.

Plenty of space for us and truly could have comfortably slept at least 4 more.

A newly…read morerenovated boutique hotel, this is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for something less massive than a hotel, but more involved than a bed and breakfast. My boyfriend and I decided to make a night of it, and check into this super cute hidden gem, nestled right behind the Newport Art Museum and steps from Bellevue Avenue and the Newport Mansions district. The facility and the rooms are sparkling clean, and don't even get me started about the decor! It is to die for - quirky, fun, and super Instagram-friendly. They are owned by Lark Hotels, a small company, and the bird details are subtly present throughout. My favorite nod to their namesake was an adorable Do Not Disturb sign that hung on the guestroom door reading "Shh.. We're Nesting." It honestly took all my willpower not to steal it! Ahem. We had a great experience with Peter, the Attwater's Front Desk Manager. Not only did he call us prior to check in to see if he could assist with anything we would need, he also upgraded us from the small Queen room that we had booked to the spacious Lark Suite, their largest accommodation. The suite had a gas fireplace, soaking tub, and gorgeous seating area with a dining table and several cozy couches and armchairs. We were super grateful for his hospitality, and even when we had a minor issue with the heating system in the room not lowering, Peter assisted us in the morning and generously offered vouchers for a future night stay. Thank you for your attention to detail and hospitality! I also LOVED the fact that the Attwater offers hot items in their included breakfast. We stay at a lot of small bed and breakfasts as stay and vacations, and one can only have so many cranberry muffins or glazed croissants. They did offer morning pastry standbys, but I was delighted to find a warm and delicious Cheddar Hash Brown Egg Bake and Shredded Brussels Slaw with Hard Boiled Eggs among the offerings. It really took the stay to the next level, and as a couple that stays at several B&Bs and small hotels, it did not go unnoticed! We can't wait for our next chance to visit :)

The individual staff members I interacted with were very nice and helpful, but the property itself…read moreis poorly managed and suffers from a non-stop laundry list of administrative and technical problems. This is absolutely not how you welcome a guest paying $325 a night. The Arrival Disaster: After a grueling 16-hour door-to-door journey on zero sleep, the front desk agent kindly offered an early 9:00 AM check-in, but then walked me across the property and dumped me in the wrong building entirely. After searching down a hallway for a room number that did not exist, the exit door locked behind me, forcing me to hike through the exterior parking lot back to the lobby. It turned out my actual room was just 10 feet from the reception desk the whole time. To top it off, the room was missing a basic "Do Not Disturb" sign, meaning I had to hunt down housekeeping the next morning just to get some uninterrupted rest. (Though the housekeeping staff themselves deserve an 8/10 for cleanliness, as the actual cleaning job was good). Dead Technology: The technology setup in the room was incredibly frustrating. The room phone was completely dead because it wasn't even plugged into the wall. Even after plugging it in, it still did not work and required a tech guy to come down and fix it. Because the phone was dead and the Wi-Fi wouldn't connect on its own, I had to physically walk back to the front desk just to get help. The tech guy ultimately had to manually configure the TV to get the guest Wi-Fi working. While I eventually got my own phone connected using their password and router info, a guest shouldn't have to deal with unplugged equipment and technical support just to get basic internet. Dining & Billing Headaches: We were here for a wedding block arranged by my sister. The breakfast food at Little Clam was good, and the pricing was exactly what you would expect at a hotel restaurant. However, the front desk initially refused to honor the $15-a-day food credit that was explicitly part of our wedding block, insisting their records didn't show it. We had to get the wedding organizer involved to fix it. The Checkout Bait-and-Switch: Departure completely ruined any remaining goodwill. My 2-night reservation was explicitly quoted at $586.08 including taxes and fees. At checkout, I was blindsided by a total charge of $648.24 due to a hidden "urban destination fee" tacked on by the hotel. Sneaking in an extra $62 after booking feels completely deceptive. The people working here are pleasant, but management needs to get their act together. Between the hidden fees and the broken room amenities, the value just isn't there.
