    Definitely the nicest inn to stay at out of all the inns on Bellevue! The room with the jacuzzi is very much worth it!! Such a beautiful old inn. Parking is also free when you stay here which is extremely rare when you stay at a hotel/inn in Newport. Must try their little coffee shop in the main inn, every drink and food item there is delicious and homemade.

    My husband and I stayed Sun-Wed in October. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was great and walkable to everything. Also, a very quiet street. We had free parking. The breakfast was so delicious and all the pastries were house made. A different breakfast everyday. 2 times available:8:30/9:30. It was a beautiful set table and sit down style breakfast. The breakfast was very accommodating to your specific needs if expressed to them. The happy hour was a nice benefit. They served red or white wine, water, cheese, meats, olives, artichokes, and crackers. Different cheeses served daily. Always a coffee maker out for coffee and tea. Water and sparkling water supplied in your room. In the evening there were homemade chocolate chip cookies. All delicious! The room we had was small, but it was fine. I did not give it 5 stars for the reason of some of the furniture in the room seemed in poor cosmetic shape and the wall to wall carpet in our room and halls seemed stained and dirty. We did enjoy our stay overall.

    Communication Cleanliness Help Someone at the front desk Better doors and locks. Paid over $400 for a one night stay. Only to come into the room and see all of this. Remotes in various hidden locations. Hot tub starts up whenever it wants. (It started the air 3 times while not in use) the cheap wood around it was falling off. Broken steam shower. Filthy toilet & sink. Nobody to be found at front desk 3 times. Back door doesnt work. Door to our room didnt fit the frame, you could see over and under it. Breakfast was decent enough, though they forgot to bring me a coffee (it was only my wife and i) my wife ordered a cranberry juice and she got orange juice. (Again it was only us) a plate on my place setting was stuck to it because it was dirty from something. The next day someone claiming to be the former owner said he was embarrassed and had another person on the phone to complain to. I have a feeling he WAS the actual owner. Said they sent a return email to me. They did not. Said they would call me and "make it right" . They did not. If you pay $400+ for a room at the very least it should be clean. They made an excuse that a maintenance man used the bathroom ... not buying it. Even if it were, you dont check the room prior to the one couple checking in at 2pm?!?!?

    My husband and I choose a bed and breakfast in a new city each year to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This year was Newport, Rhode Island and the absolutely loved our stay at Hydrangea House Inn. Breakfasts were delicious (I forgot to get a photo all three mornings!), wine and cheese happy hour each day at 4pm, room was clean and quite charming, shower and tub were amazing and so relaxing! Not sure who the owners were, as we encountered several different people, but all were friendly. Great location. Everything in Newport was pretty close. We were able to walk to many places. There is a lovely winery about 10 minutes away if you want to enjoy a glass of wine, snack, and beautiful scenery. I would definitely recommend this bed and breakfast if you're spending some time in Newport.

    I cannot say enough good things about this fantastic B&B in Newport. I am more of a chain hotel person than a B&B person, but my experience at the Hydrangea House was incredible. The hotel is conveniently located and near at lot of great Newport restaurants and sights. They have parking behind the inn which is super convenient. We stayed in the Oak Suite and it was amazing. So romantic! A huge room with our own private entrance. Comfy king sized bed and mini fridge. Bathroom was ginormous with shower/sauna and whirpool tub. Staff was super friendly and the food was sooo good. Breakfast was incredible. Food is clearly cooked with love and made to order. I also really enjoyed the wine and cheese in the afternoons and had a great time sitting in the parlor and enjoying the happy hour. We will definitely be returning and are looking forward to our next stay!

    My fiancé and I stayed here this past weekend and absolutely loved it! The staff is professional, hospitable, and kind, and the Inn itself is clean and very well done up! The room design is consistent with the rest of the Inn, in a Victorian style. There are fireplaces in the room which make it really cozy! The Inn had delicious breakfast complete with coffee/juice, pastries, mains, and fruit. They were very accommodating of dietary restrictions. They also have a daily evening wine and cheese happy hour which was such a nice perk! Overall loved the cozy, familial, clean ambience of this place and would definitely stay here again.

    We really enjoyed our recent stay at Hydrangea house. The room we stayed in (Carrie in Paris) was clean, ornate, and equipped with the fluffiest robes! Overall, the nightly rate was a bit pricy in my opinion, however they do include an AMAZING breakfast as well as nightly wine and cheese, which helped justify the hefty price tag. The hotel is conveniently located to downtown and across the street from a roof top bar. This is a great option if you're considering a stay here in Newport!

    My husband and I stayed here over a cold February weekend. As soon as we arrived we were offered an upgrade from the room we had reserved, as it was off season and not fully rented. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. We upgraded to the Chesterfield which was fabulous. It had an amazing shower and jacuzzi, as well as a fireplace. The location was perfect for walking around Newport and despite the cold we actually walked the cliff walk. I took some photos which are attached the rooms were extremely clean and well appointed. I only wish I took pictures of the delicious gourmet breakfast! We will definitely be back. It was like going on vacation even though we were only 30 minutes from home.

    I would like to say thank you to Paul & his Crew for there warm hospitality during our stay at hydrangea House. When we first arrived he was very accommodating and nice explaining the in's and outs of Newport. My Wife explained to him She had a food allergy and he spoke to the chef and they were able to make arrangements for the morning breakfast's. We had the Room in the CourtYard, Nice and Secluded.

Kathy at the concierge was incredibly accommodating and welcoming right from the start, making us feel comfortable and taken care of. At the bar, Olivia was wonderful pouring and guiding us through the wines, while Maurice was the true star of the show. His cocktails were exceptional--thoughtfully crafted, perfectly balanced, and clearly made by someone who takes real pride in their craft. Emmett also stood out as someone who truly understands hospitality--polished, attentive, and naturally great with guests. Even without staying overnight, the experience alone makes The Brenton worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back. Next time for an overnight stay!

We had a few drinks. It's quiet so you can hear your friends conversations. I love going here. In the summer they have a rooftop deck that has more great views of the harbor and nice place to get a drink. The staff is always so nice here. This is my hidden gem location. I almost did not want to post to let my secret out.

    This review is for the hotel, not the restaurant (which I would give five stars without…read morehesitation). We stayed here for our anniversary in October. Based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews and how beautiful the property looked online, we were genuinely excited to spend a couple of nights here. Unfortunately, for nearly $1,000 per night, the experience fell well short of expectations. At check-in, the concierge seemed completely uninterested. There was no welcome, no overview of the hotel, and no helpful information offered- it genuinely felt like we were inconveniencing her just by being there. We've stayed at other hotels in a similar price range, where the service is consistently warm, attentive, and polished, so this was especially disappointing. The valet was far more welcoming and professional than the front desk. After a short walk around town, we returned to the hotel and weren't acknowledged at all, the concierge kept her head down on her phone. I can appreciate a no-fuss stay where guests aren't overbothered, but for the price point and the fact that this was a special anniversary trip, being completely ignored wasn't what we expected. A simple greeting or acknowledgment would have gone a long way. The hotel itself is very pretty. The furnishings are lovely, and the room was nice and comfortable. The views were nothing particularly special; it appears the ocean-facing side is reserved for a conference space. Still, we did enjoy the room. Like many Newport hotels, valet parking is the only option and comes with a daily fee. The valet team was excellent- friendly, accommodating, and consistent throughout our stay. The restaurant deserves special mention: the staff was outstanding, and the food was excellent. Truly a five-star experience there- would def go back to dine with them. The location is also a positive, close enough to everything without being directly on the busy street. However, overall, we wouldn't choose to stay here again at this price point. Upon checkout, we noticed a charming bar/library space that we didn't even realize was available to guests as no one mentioned it to us during check-in. A beautiful hotel is wonderful, but to be considered luxury, the service needs to match the setting. Unfortunately, that piece was missing for us. If we wanted an experience that anyone could offer, we could have gone anywhere else, for much less.

It's a great spot for a drink especially in the summer time. Our recent visit on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, was not great. Despite it being a warm summer evening around 8 PM on a Wednesday, we were turned away because one person in our party wore a t-shirt instead of a collared shirt. For a midweek outing in August, that felt unnecessarily rigid and to be honest a little too pretentious. Although we can understand enforcing dress codes on weekend nights this seemed out of touch. We ended up at Thames Street Kitchen and Audette instead, both of which did not have strict dress codes. The Studio Bar at the Gardiner House still makes great cocktails, but the hospitality needs to match.

We parked in the front and unloaded the cars easily. We did not use valet, the Marriott lot was $48 a night. Walking to the lot next door took about 2 minutes. The lobby is spacious, clean and very pretty. There's a water machine with flavored waters. Front desk staff are very professional and friendly. Valet guys are all nice and open the doors for you 98% of the time. With the daily destination fee, you also get 2 free tickets per room to the sailing museum or a vineyard 15 mins away (Sailing museum is free on Wednesdays). Had I known the museum was free Wednesdays, I would have chose the vineyard tickets instead. You also get $20 per room to use at the bar/restaurants as well as 2 bikes to rent. We checked into connecting balcony rooms. The rooms were clean but the balcony doors were hard to open. You have to pull it back really hard before unlocking it. The beds were comfortable. There are no microwaves but I called in to request one for the room. The first night I went to skiff bar to order some food and use our 2 $20 food credits. I ordered oysters and coconut shrimp. The oyster appetizer was terrible... the oysters flesh was tiny, totally not worth it. The next morning we had the hotel buffet for $32 a head. Omelet station was good. Standard breakfast items, view was good. We really only ate there for the view. Our waitress was barely around. Hotel is at a great location. Very close to the wharf and also right across from a small aquarium. The balcony was a nice place to chill, overall the hotel wasn't crowded. It's also very safe because you need to swipe a keycard to get to the hotel rooms. Best part of staying here was a pool table in the skiff bar. While waiting for my food, I just played two games by myself. I usually stay at Hiltons but I chose this Marriott because of the location and views. Glad I made this decision. I would definitely pick this hotel again should I decide to visit Rhode Island again!

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 :)

I loved the location of this hotel and the clean lines of the common spaces and rooms. However the $45 valet parking fee is ridiculous at the end of the season (10/28). Offer a self service option for half that - but, oh, wait, UPP owns the hotel lot too, as well as pretty much all parking in Newport.

If you are not one of the lucky three that gets a spot in the side lot you have to park in the garage and the garage is tight. Tight tight, tighter than tight, as tight as you can get. Put it this way, it took me about 15 minutes to safely pull into a space in absolute fear I was going to hit a pole or the car parked next to me. When it was time to pull out, torture, luckily someone who worked here saw me struggling and he offered to get in and do it for me. Even for him, it took multiple attempts to steer clear of any objects. It's a real pain in the ass I can't sugar coat it. Next negative, the toilet in my room wouldn't flush. That was frustrating and when I told the front desk attendant she wasn't' surprised so this must be a thing. Also, whenever I walked into my bedroom I got a wet sock, there was a leak of some sort I think it may have been coming from the air conditioner unit up above but I can't be too sure. Next negative, the outlets are crappy, anything I plugged in was super loose I really had to jam it in there and that was the case with every outlet, some were unusable because of how loose they were. Lastly, the shower was scalding hot, scalding. I adjusted the temperature but no matter which way I turned it was different levels of scalding. I had to let the shower run for five minutes before I could get in there and I like a hot shower. This temperature was hospital burn status. Okay the real last thing, no elevator. I had to lug up two flights of stairs with my big ass suitcase but is it Mill Street Inn's fault that I packed a weeks worth of stuff for one night or is that a me problem? As I'm mentioning all these negatives I'm wondering if 4 stars is appropriate but I'm sticking with it and I'll tell you why. The room was beautiful and enormous. I stayed in a suite with a dining room table and chairs, a couch, coffee table, multiple arm chairs, huge bed with the most comfortable pillows I have ever experienced in my entire life. Dreamy I tell you, like melting in but not too much, just perfect. The bathroom vanity counter was enormous. I had so much room to put out all of my things, much appreciated. The location could not have been better. One block away from the main street, the easiest walk to everywhere. Also tucked away in a beautiful neighborhood so it was safe, cozy and quiet. I walked back from a night out by myself and felt extremely safe doing so. The lobby is beautiful, they had complimentary sangria and complimentary water with lemons and limes. They had every board game you could imagine, I loved that. There was a fitness center with canned electrolyte infused waters, they had a beautiful roof top which I had entirely to myself both times I went up there. Gorgeous views of the neighborhood and the water. I loved my time up there it was serene and relaxing with tons of tables and chairs for lounging. They had complimentary breakfast served to your door in the morning. The night before you pick and choose what you want from each category and there was plenty to choose from. I ordered an organic cold brew, two hard boiled eggs, granola, and something else, anyways everything came to the door at the exact minute I asked for it to be delivered and it was delicious. Also, they give you a welcome bag with snacks when you arrive! There were pretzels, a massive bag of popcorn and sea salt caramels. I thought that was such a special touch. Anyways, looking back there were a lot of annoyances that could have aggravated me but there were so many good things about my stay that the good overshadowed the bad and I would 100% stay here again.
