    We stayed 4 nights recently with our dog and could not have been much happier. The room was up-to-date and clean with all the amenities we expected. I asked for the room to be cleaned early each day and they accommodated my request. There is a relatively large area in the back where I was able to walk our dog each morning and evening. The $15 daily meal allowance was used twice at the Helmway for breakfast that turned out to be quite good. We will be back.

    The Pell was great! It's away from the "main drag", which offers a little more quiet. However, we were able to be in the heart of Newport with a quick Uber. The hotel room was spacious and clean. There was a bar/restaurant that was perfect for happy hour and brunch. The staff was polite and helpful. Convenient check-in/out. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely return.

    We reached out to their corporate, they have no authority over individual hotels. Totally got screwed on this stay.

    My wife and her sister had a nice stay at this hotel, however the general manager Erik Berlied is simply awful to work with. My and her sister don't smoke. The morning of their departure they went and ate breakfast, proceeded to check out. For whatever reason they checked out at 9:07, we're not handed a receipt from their stay. Erik emailed this bill later on in the day where they received a $500 charge. Added to the bill. As she reviewed the bill she had immediately called the hotel, spoke with Erik, where he essentially threatened her saying"it wouldn't be good for her if she came back to the Pell." Erik, explained he can't trust people's credibility due to people lying to him in the past. Throughout about 15 calls elevating this case to the Hyatt corporate offices. We were not able to receive the money Erik stole from us. Erik had told me that he spoke with the housekeeping, they told him there was no additional cleaning required in the room after my wife's stay. I had spoke with him, and had explained the sensors he has in the room should be checked and maintained regularly. In the industry I work we have quarterly checks for equipment. He stated to me he has no knowledge of the system needing such checks. As I have stated above my wife and her sister don't smoke, don't vape. This charge was a fraudulent and really a dis-service, the hotel refuses to right the wrong of. I wouldn't recommend anyone stay at this hotel. The amount of dishonesty is amazing. That's the worst trip of their life's. Stay a way.

    I had a great 2 night stay at the end of June 2023. They're still finishing up the remodel around the hotel, including the restaurant and pool. While there were a couple minor inconveniences, it was still a great stay and this place has a ton of potential. I should also mention there is NOT an elevator, so if that's needed be sure to call and request a first floor room; there's only two floors I believe. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything is brand new and clean in the hotel. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet; I never heard neighbors, slamming doors, etc. Also, the location itself is quiet. You're just 2 miles from the hustle and bustle of Newport but it's a calm area surrounding the hotel. At checkout they inquired about the stay and asked for feedback as they're still trying to workout the kinks of opening. I will definitely stay here again.

    Room service is punctual. Rooms are cozy, but the walls are thin. You can hear people moving around throughout the day.

    Travel time to downtown Newport was no more than 15 minutes with traffic, so very convenient as well.

Queen Anne's was exactly that for us. We had about 75 guests, and were comfortable, but cozy. Here are some words that come to mind when I think of the space: chic, vintage, intentional, beautiful, versatile and lovely. Amanda, the owner, was great from the start. Patient, kind and helpful. Her experience was evident throughout our entire planning process. She worked with us to up to the very end, easing our little anxieties and assisting us with whatever we needed. The staff at Queen Anne's was amazing! We were so pleased with the above and beyond service. A room flip was needed after the ceremony, for the reception. It was done in a timely, efficient fashion, and for that, we (and our guests), were so grateful. Food was exactly what we expected- and delicious. We opted for food stations, rather than a formal sit-down dinner. Appetizer platters, salad, sliders and pizza. Everything was fantastic. No complaints from us or our guests. We had a blast! Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. Queen Anne's and Amanda have so much to do with our unforgettable experience! 15/10 recommend. P.S. Photos by Mat & Ash Photography (the best)

It perfected suited our smaller wedding, about 50 guests in all (Not including our musical quartet), and never felt rushed, cramped, or inconvenienced. The food was delicious, served timely to everyone with no issues. But the chandelier was the beautiful centerpiece highlighting the warm glow for an evening ceremony. Amanda was always available for any questions and there on the event day to ensure it started without a hitch. Would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a romantic and enchanting spot in Newport.

I don't know if there were any mix ups or mistakes as the day progressed, but what I saw and experienced was wonderful. After leaving the church, there were a couple of hours before the reception. We were told to head to the Safari Room at Ocean Cliff, which was wonderfully receptive to the amount of people that showed up! The espresso Martini's were awesome! The cocktail hour then opened up and was just as delicious and beautiful. The bride and groom both had specialty drinks. The hor'dourves were delicious, and the view spectacular! Dinner was just as wonderful, although my filet mignon was a bit overcooked to my liking. However, it was very good and cut like butter. There were quite a few people at this wedding, but the dance floor was giant and nobody was dancing on top of each other! The DJ was awesome (wish I got his name), and kept the dance floor busy all night. There were plenty of servers, everyone was friendly and helpful. The wedding party and family members had room at the Ocean Cliff, and had nothing but good things to say. If you have a chance to go to or host an event at the Ocean Cliff, I don't think you'd be disappointed!!

This goes for the NYYC Harbor Court station in Newport, RI. Our Commodore was having his "Commodore Cruise" in New England and the closing dinner was to be at Harbor Court. Now, with COVID there was a limit on guests amd total crowd for a dinner. We had over 100 cruising ew England and over 80 were due for the final dinner. Add Henri the hurricane to the mix and we had some challenges for the dinner. We had cocktails on the front lawn. Then, the NYYC set is up outside in the motor court area for dinner. This allowed us to get our entire group together. Weather was perfect. Calm Before the storm as they say. We even had the opportunity to watch the clubs "colors" ceremony when they retreat the flag each evening prior to sunset. Now getting to the food and service. With COVID it is especially hard to find amd keep good servers. We struggle with that at our club. It here at the NYYC. First they had plenty of staff. A welcome reprise from those businesses who can't seem to ramp staff back up. Even more impressive, their staff are trained very well. Women first, serve from left, remove from Right etc... I was thoroughly impressed that during COVID, and the night before a major hurricane, the NYYC was able to host the dinner for the StFYC and do so at such a best-of-class level. If you have a chance to visit Harbor Court, don't miss it!
