“WONDERFUL TRIP TO NEWPORT”

We traveled to Newport with friends for an extended weekend. We have visited this coastal city many times over the past 40 years, but this was our friends’ first visit. We chose the Jailhouse due to proximity to the wharves and restaurants. The price was very reasonable compared to other hotels and inns in the area. We parked our car and walked everywhere except the mansions. We were warmly greeted upon arrival even though we were too early to check in. We were given a parking pass so we could leave our car and begin touring downtown Newport. When we arrived back after 3pm everything was ready for us. We found both rooms to be VERY clean, roomy and comfortable. The continental breakfast was adequate for us with cereals, fresh fruit, toast, english muffins, bagels, pumpkin bread, coffee and juice. The dining area was not large, but there was plenty of seating and no one waiting for a table. We enjoyed lunches and dinners at The Black Pearl (best clam chowder), The Mooring, and White Horse Tavern (across the street from Jailhouse). We visited The Breakers, Marble House, the Cliff Walk, Ocean Drive, and Brenton Point Park. We could have not had better weather on this fourth week in October. It was sunny, mid sixties, with a pleasant on shore breeze.  Our friends will surely visit Newport again.   (Trip Advisor Review)
