There was no one at the front desk when we arrived, our key was in an envelope taped to the front door. The first room we were in had no heat, but they did move us to another room that had heat.

The Inn is actually a motel. While the room and bathroom are dated, they are both very clean. Beds were comfortable and bed/bath linens were clean and stain free. The room we had also had a sitting room with a separate door so the room was spacious for 3 adults. Staff was very helpful.

I travel to Middletown RI at least once a month. I drove passed the Bay WIllows on one of these trips and thought it was a cute little side of the road motle. It looked clean and I like to support family run businesses. I booked the motel through Expedia and it was by no means a cheap place to stay. Less then the Newport motels but about the average […] for a stay in Middletown. When we checked in the room had a bit of a musty smell and all of the windows were open to air it out. The door wouldn't shut unless we put the deadbolt on-it was very warped. Upon check in I had to remind the woman at the desk that we were supposed to get vouchers for breakfast. She said I always forget to give those. I will say breakfast at the Cornucopia where the vouchers were to was very nice. The next day we were out for the day and when we returned our beds were not made and the wet towels were still on the bathroom floor. We were a bit disturbed but figured maybe there had been an emergency and figured we would get towels in the morning before checkout. Office did not open till 9:40 so no time to ge towels before checking out. All the guests packing their cars were annoyed. The girl at the desk said that there is only maid service every other day. We should have been told that upon check in so we could have asked for more towels. I don't mind making my own bed if I were told ahead, but to be given 2 towels for 2 nights is ridiculous. I won't stay here on my next trip to Middletown. Read more

Breakfast was off site......didn't even bother going. Shower didn't work good. Looked quaint but just turned out to be old.

The accommodations were very nice and clean. Quiet surroundings, 5 minutes from the New Port waterfront.

The bathroom had little bit of running water and no intercontinental breakfast as they advertize, instead they gave us coupon to some weird place down the street, but there'sa dunkin donut very close...

I mean, what everyone else has been reviewing was right: you get what you pay for, but this was NOT NEARLY as bad as I thought it would be. In fact it was nothing but pleasant. My college friends and I decided to do Newport for Labor Day Weekend, and this being the only thing available, we got a room here. With a website that uses "color tv and free […] bikes" as a selling point, we were honestly thinking we were getting ourselves into trouble here. But the place was great!! The staff was friendly, check-in and -out were simple, and the rooms were super clean and HUGE! I'm not sure if all are like this, but we had a front deck, a living room with a pull-out couch, and two full beds. I'm used to staying in hostels abroad and dirt cheap hotels, being on a college girl's budget, so maybe that's why I have such great things to say about this place. Definitely fine for a weekend, definitely no Ritz Carlton. Hope this helps :) Read more

I've stayed at this motel before. It is a very small old facility. It appears this time that more renovations have been completed (new carpeting & paint). It is very convenient to Newport and the price speaks for itself. If you are looking for more than basic necessities - look somewhere else

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is clean and quiet although it is situated close to a major road in Middletown, RI. With some refurbishing (doors, bathroom fixtures & shower) hotel could be a really good place to stay. Staff was very nice. Breakfast was around the corner at a local cafe that has an agreement with them. There is no wi-fi which is hard to believe nowadays. For […] the price, it served its purpose.

Price is cheap so the room was cheap. Bathroom was dirty.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This building reflects a 1950 architectural design and atmosphere. Let me stress, this hotel is not the trendy "retro", but more like the twilight zone. It looked like a portion of the hotel had full time residence, with clothing drying on chairs in front of their rooms. Our room included an older TV with no remote control. A feeling that bacteria and […] microscopic organisms were scattered about everywhere in our room. To put it simply, we felt like we were staying in a petrie dish. Read more

Overrated Not- 21st century motel. what more can I say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

If you don't mind an old house smell, you can stay in this hotel. I didn't find it comfortable since there were no chairs and table to sit, and there was a tiny 30 x 30 shower, the beds were pretty old too.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the room details stated a baloncy was more like a front porch

Nice reception by checking clerk. Helpful with directions. Room clock was broken. No remote in room. Various broken iTMS. Bureau handle missing bathroom window supported by broken metal piece. Not noisy. Ac was old but worked avoid this motel

Quiet, accommodated my late check in

The room was very adorable and comfortable and the perfect price for us! It was also in a great location, only a few miles from Newport!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is our second visit. We were a bit disappointed by the room we had in May. No AC, tiny bathroom, room a bit cramped. This room was a very pleasant surprise. Quite comfortable, with a nice roomy bathroom with big shower. Quiet. The little place for breakfast (right around the corner) is very friendly and nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is an old property but the room was clean, the sheets and towels were fine and there was a small microwave and refrigerator. The TV was old but we weren't in Newport to watch TV. The shower had great pressure and plenty of hot water. No pool, no free breakfast or coffee bar but for the price it was a very satisfactory place to spend a night or […] two. Read more

The staff is very friendly. The hotel is fine, nothing fancy. All the other hotels required a two night minimum and we only needed one night.

Genuine Expedia guest review

When my fiancee and I were first given a room, we found it to have two twin beds, both of which were not made up. This was contrary to the clean king size bed I had requested. A quick trip to the front desk gave us a new room, with a clean king sized bed. I walked into the bathroom, and almost slipped. There was water on the floor. I didn't see an […] obvious source, but there was always water on the floor. the deadbolt lock on the door didn't work. only one of the lights worked, and the room had a heavy odor of cigarette smoke. And there was only one set of towels. We were able to get some odor removing spray from the front desk, and they did fix the light and provide us with a second set of towels. The curtains were cheap and didn't close easily, and the heating/AC unit was from the 80s. probably still functional, but really old. The bathroom sink didn't even have a stopper in it The only saving grace for this hotel was the staff. The maid service were nice, the front desk people were personable and helpful. Any issues we brought to their attention they worked to resolve when they could. I could not have asked for more. There was also a fridge and microwave, which was an added plus. Yes, this was a hotel on the cheaper side of the spectrum, but for the price we paid for two nights, I expected better, Read more

The hotel was not what I expected based on the description and photographs available to me. While the staff was friendly and the room was clean, the overall atmosphere left something to be desired. The hotel looked like the small motel depicted in every scary movie ever made. Our door to the room did not stay closed without locking the deadbolt and […] there were no blinds on the bathroom window, not to mention the scratch marks on the molding around the bathroom door. The shower was very small and the water never really got hot, more like warmish. The hotel gave off an overall very sketchy, creepy vibe and people we went out with were actually nervous about leaving us there alone. We had two rooms,but actually only slept in one as we were nervous about being alone in the rooms. Read more

Room smelled like an ash tray.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The carpet had huge dark stains (size of salad plates). The room smelled of mold and mildew. The bathroom was awful and had a hole the size of a fist through the bathroom door I would definitely not recommend this place. Awful. Nothing else was available because of the boat show.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This motel, although convenient to everything, was not a top quality place by any means. There was no heat, no hot water, no bath tub. It was more like camping. Would not stay there again.

I visited Newport, RI along with my family from 09/15-09/17/11, we came up from Miami, Fl for my daughter's graduation from ODS at the Naval Complex in Newport. The property is in a perfect location, one can get to Newport in 5-10 minutes or visit Portsmouth and Bristol and arrive in 15-20 minutes. The Inn staff was cordial and accomodating. The comfort […] and cleanliness at the property were above average, the price for the room is the BEST in this area. A suggestion I would make is for the owner to begin replacing all carpeting in the rooms which would help in diminishing "stale odor" in the rooms. I would recommend this property for anyone who wants a solid location and good value for their money, I enjoyed the nostalgic feel of the property as well. I highly recommend the following places for dining: - Cornucopia for breakfast, Mark the owner makes just abouth everything from scratch and his selections were all delicious - Anthony's Seafood for lunch or dinner, the food is excellent and FRESH, the New England Clam Chowder and Portugese Fish Chowder are exceptional as is the Tuna, Lobster. - Carmella's Pizza, located in Portsmouth is a MUST, their pizza, meatballs and garlic bread is excellent!

Rather than spend a fortune right in Newport, this was a very adequate option - especially price wise!!. Hotel was clean - not modern but hey - it was quite adequate for doing what we needed - a place to spend the night!! We were very satisfied. The staff was very nice!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice staff....but the motel is in desperate need of updating. We had 2 rooms, one smelled of mold and one of moth balls....I don't know which was worst.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is not an Inn, it's a motel, yet it's priced as a hotel. Room was clean, but the smell was not good at all.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was a charming little roadside motel. It had the lowest price and better reviews then many of the higher priced hotels. There were a few reviews mentioning some musty rooms. Ours had a piece cut out of the ceiling and replaced. It looked as though they had take care of some possible water damage. No musty smell. The outside was well maintained […] with roses growing up the trellises as well as a sitting area in the grass with a grill. The staff was very nice. It is outdated, but that is part of the charm. If you are looking for the Ritz, pay for the Ritz. Read more

I stayed here while attending the Newport Folk Festival and it was very easy to get to downtown Newport from this location. My only complaint is that the window-box air conditioner was very loud and randomly made clicking noises that woke me up. The hotel itself is somewhat outdated, though clean and well maintained. I felt safe in the neighborhood. […] The breakfast provided (voucher to redeem at a nearby bakery for a muffin or bagel and a coffee or juice) was very tasty. I would recommend this hotel if you're in need of a reasonably priced place to stay in the Newport area and will be spending the majority of your time sightseeing. Read more

This is a simple, clean, family run motel. Interesting setup, as the entrance is part of a foyer/sunroom with a foldout couch and mini-fridge. This little entrance room is separated from the main room by a wall that has a door and a big open cutout with wooden shutters. So, the kids got the foldout and we got the king bed and were able to have a closed […] door between us. The cleaner arranged the kids' stuffed animals on the foldout when the room got made over. Nice touch. Read more

my wife an i stayed here because it was pretty much the only available during the last weekend of july. we were in town for the newport folk festival. the staff was courteous but the rooms themselves were old, dank and overall not too comfortable. if you expect something a little more luxurious you should look elsewhere. if money is tight though this […] may be the best deal in newport.

I was looking for a safe place to stay that I didn't need to spend much money for because I was a female traveling alone (visiting someone staying on the naval base). The room smelled like fish. I couldn't figure out why... The outside looks like a motel where people stay for extended periods of time, the inside is nicer and you have a fridge and iron/board. […] The shower is really small. The toilet backed up. So I only recommend for people who aren't spending much time in the room and roll well with the punches. I felt safe which is what I needed. Read more

The room was clean but extremely outdated. I was afraid when I first pulled in to see young kids riding their bikes around, unregistered cars and cars loaded with junk. I asked the clerk if people live there and he said yes. On a good note, the place was clean and quiet. The clerk was very nice as well. So if you don't expect much then it's fine but […] if your picky don't stay here. Read more

Was very reasonably priced. Room was clean, a little outdated, but very clean. Only complaint is the shower, which was kind of small and dark. Very close to newport attractions and close to quite a few places to eat. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
