Overview

Location. The Marshall Slocum House is located one-half mile from the Historic Hill District in Newport, R.I. The Historic Hill District is home to the "cottages" summer mansions, constructed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Thames Street, one-half mile away, offers dozens of galleries, restaurants and entertainment venues.
Features. This 1855 Victorian bed and breakfast features a large back deck overlooking manicured gardens. Full, complimentary breakfasts are served daily, featuring a selection of cereals, yogurt, fruit and specialties, including Crab Benedict and chocolate pancakes. Lobster dinners are served weekly on the property's back deck for a fee. Fax and photocopy services, a computer station and complimentary wireless Internet access are available. Other amenities include a CD stereo, DVD player, video library and board games. Laundry facilities are provided. Pets are not allowed.

Guestrooms. Guestrooms offer private bathrooms with Crown Imperial bath linens, terry-cloth bathrobes and Greenwich Bay toiletries. Beds feature down comforters.

Expert Tip. The Newport Cliff Walk, which can be accessed on Memorial Boulevard less than one mile from the property, is a three-and-one-mile mile walk along the cliffs overlooking Newport. The walk offers views of the Easton Bay and Rhode Island Sound, complemented by the historical Newport mansions located above.

Recommended Trip type: Romance "Comfy and Clean B&B!!"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 15, 2009

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Marshall Slocum Inn this past weekend. The owner Mark was friendly and allowed us to park our car and check in a few hours early. Our room, the Library Room, was clean and comfortable, exactly the type of New England room I was looking for. The location was about a 5-10 minute walk from the heart of town; was perfectly convenient to everywhere you would like to go. The staff was knowledgable - and Mark's warm breakfasts on the outdoor patio exceeded expectations!! I am wary of bed and breakfasts, and after a much research, I was very happy with my choice. I will return to the Marshall Slocum and would recommend it to anyone!!!

Highly recommend. Well located...walkable to most historic sights, shopping and dining. Comfortable, clean and well appointed rooms (we had a private bath). Fantastic breakfast. Great pick for anyone that can navigate stairs.

Marshall Slocum House 2008.09.27
Recommended Trip type: All Others "A great place to stay"

Reviewed by G of London on Sep 27, 2008

My partner and I spent three nights at Marshall Slocum House and enjoyed our stay enormously. For the first two nights we had a lovely room on the top floor with an enormous bed - one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. We had to change rooms after the second night, because our booking had not specified a particular room, but although the second room was slightly smaller, it was equally comfortable and had a larger bathroom. The rooms were nicely decorated and furnished and had top quality towels and linens. Breakfasts were tasty and nicely presented, and the innkeepers and staff were very helpful. It's the perfect B&B.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 7, 2008

Room was very cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. I had banana stuffed french toast. The owner was very helpful in giving directions to the hotel when I was lost getting there and also gave us walking directions to get around town. Would definitely reccomend to anyone.
