Central and fairly quiet side street location with parking comprising 3 (or more?) adjacent historic buildings.

Check in and our room were not in the pretty, dark-colored building (No. 28) we saw in the photos on Booking.com but in another old house across the street. Nor was the room anything like the photos; Despite being upsold on check in an extra $20 per night to a King room it was still small, with no closet or hanging rail, just some hooks on the bathroom door, a coat stand, a chest of drawers and two chairs The small bathroom had a dated jacuzzi tub with shower over and stained ceiling tiles. There is a self-serve coffee/tea station in the ground floor common area but no in-room facility, nor is there a safe. Breakfast (cooked to prior order from a small choice and available at the time you specify when you make your order) is served in another building along the street in a simply furnished room. At best this can be described as a historic if quirky old B&B; at worst rather tired and in need of some refreshment. Our room was not serviced during our 3-night stay, nor did anyone knock on our door or offer to service it, although some towels and toiletries were laid out in the lobby suggesting perhaps you are intended to help yourself? At this price point we had a certain expectation but although the welcome was good and helpful, the place seemed clean overall and the bed and pillows were comfortable, we were disappointed that this was far from the "boutique" accommodation we'd anticipated from the photos, website and cost; frankly it does not live up to the price. Although an entirely different type of hotel, by way of a PRICE comparison we spent the subsequent 4 nights in an ultra-modern, very well equipped suite of more than twice the size, in New York's Upper West Side, a stones throw from Central Park (see thewallace.com ) for NO MORE COST cost per night!

Location is perfect and the staff were especially accommodating

Breakdast Was best meal in Newport!! Cooked to order and hot out of the kitchen!

Comfortable bed good breakfast.. quiet area overall very nice

This is not a place with a fridge or microwave. If thats what you're looking.

Greeter very nice once we found the office which is not obvious. The potential to be charming is there, just a bit shabby.

surfaces in the room or bathroom so limited there was no place to put anything down or hang anything on a hook….just not well designed for convenience.

Staff was accommodating and breakfast was nice.

The window in the room was sealed shut and covered in plastic sheeting so there was no possible way to even open it a crack. The room was very stuffy, making it difficult to sleep. And even more disconcerting, in this time of Covid, fresh air is essential in mitigating the spread of Covid.

Location was perfect walking distance to town. Breakfast was good but it was in a different building.

Could have been more organized for the breakfast.

Location, location, location. This is one of the few places in downtown Newport, RI where you can park your car and walk to everything. The breakfast was delicious in a fire-placed dining room and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

water pressure on third floor wasn’t the best.

Great location and what a gem! The Clarkeston inn had a lot of charm and the manager Otillia was the best and very accommodating to things we needed. We enjoyed Neil’s breakfasts, being close to great restaurants, comfortable bed, great water pressure, having a fireplace in our room to make it cozy and playing cards in the parlor/ dining room. This house is from the early 1700’s so don’t expect perfection but you will get the feel of living back in time. Great house!

You may hear footsteps from the floor above, but nothing too bad. Stay on the third floor if this is an issue.

Very good

location, “warmth”

Rooms were nice

Breakfast was delicious but rushed. Possibly due to covid.

I thought the room was charming, and the staff as nice as can be! It’s in the historic part of Newport, and everything is walking distance.

I didn’t love the breakfast.

Great service and breakfast

Nothing

Location was perfect

Breakfast was great. Location was perfect.

We liked everything.

Breakfast, charm, location, and staff were all terrific.

Could use a coat of paint and a new rug here and there.

Friendliness of staff. Location of Inn. Great breakfast.

I needed a little more room in the bathroom to place my toiletries .

The staff was great, very accommodating, knowledgeable about local restaurants and activities. Loved the breakfast. Loved the location. Loved the parking. Loved the all day coffee/tea/snacks.

The house is old. This type of B&B may not be for everyone.

location

booked my parents what i thought would be a nice romantic b&b king bed room with fireplace. They informed me they were given a horrible room in an old dingy attic with queen bed and that it was the worst place they’ve ever stayed at.
