The Inn is a good value overall, but there are things that you should be aware of. The breakfast is pitiful...worst continental breakfast I have ever seen. The common area needs to be cleaned and is very small. This is the designated area for your breakfast. They also advertise the stone patio for eating but it really is not suitable and a a residential neighbor is next to it. The room is large, spacious and clean. The old style TV is very, very small. The biggest asset to the Inn are their associates. They could not have been more friendly. It is a very good value for the price. Plan to spend absolutely no time at the Inn.

My wife and I booked a single night at the Carriage House Inn after spending three busy days at a medical conference in Providence. The desk clerk was friendly and informative. We told her that we only had a few hours to tour Newport and enjoy good seafood. She directed us to the Cliff Walk and told us about the hidden fresh water estuary at the base of the Forty Steps. She also helped us select the Pier Restaurant on Thaymes Street for our dinner. The walk was superb and the the clam and oyster dinner on the water was wonderful. Our room was large, clean and comfortable. The free breakfast and USA Today newspapter were enjoyed on a deck that adjoins the serving area.

This hotel had mixed reviews on the internet, but I took a chance anyway. You really can't beat this place for the price. It was off the main road so it was pretty quiet. Everyone was friendly and helpful during my stay. My room was spacious and well stocked. Yes, it is an older place, but that added to its charm for me. It is conveniently located near stores and Portsmouth Abbey School. I plan to go back again next year.

We selected the hotel after reading this site's reviews as well as the AAA rating, (3 diamonds). We thought that perhaps we booked the wrong hotel, as we didn't feel that it lived up to the high marks that it was given. On a positive note, it was less expensive than some of the Newport hotels and only a short drive away from downtown, but still ,for over $200.00 per night, I would have thought it would be better. It is an old inn, and has a certain charm about it, but the halls were not air conditioned, (it was 95 degrees the week we were there), and it was quite dark. The bed linens were thin, (almost threadbare), and the bathroom mat looked like something I might save for a dog bed, but would probably throw out because it was so ragged and had a large bleach stain in the center, (it was black shag). The room appeared somewhat clean, but there was a musty smell throughout. It was deadly quiet and the halls and common areas were dimly lit. When we checked in, the man at the counter was anything but friendly. Whenever we passed him and said hello, all we would get in return was a slight nod. The man who staffed the desk during the day was more pleasant, and did assist us in finding our way around when asked. The breakfast consisted of dry tasteless pastries and muffins as well as a choice of two cereals, juice, coffee and tea. We had a nice stay in the Newport area, and would highly recommend the destination, but there are so many other lodging options, (none are cheap; at least not in-season), that I really cannot recommend this hotel.

We arrived to the hotel at 10:00 am deadly tired from a red-eye flight and a long drive. The man at the front desk immediately tried his best to check us in regardless to their 3:00 pm check-in policy. He also helped us on tips around town. We were so impressed with his hospitality, feeling as if we just came home to visit a close relative who would do everything to make us comfortable. Excellent place.
