Newport Lofts - 194 Thames Street

We had a lovely off-season weekend and would stay here again. The complimentary breakfast had a big selection, from eggs, bacon, sausage, and cereals to muffins, waffles, bread, cheese, cured meats, coffee, and juice. The dining room, with its tall ceilings, detailed molding, French doors, and fireplace, felt like a formal parlor. Our two-bedroom unit was clean and well maintained, with comfortable beds and plenty of pillows. The kitchen, bathroom, furniture, electrical, and HVAC updates were nicely done. There was one TV in the main bedroom, with lots of viewing options, including casting. The apartment is quite small, which makes sense in such an old building. The second bedroom opens off the main one, so getting in and out means passing through that bedroom, and privacy is limited. Its bed takes up most of the room, and apart from a cuck chair, there’s no other furniture, closet, wall pictures, or TV. I wouldn’t suggest it for two adults. Parking was free in the public lot across the street from 11/1 to 4/1. I’d recommend adding an interior deadbolt and a fire plan.

This older historic inn has some street noise, as you’d expect, but the location is hard to beat. Our room was clean and the bed comfortable. We liked the evening tea and coffee with snacks, and the breakfast had a nice range of choices. Such a cute place, and we’ll be back.

Right across the charming cobblestone street, parking cost us just $20 for 24 hours using the app. The inn is adorable and in a perfect spot, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Afternoon tea came with a sweet spread of cookies, fruit, and snacks. Breakfast was included too, with cut fresh fruit, eggs, sausage, bacon, and plenty more. I’ll definitely stay again.

I came for my birthday, and they even gave me a little treat at check-in. The whole stay felt special. The room was comfortable, really cute, and had heavy curtains that kept outside noise out. I didn’t hear anyone in their rooms either, just people in the short hallways, where a door at the end helps keep things quiet. Breakfast costs a small extra amount, but it was the best hotel spread I’ve seen. The choices were simple, with lots of variety, including gluten-free options. I loved being here and would highly recommend it.
