Pros

Walking distance to waterfront dining and shopping

24-hour access with no curfew

Cons

No children under 10 allowed

Parking available only a few blocks away

“In my opinion, this guesthouse presents a compelling option in Newport, especially considering its reasonable price. The hostess seems particularly attentive, and the location clearly resonates with solo travelers. While parking may require a short walk, the overall experience appears well worth it.”
