Top Downtown Newport Hotel Reviews

Mill Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we checked in to when we checked out - truly friendly and helpful staff, rooms were definitely comfortable. They had great choices for the “grab-go” breakfast and hands down the location was perfect for walking to attractions."
