The property management company owns several historical homes on this lovely and quaint street. We had reserved a small room in the Melville house but when we arrived they offered to upgrade us to a larger room if we checked in alittle later, which we did. The room they offered was in another of their homes on the street and it was absolutely beautiful. Large king size bed and a bathroom with two vanity sinks. They were thoughtful to offer a black colored "Make-Up" towel for those who need one. My husband and I had to leave at 6am the next morning and the guest keeper, a gentlemen whom I did not get his name, greeted us with hot and fresh coffee at 6am. How wonderful is that. We filled our thermos and slipped out quietly to not wake up the other guests. The parking was located behind the building and our car was easily accessible. We are definitely coming back next year. Thank-you the wonderful team at Melville House and see you next year!

We got upgraded to a room in one of the accompanying inns, our room was called Mrs. Astor. The room was small, but comfortable with a king sized bed. We did not order breakfast. Overall, no complaints. The parking was easy and available, just a little scary pulling out of the lot since it's such a narrow driveway.

This is a lovely establishment, comfortable, good size room, frette linens and towels. great shower, and ac. complimentary continental breakfast and delicious (paid) breakfast available upon request. The property is centrally located to restaurants, bars and shops all within walking distance. innkeeper Rick is very accommodating and helpful. We will go back.

There isn’t much not to like,but if I have to say something one could grump about it would be the parking gets complicated. We always got a spot but you have to be a fearless driver to manage the parking lots which are tight with narrow entrances.

The 2 gentlemen that greeted us and got us settled into our room were excellent. The location of Melville house is perfect, it is within walking distance to everything we wanted to do.

Walls are thin and you could hear people coming and going but that was to be expected in an old historic inn.

Breakfast at the house. Location was central and historic and great. Loved access to self-serve breakfast foods all day. Access to water and small group kitchen was great as well!

Third floor walkup was a bit "far" from street. Parking was a bit tight but they helped with that. You definitely need to consider the size of your vehicle at this location. The streets are old and parking is very tight. Otherwise there was nothing else I didn't like.

Family turned us on to this quaint B&B in Newport. We're from the state but never stayed here. The location was perfect. Especially in December where it could have been quite cold. We were lucky it wasn't and was able to walk to restaurants, shopping, bars. Room was comfy & quiet. Breakfast was FANTASTIC & so was our friendly waitress!

Rick was able to accomodate my husband and I with a room at a property closer to Thames street due to my spouse's inability to walk long distances. He was funny, entertaining and so knowledgeable about everything! we would definitely stay there again!

Jacuzzi tub did not work, that was disappointing, however we made it work as a regular bathtub! sometimes you have to improvise!

The location is excellent. Rick was very friendly and caring. We weren't lucky with the weather but had a great time

It was cold, I understand it's an old building but it was freezing in the morning, extra blanket was very helpful.

Rick, the manager, provided outstanding customer service. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. House was central to everything by foot.

Taxi and Uber service to airport can be a challenge but Rick provided a solution.

We were actually upgraded to the Cleveland House next door. These historic homes are lovely and just a 7minute walk to the waterfront and main shopping/tourist attractions. Very confortable rooms, furnished tastefully. Free continental b-fast or a lovely full b-fast for $16. Extremely friendly and helpful staff.

Can’t think of anything!
