The Outlook Inn is a true gem in Newport. It is impeccably clean and well maintained and the outstanding daily breakfasts beat anything we could have gotten at a local restaurant. Cindy and her team do a beautiful job there to make it comfortable and welcoming. The only negative thing was the noise level. We had a room in the front so the street noise was a lot. There were a few other guests (there are less than a dozen rooms) who came in after midnight and had full on conversations outside our door a few nights, but I can't take any stars away from the Inn because everything else was so wonderful. We will definitely be back but would try to get a room in the back so it's not so noisy.

My husband and I stayed at the Outlook Inn 1 night we had a wedding in Newport. I loved the Inn, it was quaint, very clean and the breakfast was delicious. My only complaint was due to no parking, it was difficult to check in, they do have a a driveway for people to temporarily park and check in, but every time we tried to check in, there was a car there so we had to circle around for over 20 minutes and there were not any parking spots on the street due to the Memorial Day weekend. But overall the inn was very nice. I wish they had a parking lot even though they offered free parking at the Long Wharf Mall which is 5-6 minute walk.
