Had difficulty with early checkin communication but rest of our stay was exceptional. Nice snacks 24x7, wine hour, ample breakfast choices but not make to order. The bed could stand to be updated. It had the old fashioned box springs that moved around and wasn’t great on my back. Beautiful outdoor area if weather cooperates. Very convenient to cliff walk

Every single thing about The Cliffside Inn was excellent. The staff were friendly, informative and accommodating. The complimentary wine and appetizers at 5pm was a lovely touch after exploring Newport and waiting to head out for dinner. One night they offered chilled shrimp! We highly recommend the inn, and hopefully we will return some day!

My mom and I stayed here on our girls trip and had an incredible experience for our first time at an inn/B&B! We stayed in Beatrice’s room which was so cute, had wonderful views of the garden area and a peak at the ocean, the sunrise views from the room were stunning. It was an easy walk to attractions like the cliff walk, mansions and shopping/dining. We loved the breakfast (especially the fresh sourdough bread), the staff was so kind, and we couldn’t hear other guests from our room/the layout is thoughtful for privacy. When I come back to Newport next I’ll definitely be staying here again!

We stayed in the Turner Suite. The hotel is beautiful and a very close walk to the Cliff Walk and also to the restaurants and shops. The staff is very friendly and makes hot breakfast in the morning, fresh baked cookies, there are always snacks around, and a very social wine and appetizers around 5. The only issue we had with the Turner Suite is the very odd tub with overhead rain shower. The control for the bath is visible, but the control for the shower is hidden on the wall behind the curtains and there's no indication anywhere to look for it. There's also no shelf or other place to put the bottles of shampoo, conditioner, soap etc so you have to keep them outside and keep reaching for it. Ideally the hotel would just install a shelf where the shower control is, or get one of those wooden bath shelves you can use for this purpose. We would definitely stay here again, but would probably choose a different room due to the odd shower.
