I am pretty easy to please when it comes to bed and breakfasts. But the Clarkeston was a disappointment, other than the location. When I arrived, proprietors told me I had been upgraded, but it ended up that mean I was in the room closest to the front door (literally two feet from it, because there is no foyer) and... More

The Clarkeston was great for a weekend trip! The staff was very helpful and the location was perfect. Our room was spacious for the price and the staff was sure to offer us an upgrade that had recently become available. Reviews we read here left us a little uncertain what to expect at breakfast, but it was great - good... More

Loved the Clarkeston and its location to the shops and restaurants. Easy drive to the mansions. Room was bigger than expected and very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was fabulous with efficient and friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again. More

My husband and I stayed at the Clarkston while in town for the Newport Folk Festival and enjoyed every minute. We are a very laid back couple and are not high maintenance in any way.

The inn is located in a great downtown location where all restaurants... More

I choose the Clarkeston based on its affordability and historic charm, only I did not actually get to stay at the Clarkeston....I was put in the house across the street that they use as... More

Great location. Stylish rooms, great breakfast and a most helpful host. A wonderful experience. More

We happened upon the Inn by searching on-line for a quaint place to stay in Newport. The street is very historic as are all the inns. Rick the innkeeper was very helpful from showing us the best route to the beach to showing us various rooms that we could choose to stay in. Breakfasts were delicious - same menu each... More
