So what is it? A hotel or an auto garage? There were two cars parked up on the grass at the motel's lower level and it looked really unprofessional. At all hours there was constant coming and going, and people not seeming to stay at the motel were loitering in the grounds. It didn't feel very safe. Our room was clean enough, not really updated, but convenient to everything, but I don't think I'd stay here again. I am surprised Econolodge wants a place run like this to operate under their name.

We enjoyed are trip here clean room nice people. We also had a good breakfast provided by them. U would come back for future trips
: )

We chose this hotel because it was cheaper than another hotel down the block, closer to the beach, which didn't negatively effect access. We were still only a block away.

The hotel manager was the most gracious of hostesses and made sure everything was satisfactory. She recommended (at our request) a local seafood restaurant that earned high reviews from us.

Our room was on the south side of the building on the ground floor. We didn't have much of a view, but that wasn't our point of staying there. The only drawback of having our room where we did was the lack of wireless internet capabilities. If using a laptop for internet, I would suggest bringing along a small ethernet cable.

The room was clean, bed comfortable, and hotel quiet. The drawback here (as mentioned in other reviews) was the lack of coffeemaker in-room.

Morning breakfast consists of fruit, bagels, or a variety of muffins. Not bad for the price we paid.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Newport. It is a quick drive to the waterfront and other local attractions.

I stayed here with my husband for a get-a-way night and we paid for an ocean view room. I was thinking a closer to the beach ocean view, but no we could only see a small part of the ocean over the tops of other buildings. Not impressed!
