Bouchard Inn & Restaurant

“Great experience and location”

This is a great option for families. Great location, spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment. There are stairs to get to the apartment just FYI.

“Great little inn in the middle of Newport”

A great little inn right in the middle of Newport. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to do (some walks were longer, but it's a walkable place so we enjoyed it).

A great little inn right in the middle of Newport. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to do (some walks were longer, but it's a walkable place so we enjoyed it). Rooms were nice and the small breakfast bag delivered to the room each morning was great. The only downside is that it's not the quietest place. We had the room closest to the street and bar next door and it was quite loud late into the evening. Other rooms further away may be better. They did provide ear plugs and a sound machine, which was nice, but even then it was noticeable (luckily we're heavy sleepers). Only other negative note was that the wifi was painfully slow. Luckily we weren't trying to work or anything, but we ended up just using our cell signal for data for most of the trip. Not sure if it was just a fluke or if it's always like that.

“Ideally Located For Tourist Attractions”

I had a great stay at this inn. The inn is perfectly located for a traveler without a vehicle. Arriving by bus at the Gateway Center, it was a 15 minute walk to reach the inn.

I had a great stay at this inn. The inn is perfectly located for a traveler without a vehicle. Arriving by bus at the Gateway Center, it was a 15 minute walk to reach the inn. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by staff who informed me of a room upgrade to the Syrah room! The room had great amenities such as coffee machine, water, toiletries, hair dryer, microwave, and mini-fridge. The breakfast was nice and featured chilled fruit and yogurt, and warm pastries. The king sized bed was comfortable. I was able to walk to all tourist sites from the inn as it was perfectly located. I did encounter one issue where the heat was not operating, but upon notifying the owner, the issue was solved. I had a great stay at this inn!

“Great Location Plus Parking & Breakfast”

This Inn is located right on Thames Street walkable to many restaurants & shops, the wharf, mansions, etc. The Inn also is home to one of Newport’s best restaurants, Chanterelle. The Inn has a small parking lot plus 3 spots on the street for its guests. One car per guest room. That is a definite plus. We stayed in the Harbor House in the Brittany Suite. The price average to $470 per night. I liked the convenience of using a code to get into the front door of the building and also the individual rooms. No key card or key to lose. Our suite was located on the first floor of Harbor House. You walk into the bedroom area and then there is a sitting area complete with a little kitchen area and further back is the bathroom. The closet was extremely small and there was no room on one side of the bed for a nightstand which was inconvenient for the person on that side of the bed. The kitchen area had a cooktop, microwave, little sink and refrigerator. The refrigerator was stocked daily with juice, milk & water. There were utensils & dishes to use, but there was no skillet/pan to use on the cooktop so it wasn’t really usable without a pan. Every morning, a yogurt parfait and a fresh baked pastry was dropped at the door for breakfast. Upon check-in, there was a note on our file that I cannot have nuts or seeds. I thought that was wonderful that they remembered, and I reiterated that restriction includes berries like strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries with Anna who greeted us. Unfortunately, every parfait that was delivered had berries in it. I wish they would’ve just stuck with bananas and blueberries in mine so I wouldn’t have to fish out the fruit that I couldn’t eat to give to my husband. Also, there were some pastries I couldn’t eat because they had nuts or seeds in them. Although it was great that they put a note on my file, the Inn forgot to honor it. When I brought it to their attention about day 5 of my stay, they were very apologetic and said that they would make sure that my food didn’t have nuts or seeds. The very next morning I received a parfait with strawberries and a warm almond croissant, which my husband ate along with his because I could not have it. Ugh! I was surprised for the price I paid for a week at this establishment that my request was not honored. I also thought it would be nice if a couple pastries were savory like with eggs. Other than the couple negatives, the location was great, having a spot to park was good, having a refrigerator stocked with beverages was great, having breakfast delivered to your room was great, the larger room was great and finally, housekeeping was good. I would definitely stay here again and I do recommend this Inn for the positive things I’ve mentioned.
