Have visited the Inn on several occasions and it never disappoints. The Master Room is spacious and elegant without being pretentious. The included breakfast provides a great variety of choices, all of which are well prepared and tasty. The views front the dining area are spectacular and there is the option to eat outside on a multi-level terrace with unobstructed views of the surrounding bay and ocean front. There are comfortable Adirondack chairs on the sloping grass area leading down to the water which provide splendid places to have a drink and watch sailboats, fishing boats and cruise ships pass by. We actually come to Newport more to visit the Inn than the downtown area which can be over crowded and touristy. But it is a relatively short drive to the mansions and the Cliff Walk which are very much worth visiting.

“Bad First Night - Bed Was Never Cleaned!”

We had a GOOFED BED on the first night! We headed to Castle Inn to celebrate my husband's birthday. We booked a private cottage for two nights. We checked in at 4 pm and grabbed a great bite at the on-site restaurant. After a walk around the beautiful property to catch the sunset, we settled in for the night. Getting ready for the night - I jumped into bed -to jump right back out --- because it was very apparent it was DIRTY. The sheets from previous guests were never changed. We called the front desk, and a lovely woman raced down and changed and swapped out everything while I sat in my PJ's, holding our puppy, in awe as I watched her be calm and polite to correct the concern over lite chit-chat. She did an amazing job, but the reality is - the experience somewhat put a damper on our first (to be romantic) night there. Then, the next day, the housekeeper removed our cozy hotel-supplied shirpa blanket, and we called to inquire where it had disappeared to, as it was overcast and I was looking to warm up on the couch. Moments later, the housekeeper returned it and rudely stated that the room is a dog room and that those blankets aren't for guests with dogs (so odd). That evening, we returned from the chef tasting dinner to celebrate the birthday to find a silver poop can literally at the front of our door. I suppose our placement of clean-up bags - below the deck near the shrubs was not sufficient, but that was a bit brazen to place it there, out of all places available, to say the least. Had the room been prepared correctly at the time of our arrival, these headaches would not have happened. Andrew at the front desk upon departure was amazing and knew the issues that took place. He extended us a credit for our lunch and wine, thoughtful and appreciated. We will visit again as the resort is picturesque and the staff is overall absolutely wonderful, we just had a bad first start...and they had a wedding that day so it seemed they were a bit overwhelmed. Till next time - A.Meadows
