Hotel berhampiran A Market, Newport

Kami kecewa dalam penginapan kami. Semasa membuat tempahan, kami secara khusus memilih ”pemandangan air” dan ruangan itu diiklankan mempunyai 2 tempat tidur ”queen”. Walaupun mungkin kedua-duanya benar secara teknikal, kami pasti merasa tersinggung. Pemandangan yang kami miliki sebenarnya ke atrium di mana anda secara teknikal dapat melihat air melalui tingkap sepanjang seberang atrium - beberapa ratus kaki jauhnya. Tempat tidur mungkin lebih besar daripada penuh tetapi sekurang-kurangnya 6 ”kurang daripada ratu lebar 60” biasa. Oleh kerana kami membayar tambahan untuk pemandangan, kami tidak merasa harganya sepadan. Ruangan di luar konteks itu bagus, tetapi ia tidak mempunyai air botol atau kopi percuma dan semasa checkout kami diberitahu bahawa itu disebabkan oleh Covid entah bagaimana yang tidak masuk akal bagi kami. Dindingnya juga agak tipis dan terasa seperti seseorang membersihkan kotoran tepat di sebelah saya ketika saya sedang tidur. Secara keseluruhannya bersih dan kakitangannya ramah tetapi tidak seperti yang kami harapkan untuk $ 700 / malam.

Not always so generous with my stars -- but, thanks to GM Par Excellence Kaynisha we had a great stay for our cousin's wedding! From check-in to check-out, Kaynisha (and her staff) made our experience seamless. Rooms were spanking clean and well-appointed; breakfast was not over until all who came were satisfied -- no breakfast straggler went without a meal. I had never before seen a breakfast buffet replenished at ”closing” time! Kaynisha is a ”local” and a source of great information; she pointed my husband and I to a great spot for manis/pedis (in fact, my French gel mani is still intact over 2 weeks later!) and for lobster rolls. Kaynisha has been at this property a long time and has direct experience in almost every aspect of the hotel's operation -- no wonder she knows just what to do and what guests appreciate. This was a great choice for family -- a good hotel value, kind and knowledgeable staff, good breakfast choices, a never-ending cup of coffee whenever you needed one and accessible to Newport proper. Try it out!

Great location (Applebee's right next door!). It was very clean -- that's not something I can say for most hotels post pandemic. Breakfast was good and the hotel was easy to navigate. I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever back on Aquidneck Island.

Booked a last-minute beach cottage getaway and couldn’t have had a more relaxing or better escape. Beautiful waterfront cottage, breathtaking views and treated like royalty by everyone we encountered. No lunch reservations on arrival when they’re fully booked? No problem if you’re an overnight guest, as they’ll escort you to a premium table in the patio section reserved for hotel guests. Want breakfast on the deck of your cottage? It’s delivered piping hot precisely when you requested. Want to relax on their private beach? A friendly attendant sets up your covered lounge chairs, side table, umbrella and towels exactly where you want them, and brings you water and frozen grapes. Want to slip into town for a bite or shopping? Hop on the launch at their marina, and the captain will point out key sites along the way. Lunch and breakfast offerings were interesting and well-presented. If you can, make time for the included afternoon tea with freshly baked treats and tea sandwiches served in a cozy wood-panelled room off the lobby. Thoughtful amenities in the cottage included a dimmable light, umbrellas, heated bathroom floor, a deep soaking tub, a charging station, a small refrigerator stocked with free water (plus a split of champagne, wine, etc. for purchase), etc., and there’s turndown service with chocolates. Storage for clothing was rather limited if you’re planning an extended stay, but no problem for us. We come to Newport often so spent virtually all our time at Castle Hill. Loved every minute and will return.
