Highly recommend anyone to stay here. Situated on top of the hill from the main strip of Newport. Probably my a 10 minute walk down hill to the main restaurants shops and the wharf. Very convenient indeed. We had 2 rooms, 1 king suite and 1 big queen room. The king suite room 31 was beautiful. Very spacious and the... More

My daughter and I spent one night, mid-week, in May. The inn is done in very modern but charming decor. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with convenient compartmentalized bath. Only complaint is that sound travels and we had to ask our neighbors to turn down their music (which they did). Staff very helpful and friendly and gave us an... More

Having chosen The Attwater to break our journey between NYC and Cape Cod, we rerouted (by several hours) on the way back to stay with them again. Wonderfully inviting, extremely comfortable and two fantastic young hosts in Brad and Megan, I really can't recommend this great little hotel highly enough.

We loved the Attwater Hotel! The moment you step in you realize this place is not the typical upscale chain hotel. The decor is so fresh with modern decor and bright contemporary fabrics, not to mention beautiful, comfortable furniture and stylish lighting... Our corner room was so beautiful, bright with natural light and lovely colors. The king size bed was... More

We love that you say we are "not typical" -- that's what being Newport Unconventional is all about! We appreciate your kind words about our decor, comfy beds and stylish lighting. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back if your travels bring you again to Newport. More

Just completing a very in pace weekend at the Attwater. The space is modern cozy and the staff is incredibly friendly. We loved that it is tucked back away from the touristy main drag of Newport. That said, everything is walkable. A morning run along Bellevue and the Cliff Walk was a perfect pre-breakfast (delicious!) treat.

As others reviewed, this is a great small hotel with beautiful and nicely equipped rooms. We stayed in 2 rooms; 2 adults and 1 kid at a king suite and 1 adult and 1 kid at a petite queen. The room size was just good for our family. They warmly welcomed us and served excellent breakfast.

This place is absolutely wonderful. Super clean, super modern (even give you an ipad filled with things to do around town at check in). The room was small but still perfect. It's a little bit farther away from downtown than some other places, but still within walking distance. My girlfriend and I stayed at the cleveland inn the next night... More

We decided to visit Newport for a quick overnight. The town was quiet and the weather was great - we did not make reservations but had seen The Attwater on-line and decided to stop in. We were greeted warmly and given a suite on the top floor. It had a spacious living space, a small refrigerator and coffee maker and... More

Thank you so much for your review. So are so glad you had a great time in one of our King Suites. Aren't the bowls in the hallway cool? Our interior designer, Rachel Reider, really has an eye for details like that. Sounds like you had a nice, relaxing time in our comfy beds and savored our complimentary breakfast in... More

My husband and I came for one night. It was restaurant week in Newport, so there was a complimentary bottle of prosecco and a package of Lark Fine Food Cookies (the salted rosemary ones.) in honor of the week. The ipod dock allowed for relaxing music to play any time we were in our room. The iPad they provide has... More

I just visited for my fiance's birthday and generally speaking it was a lovely stay. The decor is modern and chic and very clean. My only hesitation is the noise.. There were families with teens/ youths and due to the large gap between floor and door, you could hear everything in the hallway. The windows are also not blackout curtains... More
