The Attwater earns consistently strong praise for its prime Newport location, beautifully decorated rooms, and warm, knowledgeable staff — with standout mentions of the breakfast, evening cookies, and free parking. However, prospective guests should be aware of the lack of an elevator (a real issue for upper-floor rooms with heavy luggage), variable soundproofing, and occasional inconsistency in breakfast quality. Overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with most guests rating it a rewarding boutique alternative to larger hotels.
- No elevator — stairs to upper floors are a challenge with luggage
- Thin walls and poor soundproofing between rooms and floors
- Breakfast quality inconsistent — some found it underwhelming despite positive reviews
- Some rooms are small; bathrooms noted as particularly cramped
- Erratic WiFi signal, especially in the second building
“The staff Peter and Brandy are amazing. So welcoming — sat and talked with us for awhile, made wonderful recommendations, really went the extra mile.”
“We traveled along the East Coast for several weeks, and this was by far the best breakfast we had in a hotel!”
“Almost more of an Air BnB feel as didn't see any staff the entire stay. Lovely property but definitely pricey for what it is.”
“The walls are very thin, so you can hear the other guests really easily.”
“Quiet neighborhood. Felt like home. Cozy. Different from big hotels.”
