Club Wyndham Inn on Long Wharf

Giovanna made our two night stay over New Year’s Eve extra special. Being greeted by her at check in and seeing her throughout our stay, we really feel she went above and beyond for us. She was an absolute delight to see and very kind. Hector in the craft room was also lovely and wonderful with our children. The pool area is awesome and we absolutely loved our room view of the water. It really helped make our trip. We look forward to returning!

There are not enough parking spaces to accommodate the number of guests which results in leaving your car in another lot and walking back to the hotel. Then in th3 morning you must walk a distanc3 to retrieve your car. Also b3 prepare for making your bed, ordering your own bath towels, toilet paper, etc.

We stayed here for a week, exchanging our timeshare. The view, being right on the water, was excellent and the location was great - we were able to walk everywhere in downtown Newport. The front desk staff were very good. I liked that you are able to text them with any questions, housekeeping needs and to checkout. However, we were not notified of scheduled plumbing maintenance in which we had no water from the time we woke until early afternoon. If we had been notified, we would have planned appropriately. The front staff did try to make it right, though, offering a bottle of wine. We did not use any amenities, such as the pool, but of note - everything is located across the street at the sister hotel site. The unit is set up very odd, with you walking immediately into the bedroom, then into the kitchen/living room area. It makes sense as I want the water view from the living room area, however, it makes for an unpleasant experience if you are a light sleeper or like to sleep in later than 8am. The doors slam shut VERY loudly and the houskeeping/maintenance staff were extremely loud every morning. We went in January with low crowds - I can't imagine how loud it would be if the hotel was sold out. The wall heating/AC unit which was located in the living room was also very loud, often waking us up when it turned on, even with the bedroom door shut. I'd give the hotel a 3 1/2 if I could. I would not return due to the noise level, but if you're not sensitive to noise I might recommend staying here.

While in Newport we stayed for 8 nights at the Club Wyndham Inn on Long Warf. We had a nice 1-bedroom condo on the top floor with a great view of the harbor. While the condo had only a partial kitchen (i.e.: no oven), it was entirely adequate for our needs. The room and bed were comfortable and the location just about perfect. Our building had a nice rooftop sitting and viewing area where one could sit outside with a glass of wine and enjoy the area (we did exactly that). We overlooked the fishing docks and could watch the commercial fishermen at work. And there were great sunsets visible from our room (or the roof).

At first sight, the property is not the typical "time share" you may have come to expect. And it's nothing fancy inside but...clean, well appointed, updated in the places that matter, king bed and WHAT A VIEW! We are in love with this location. Watching the boats come in and out of the marina, gulls and fish and even a whale from our sofa! Fantastic walking location to ANYTHING you want to see or do. Shopping, restaurants, entertainment - we love it here. Go to Benjamins for prime rib, take the Newport Travel Trolley Tour with Trolley Rob, visit Fort Adams and definitely go to breakfast at Slice of Heaven over the bridge in Jamestown. We travelled from Florida and worried we would freeze to death, but it was a glorious 55-63 degrees and sunny each day.

The good: Great location. Located near tons of restaurants but still in a quiet area. The view from the 5th floor is spectacular. The bad: We stayed on the fifth floor and had to listen to a thumping that I’m assuming is coming from the water pipes. It’s very noticeable at night. It woke us up constantly. We took sleeping meds and used ear buds to drown out the sound.
