We stayed here on a trip to Newport in the early spring. Lovely apartment with a beautiful kitchen and large, comfortable living room. Everything was super clean and well appointed. The house is located right in town--we were able to walk to everything--to breakfast and dinner and sight seeing. A nice parking area is provided and check in and check out was well organized and efficient. Would recommend and would also return for a visit.

Mixed feelings

Reviewed By Malillysr

The staff was friendly and helpful. Good breakfast, though starts too late at 8. Booking.com advertised it had parking. But unless you search for fine print you don’t realise it costs $29/day in a public lot. They can’t guarantee a space even if you paid. Friday and Saturday the lot can fill up while you’re gone. Worse, you have to pay every day and get a validation code. Very cumbersome. Booking.com also advertised it had a wake up call service but they don’t. I won’t stay again.

We made a last minute reservation the stay at the Inn on Bellevue. We arrived about 9:15PM and we greeted by Angel. He checked us in and showed up to our room. When he opened the door there was a small issue with it and he graciously took us to another room right down the hall. Angel was apologetic and accommodating to us for our stay. The bed was extremely comfortable and we almost slept though our alarms. That would have been so unfortunate as the breakfast was outstanding. Juice, coffee, pastries, sausage, soufflé and fresh fruit. Delicious and filling! The staff was friendly, helpful and made you feel at home. We will see you again!!

Casual sophistication

Reviewed By annielizferg

The Francis Malbone House is an experience. It offers a warm welcome with an elegant backdrop. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with such enthusiasm. Truly, the entire building smells like bacon and freshly baked sweets from the breakfast served hours before. Their courtyard will be blooming with wisteria and hydrangea in a few months, but we were happy to enjoy the sunshine while seated at a small table. The sitting rooms are beautifully staged. The room we stayed in, even at its most modest price, was absolutely gorgeous. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. The jazz music playing is a nice touch too. The staff will bend over backwards to assist you. The afternoon tea and breakfast are not to be missed. Sweet and savory items made in-house allow you to barely leave the property except for dinner. The location on Thames is perfect for you to explore the entire harbor area, walking no more than 10 minutes to any restaurant or store. All in all, if you can afford it, the Francis Malbone House is the perfect Newport getaway and is sure to deliver above and beyond! Can’t wait to go back!
