What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 357 guest reviews
Harborside Inn earns consistently strong praise for its prime Newport location, stunning harbor views, and exceptionally warm staff — with the all-day breakfast room and free continental breakfast frequently highlighted as a bonus. The main drawbacks are practical: no elevator makes stair-climbing with luggage a recurring frustration, thin walls and a nearby bar can disrupt sleep in harbor-facing rooms, and guests seeking hot breakfast options may be disappointed.
