What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 204 guest reviews
Mill Street Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its prime walkable location in downtown Newport, genuinely warm staff, spacious well-appointed rooms, and the convenient in-room breakfast delivery — touches that inspire strong repeat visits. The main consistent gripes are tight on-site parking, bathrooms that feel dated and overdue for a refresh, and isolated signs of wear in some rooms, which occasionally disappoint guests given the price point. Overall it is regarded as excellent value for Newport, with minor maintenance issues being the primary caveat.
