Navy Inn Bldg 172 — Attraction in Newport

Absolutely unacceptable. We have stayed at the Navy Inn in Newport at least a dozen times and had very pleasant experiences until now. However, on this stay, we were told our room was in “Building 442”. To summarize these accommodations as “sub par” would be extremely polite and generous.

Edit: Gave a star back because the cleaning ladies are really nice and SOME of the other staff.

FYI you still only get partial per diem so you're better off...

Stayed at one of the NGIS building, not the main one. Had a room with separate living room and bedroom. Very clean and wifi was good. Pillows and linen very comfortable.

Ways to improve is to take off the screws that prevent you from fully closing curtains. There is a sunshade but light still gets in and is annoying if you like a dark room to sleep in. Another annoyance was the smoke detectors. They have a bright flashing green light that interrupts getting to sleep. That light just let's you know it's working. Suggest another model or a cover.

Great bathroom area but shower curtains had magnets on them but nothing to cling too. So water would splash out and curtain would such into...
