Stayed February 17 - 22, 2024 and this is definitely an amazing deal in Newport, especially if you've got little ones or like to be able to spread out / relax in your accommodations during a vacation.

First, this is a terrific location at the end of Thames Street - a very reasonable walk up to America's Cup and beyond. The apartment we had (534) had gorgeous sunset and water views of the harbor and Pell Bridge from a spacious private balcony. The parking is free and plentiful, which is a great bonus in the tight spaces of Newport.

The suites themselves are incredibly spacious. The apartment we had was two bedrooms - a King room with a full en suite bathroom and a large tub, then a smaller bedroom with two twins and a full bathroom with shower right in the hall. There were two large closets in the hall, a washer/dryer nook, and a kitchen with a Keurig, drip coffee maker, dishwasher, microwave, toaster and toaster oven plus full-size fridge and freezer. The coffee area came with four Keurig pods, and several packages of Maxwell house coffee grinds, filters, some sweetener packs and creamers. I had planned ahead and brought my own coffee making supplies so this was a little bonus. The kitchen was fully stocked with plates, cups, mugs, bowls, silverware, etc. No stovetop range but if you aren't really into cooking on vacation - this is perfect for morning coffee, quick breakfasts, making sandwiches, having cold drinks, fruit, popcorn for movies, anything microwavable, etc. Very convenient if you're not into getting up and going first thing! The space also had a large dining table with seating for six and we used this each morning and two night for setting up carryout food.

There was also a big living room with fireplace, couch, two armchairs, lamps, and coffee table. The fire was just a wonderful touch and they will give you matches and duraflame logs down at the clubhouse for $5 a log. The log will burn 3-4 hours so it's perfect for having on during game night or a late movie. There's a flat screen in each room with DVD player and cable. They have DVDs down at the clubhouse which was so fun for our son to pick out, he'd never seen this before lolol so even though we could have just streamed on our devices via the wifi, this was a cute activity. Also for family activities, there is an indoor and outdoor pool. My husband and son used the indoor pool 3 nights - they said it was great and there are locker rooms to dry off in. Be aware that in the cold weather, the indoor pool does not have hallway access and you will need to go outside after you swim to get back to the rooms.

We were really so happy with this stay. The price was far more reasonable per night than the Marriott or Wyndham, and we got SO much more space for our dollar. Plus a beautiful view and cozy accommodations that made for a very memorable family getaway. The furnishings and fixtures may be 15 years old or more but the space was clean and everything worked well. We will absolutely be back! THANK YOU WELLINGTON!
