Chicken Coop — Hotel in Newport

my wife and I stayed here on a whim when we were out east looking at campers. well we were so impressed that we ended up booking another week the next morning. the manager Laura is great, coming from me with 15+ years in the hospitality industry is a HUGE compliment.
