Newport Bay Club and Hotel puts you in a great location, within a 15-minute walk of International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum and Touro Synagogue. Guests can enjoy the fitness center, and surfing/boogie boarding and water skiing are nearby. Rooms feature bonuses like kitchenettes and sofa beds, along with LCD TVs and DVD players.
Pros: Location, location, location. In the heart of downtown, waterfront Newport, RI.
Cons: The facility is worn & torn, feeling it's age, needs attention. It actually is a timeshare resort that sells vacant rooms, as available. They are in a big push to find new "members" (new blood) to “share” the obvious need for maintenance-fee dollars, but seems little evidence that the “parent” owners of the facility are putting the money back into the property.
Pros: This hotel is in the heart of downtown Newport and convenient to everything. We only used our car to drive to the mansions tour. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms have small kitchenettes with dining areas making it easy to bring food back or have a quick breakfast on hand, including glassware and utensils. We would happily stay at Newport Bay Club and Hotel again.
Cons: There are TVs in the living area but not in any of the bedrooms of the three rooms we booked.
