The Bellevue Manor

10 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, RI 02840

"I stayed at this bed and breakfast for my birthday weekend. I was checked in by Kim at The Inn on Bellevue located on the corner since there isn't a check-in/check-out person in the hotel itself. Kim was very friendly and helpful with providing me with all the details I needed for my stay. My room was on the first floor, which was convenient, so I didn't have to drag my baggage too far from my car. The room itself is pretty small (including the shower) and somewhat outdated and where it needs some work, but overall, it is clean. The bed was comfortable, and they provided plenty of hot water to take a shower. They don't provide certain amenities, such as a coffee maker (there is one in the lobby), microwave, or telephone. Now for the "breakfast" part of the bed and breakfast. The breakfast is served at 8 am until I believe 10 am and it is located downstairs. They have standard breakfast items such as eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, pastries, pancakes, and waffles that is served buffett style. From the cooked items I have gotten, everything was good, and the staff that waited on me was friendly. This hotel is in a good location, near a lot of shops and points of interest. Also, a major plus is that they provide free parking for all guests. In closing, I really enjoyed my stay and would book a reservation here again in the future."

"We stayed one night, I wandered in and ask a receptionist to show me available rooms, he gave me a key and told to go to Bellevue Manor to a room on a first floor, after reading some negatives review I was very hesitant and didn't expect much, but the room was great, the bathroom is spacious and clean, the bed is comfortable and again the room is nicely decorated and clean. Our room was next to a staircase and it was very quiet. In the morning we went downstairs, where hot breakfast was served - egg dish, pancakes,fruit, etc. Overal, very pleased with the hotel and will be returning. Plus they have a large parking space in the back."

"Look elsewhere for a special getaway weekend. I had surprised my wife with a getaway weekend in Newport for our anniversary. I purchased the paint the town red special (which included flowers, chocolates, balloons and a bottle of wine on arrival). The lady at the front desk said "she read over that on the invoice and missed it". That turned my one nice getaway a year into a huge letdown."

"I was looking for something different. Rooms are small, walls are very thin, feels like you are at a Hostel vs. a B & B. You can hear the occupants next to you and they aren't even particularly loud. Breakfast came in a Styrofoam package. With simple upgrades, could be charming, instead, was a very mediocre experience."

"The man that checked us in (an Italian man) was very accommodating. He took it upon himself to get me a room my children and I would be more comfortable it. (As I ordered a room with one bed, thinking we could fit comfortably). He was very kind to help us to have a more spacious room. Once here, we were perfectly happy. Thank you."
