Historic Hill Inn 105 Pelham Street, Newport, RI 02840

"We loved this place. Walking distance to a lot. The room was nice. Everything was clean. They were so helpful. The breakfast was very good. We would go back again."

"Good value for the price. My favorite part was the location itself. We were able to pretty much walk anywhere within 10-15 minutes. Nice and quiet neighborhood! The owner is really nice and friendly. Staff overall was welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was typical, nothing special or extraordinary. Best for you to get a quick bite and then save some room for a better meal later on in the day. The room itself was clean. We stayed in the king sized room and it was super spacious with lots of natural lighting. The bathroom was a bit small and stuffy but not too bad. Our sleep was comfortable thanks to the AC! Overall, a great affordable stay! Thank you"

"It is definitely a place that I would return to many times, I was with my family and friends for Memorial Day and we stayed in the small apartment next to the house and it was perfect, how initial part Donna who is the hostess received us so specially that immediately We felt at home, he gave us directions and also gave us places to visit. We were relatively 2 blocks from the city center and 25 minutes walking from the cliff, it is in a strategic point. the details of the house and the apartment are dreamy they have adorable books and decorations, that afternoon when we arrived we sat in the front on the patio and enjoyed the sun and it was spectacular we had a lot of fun. on monday morning we had delicious breakfast inside the house and donna and her husband were so attentive that they always make you feel good and at home. fall in love with the place."

"Upon arriving and walking in the door it was a very musty smell of old house we were led up to our room which was the size of a closet and the tub looked like it was cracking away from the wall. There was some kind of animal living in the window air-conditioning unit. The TV was the size of a laptop. The bed was the size of a toddler bed. The pillows were crunchy. I was very disappointed in the overall condition of the property. The pictures online we’re apparently taken with a realtor‘s camera because online it looked twice the size It was very worn and in need of updating. We go to Newport every year and this is our first time at this property. Compared to the other properties we stayed at that had beautiful bathrooms steam showers fireplaces and chairs to sit and have a glass of wine this was very disappointing. When I stated my thoughts and grievances to the owners they told me you get what you pay for. Although we did get a good rate on this room it doesn’t compensate for the neglect of the property. This was our anniversary weekend and we decided to just pack up and go home. I give it a DNR do not return"

"This was our first visit to Newport and what is not to love?! We booked about 4 weeks in advance and with not knowing much about the area I just knew I wanted to be within walking distance of everything. More of the modern hotels by the harbor were way out of our budget. Historic Hill Inn was so reasonably price for its location! It is in the middle of Pelham St which leads in one direction to Thames St and the Harbor and in the other direction towards Bellevue Ave, Memorial Blvd, the Tennis Hall of Fame, Cliffwalk etc. Can't get any better than this!! Also, the parking is included with a very easy lot to pull in and out of so you could come and go as you please!! It was great to not have to worry about parking near the busy harbor but we could easily take our car our to the beach or ocean drive whenever we wanted! Our room was very cozy and well decorated for the historic time period of the home. We had a very nice sized bathroom with a jetted tub which was a highlight for me! Every morning there was a continental breakfast with bagels, pastries, quiche, fruit, yogurt coffee and tea! We really enjoyed this and it was a great way to start the day for us and another added bonus to our reasonably priced room! Donna was so kind and hospitable and gave great restaurant recommendations and advice on where to go around town! Every day she had fresh towels for us, emptied our trash and provided us with anything we needed. Last but not least, the Historic Hill Inn is extremely clean! It may not be the most modern decor but had everything we needed with its parking, location, cleanliness, and great hospitality! I definitely recommend!"
