Cute little property with a historic feel to it. Parking was convenient on the property. Staff was friendly. Walkable to everything. A must to do is have dinner and drinks at one of the oldest taverns in America, the Whitehorse Tavern. Which was a five minute walk from the property. Breakfast included and made to order. Would stay there again. To throw a Con in there, the room had windows that you could not open and the room was a little stuffy. I would have liked the ability to get some fresh air. The room we had did not have the ability to control your own temperature. Think the room should’ve came with at least a fan to regulate the air.

Very close to the shops and parking is available in the property.

Parking was easy and the service was nice and the room decent and clean.

Parking on site Walkable

Location, location, location! Absolutely phenomenal location to downtown Newport and the wharf area (Approx. 5 min walk). The buildings are Revolutionary War era construction, so don’t expect the modern amenities of a 21st century hotel chain. But, the properties are clean, charming and well maintained despite being nearly 300 years old. Off street (free) parking was also a plus, but beware if you driver a larger vehicle (large SUV or truck), the lots and driveways are very tight and would be near impossible to traverse in a pickup or large SUV.

The house was old which was to be expected in an historic house. However, our room smelled of wood smoke (and it took me 2 cycles of laundry to get out the smell). Several things were broken, little things but they added up (the sink didn't drain, the bathroom floor tiles were broken, the shower was tiny). However, the people running the place were fabulous, extremely helpful in getting out breakfast order and making sure we had parking. Bringing us ice. There was parking which in this part of town was amazing. They have 3 lots and some street parking, plus it's close to the harbor. So it was a mixed bag. I am so sorry to say it because the staff was just so helpful and nice. Perhaps one of the other houses would be better but for the money I paid, it wasn't worth it.

Charming place. Very nice owner and parking was easy.

No elevator so there are stairs to navigate. There was a young man who helped us carry luggage to the room. Room ac’s, tv. Shower was good with plenty of warm water. Friendly efficient staff. My friend and I got the breakfast which was extra. The chef was very efficient and food was good. Location was ideal and we just walked everywhere or caught the free bus which took us to the mansion area and Cliff Walk.

We reserved the Melville, but check-in was at the Cleveland and we were given a room in the Admiral Farragut. All 3 are listed as different hotels on booking sites, but they are owned by the same group. If the owners are going to treat these hotels interchangeably, then they should be listed as a single hotel with multiple buildings. In particular, they should not be listed with different prices. On our departure date, I checked listings for that evening and there was more than $80 difference in price between the cheapest and most expensive of these three hotels. The owner explained that the Farragut had bigger bathrooms. Maybe true, but the plastic shower stall was old. When we arrived in the afternoon, they gave us a spot right next to our building. We then drove to a restaurant for dinner and when we returned at 9:30 all the parking spots were taken. A staff member directed us to a different lot across the street, where we had to wedge between two big SUVs and had almost no room to get out. I was frustrated parking spots were not assigned. The bed was big, but fairly stiff. Once you got through all the decorative pillows, the two actual pillows were sad and lifeless. The next day we asked for more pillows, which were much better. The window AC was weak. Just enough for 80's temps, but not for hotter days. The wifi was nonexistent, despite 3 routers. Multiple ping tests had download speeds of 3-6Mbps. Couldn't load basic websites. Breakfast was fine. Staff were helpful.

The Melville House was not available when I arrived with my daughter due to the central air not being on at the time and no other guests were staying at the time so we were offered a smaller room with a larger size bed in one of the Inns owned by the same people, across the street. This Inn was very nice, clean, and we had everything we needed for a short stay. Coffee and water available downstairs in the foyer. The bathroom was impeccable. Comfortable bed. Window AC was not too loud. Overall a great stay.

Overall great! We loved it and will be back. Staff was very helpful, the room was cozy, and you can’t beat the location! Only a 5 minute walk to downtown. Only downside was we kept finding so many flies, and a couple bees in our room. They were all by the windows so we assume the windows aren’t in properly or something. Only felt like a minor inconvenience though for what we got!

Wonderful hosts. Room was lovely and clean. Quiet in the area. Easy access to everything.

I loved the location on Clarke Street, it was close to the places I wanted to visit. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff was helpful.

Clean and comfr

Located close to shops and restaurants, staff pleasant and helpful, room clean and comfortable. A very good place to stay.

Good bed, nice people. But the place is filthy. I think the old spider sac in the bathroom has been there about ten years, along with the mold around the shower. There's a vacuum in the hall but no one used it on my floor. Maybe I'm supposed to clean my own room?

Rooms were small, needed to pay for an upgrades to get decent room and pay extra money. Original room that I booked was very bad in dirty old house. Service people were nice, tried to make the best out of our stay. Will not recommend this hotel to my family or friends.

We actually upgraded to the Inn next door run by the same owner. He has 4 in the same block. Rick was the best host. The Melville house was clean but basic and unfortunately smelled like an old house (not in a good way)-a bit musty. Overall the Inns are well run, breakfast is good and affordable. Curtis was a good chef. All of the staff were great. The location cannot be beat!

We booked this stay as the night before running the Newport Half Marathon. We were very excited and thought that staying in a historic, quaint spot would be a fun addition to the weekend. However, a few days before we received notification to call the office to confirm our stay and felt coerced into "upgrading" our room after being told it would be "too small" for us. The room we were brought to when we checked in had two beds and two separate rooms, which we did not need at all. The mattresses were incredibly thin and uncomfortable, the curtains were sheer and did nothing to block out the light. Additionally, although not within their control, we were awoken multiple times in the evening by tours outside of the venue and by other guests. This could potentially be avoided by implementing a quiet time to respect other guests. Lastly, we were told breakfast would be until 11am so we could get some hot breakfast following our run. We arrived at 10:35am and were told the guy who makes breakfast had already left for the day. Overall, poor experience.

Great location. Historic rooms decorated nicely. Small upgrades would make the room more historic (like the drapes). Cautions: no temperature control in room, can hear everyone in the house all the time

Room different to pictured, very bare. Everything needs to be updated. Door to house constantly open, room only secured via small lock. Room was very cold. Lady at reception was unfriendly to us and bullying the young man who welcomed us. Overall her vibe was very unfriendly. Glad we’re gone.

Nice property some room much nicer than others. The owner upgraded ups to a nicer room than I supposedly booked. Also a nice breakfast

Good option to stay if you’re not in the room and out all day. Everything in town is 5-10 minutes walking distance. Other than that the rooms are fairly small making it an uncomfortable living space for the price.

Great location. We had the smallest room but it worked great.

Rick was phenomenal in checking me in. I'm a bigger guy at 6'6 and he upgraded me to a bigger room and bathroom that would accommodate my height. I can't promise room upgrades, but if they have availability, it's a potential perk. The room was great, bed comfortable, bathroom updated and spacious, but it retained and older charm that reminded me of my grandmother's home. After visiting other cities in New England, it is hard to beat the walkability of the hotels on this street to the harbor restaurants and shops. Certainly worth a revisit for a longer stay!

Check-in was a bit chaotic and because they manage multiple inns on the same street, they clearly give people whatever room makes sense when they check in regardless of the building. So my room/inn was definitely not the room/inn I booked but it worked out fine. It would have been a more significant issue if I was not on a casual solo trip. And if I hadn't already come to terms that I was paying a premium for the location (5 minute walk from the wharfs/downtown Newport). The building I was in was a bit unfinished, and so was the room (unfinished floors, bathroom/sink could use upgrades, very outdated paint and doors/looks) but it was clean and cute for a New England stopover. But I wouldn't stay if you can't accommodate a little bit of unexpectedness in your travels. Overall, definitely not worth the price I paid (or up to the standards for that price) but it worked well enough for this specific trip.

Love the old house, however could use some TLC and care towards hosting guests versus being a business. As soon as we checked in the ?manager pulled a bait and switch, stunk of a used car salesman, pushing to upgrade the room to a queen then suddenly it was a king for an extra $40 a night. Suspect he had a lot of open rooms he needed to fill and this was his way of pushing us into a higher rate room. Was not even in the house we had chosen. When we said we wanted to see the room we had booked, his whole demeanor changed and he was no longer friendly. The young man working for him did change our room back to what we had booked and refunded the difference, but it was incredibly shady. The properties themselves could use some care and attention, some areas were dingy, the face covering of the vanity was falling off, the air grate only had 2 screws holding it on the others were falling out, the outside sitting area was completely neglected which is unfortunate as just a little effort would make it a huge plus. Overall, our stay was fine, but we have stayed in many places and this was the worst. Never book through Inns of Newport, there are far better options for the same price range.

Location is great. Much of the town is within easy walking distance. Staff went out of their way to be helpful and solicit feedback. Finally the parking is a big bonus in the center of town.

This was my second year staying a Melville House (or related property) for the Newport Motor Week. The accommodations and the location are excellent; central to wherever you want to go. What elevates the experience, however, is the the helpfulness and generosity of the innkeeper, Rick. I trusted that if if I ever had an issue (which I didn't) it would be taken care of.

Room different to pictured, very bare. Everything needs to be updated. Door to house constantly open, room only secured via small lock. Room was very cold. Lady at reception was unfriendly to us and bullying the young man who welcomed us. Overall her vibe was very unfriendly. Glad we’re gone.

The Inn staff were friendly and helpful. They greeted us on the street and assisted with parking. They walked us up to our room ensured we had everything we needed. Rick is friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone’s stay is meeting their expectations. The bed was very comfortable.

Be aware that when you book a room on this site, it may not be the room that you get. Once we arrived, we were given a key to check out a room on the third floor in a different building. It was a shotty room with unsafe locks and a lot of narrow stairs. I feel it was a way of forcing us to upgrade which we didn’t feel we should have needed to do. Management told us that they would throw in breakfast which we had already paid for online, but was never taken off of our bill.

I booked in advance on Expedia only to then hear just before my arrival that the hotel doesn’t have a room at all for me. The person helping me was unhelpful, not particularly ‘with it’ and made for a very tough experience. Couldn’t have had a more frustrating experience

Excellent custom service, quaint location, and comfortable room.

The manager was amazing. If you needed something, the staff had it for you even before you realized you needed it. Definitely a real gem.

Really nice historic inn, right in the middle of Newport. Perfect!

An historic property located in the heart of Newport's central district within easy walking distance to restaurants, bars and shops. The fancy Vanderbilt restaurant is right at the end of the road. Much cheaper than big hotels although it is just bed and breakfast.

Manager was really great! He upgraded our room for free since I booked a room that had a double bed and bathroom in the hall. He was so very helpful. He also offered to give us a ride to Ocean Cliff where the wedding was! We declined but appreciated the offer! Breakfast was great in the morning! Cooked to order. You could choose, eggs any style, omelet or blueberry pancakes! Bacon, toast & fruit with it. Coffee, water & juice available. The room was nice except the air conditioner did not work well. Luckily it was not hot out! The toilet in the bathroom didn’t flush. We had to lift up the back and flush from the tank! Our room was right off the breakfast area so if you want to sleep in you might want to pick a different room. We were only there for one overnight.

Nice property some room much nicer than others. The owner upgraded ups to a nicer room than I supposedly booked. Also a nice breakfast
