The only issue was the tight parking lot and street to get to the lot. Understandably, it is an older part of town and another lot was offered a few blocks away. Otherwise, it was a cute room (#5) and a renovated bathroom. Staff (Bridget) was nice and friendly. Looking forward to breakfast! Dining room looks pretty as well as the outdoor sitting area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Serenity Inn. It is in such a good location, super walkable to all the main sites in Newport. Bridget was so helpful in giving us recommendations during our stay. Breakfast and parking was included which was a big plus! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone who is visiting Newport for the first time!

Beautiful B&B! Would definitely recommend it. Not really anything worth complaining about. Friendly staff, yummy breakfasts, clean and fairly quiet. We were on the main floor across from the dining room so there was some morning noise but not bad. It was within walking distance of the main tourist area so we didn’t have to find any scarce and expensive parking. Just kept the car in the hotel’s free parking lot.

We spent 3 nights at Serenity Inn and it was a wonderful stay. It was one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed. As my husband and I run our own cleaning business, we know what to look for and we were very impressed at the attention to detail. The Inn is decorated beautifully and has great staff who were extremely personable and helpful. We cannot overstate this enough: the breakfasts are incredible! Delicious, with both sweet and savory meals on rotation, and the staff is willing to accommodate any changes or requests. Overall, a great stay, would recommend to anyone looking for a quality spot in Newport!

We had a great stay at Serenity Inn. The location, staff and service were wonderful. We had Room 3 which was lovely and comfortable but just to note that it is on the first floor right next to the kitchen and icemaker so was a bit noisy in the mornings. But would highly recommend this Inn for stays in Newport.

We had a lovely stay in Newport. Breakfast was delicious. Staff was attentive and helpful. I would try to avoid Room 1 since it’s right by the door and across from the dining room so you definitely hear people coming and going and when breakfast begins at 7. They kindly provided ear plugs though, which helped. Towels and linens were overly fragranced which I don’t care for but my husband didn’t mind. Overall the place was very clean. Nice shower pressure too!

Our innkeeper was very warm and welcoming and took the time to explain everything when we arrived. Our room was bigger than I expected and very clean with a huge beautiful bathroom. The breakfast was delicious ( so big that the second morning my husband and I just split 1 portion so we didn’t waste anything) my only complaint ( and it’s not really that bad, but I wish the morning coffee was a bit stronger, but that won’t keep me from going back there. ) Thanks for making our stay wonderful. I wish we stayed longer.

We've stayed at many B&B's through the years. Serenity Inn is in the top tier of properties we've been to. Highly recommend. our only complaint was our specific room (Room 4), which MUST be the tiniest room in the place. No photos of this room exist on the Inn's website or in Orbitz. All other rooms appear to be well-appointed, well-designed (in keeping with the victorian motif), but OURS felt like it was straight out of Motel 6! Zero design inspiration, just completely out of character with the rest of the inn. So we heartily recommend Serenity Inn, but just avoid Room 4!

Far enough from the action to be quiet but close enough to walk to all the shops and restaurants by the water. Daily breakfasts were delicious! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

She was so accommodating to our individual needs. The home is beautiful. The bed was SO comfortable. We were within walking distance to downtown and many restaurants. I highly recommend this establishment for singles and couples. If we ever visit the area again, it would be our go-to place.

The Inn was within walking distance to the wharfs, activities, restaurants and shops. The innkeeper was very helpful and we enjoyed talking with her about the area. I definitely recommend the Inn and especially the room at the top of the stairs with the private balcony and view of the city and harbor.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Serenity Inn. It is in such a good location, super walkable to all the main sites in Newport. Bridget was so helpful in giving us recommendations during our stay. Breakfast and parking was included which was a big plus! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone who is visiting Newport for the first time!

The location is excellent: easy walking distances to town and the water. The room and the entire property was immaculate.The breakfast was great and changed daily. The biggest plus for us was the Innkeeper, Lisa. She was very helpful and gave great suggestions for food, shopping, excursions and transportation.

We spent 3 nights at Serenity Inn and it was a wonderful stay. It was one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed. As my husband and I run our own cleaning business, we know what to look for and we were very impressed at the attention to detail. The Inn is decorated beautifully and has great staff who were extremely personable and helpful. We cannot overstate this enough: the breakfasts are incredible! Delicious, with both sweet and savory meals on rotation, and the staff is willing to accommodate any changes or requests. Overall, a great stay, would recommend to anyone looking for a quality spot in Newport!

We absolutely loved this property and will definitely come back. Ashley was the most welcoming of hosts and the standard of the accomodation and furnishings in the room was exceptional. The bed is probably the most comfortable hotel bed we have ever slept in and we have travelled extensively! The location is perfect and only 5 mins walk to the wharves and the Main Street with lots of great bars and restaurants. The breakfast was wonderful and fresh and overall would highly recommend this property if you are ever in Newport!

The Serenity Inn is an incredible place to stay in Newport. Its location is central to everything you could want to do. It’s an old historic house that is so beautiful. Breakfast had a unique special every day that was delicious and formally served. Both staff members - our check in person and our breakfast person were amazing. The loveliest energy and extremely knowledgeable in sharing everything to know about the city. We really appreciated the help and the amazing ambiance of this place and location would love to come back!

We had a wonderful experience! The breakfast was amazing, the staff was great, and the room/establishment was super clean. We had the top floor deck and it had comfortable seating and fabulous views. Parking is a little tight on site, but there is alternate free parking nearby. We would totally stay again.
