What guests think

At Wellington Resort, reviewers consistently praise the walkable waterfront location on Thames Street, the exceptionally spacious condo-style suites with harbor views, and the friendly, accommodating staff, making it a popular, family-friendly base for exploring Newport.

Many mention convenient on-site parking and well-kept indoor and outdoor pools, with a sauna and small gym noted by some. Recurring drawbacks are dated furnishings in several units, occasional noise from the road, elevator, or upstairs neighbors, and kitchens that often lack a full stove or sufficient cookware. A few reviews cite limited after-hours support, strict checkout, or sporadic maintenance issues. Expect roomy, practical accommodations in a prime, walkable spot.

Our suite was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The fireplace even worked with dura flame logs which you could get at the front desk. There was plenty of parking which in Newport can be an issue. The rooms were spacious and the bars were comfortable. This was a very affordable and relaxing place to stay.

we were in a two bedroom suite. We were so excited when we walked through the suite, It was so spacious! The balcony overlooking the harbor was spectacular! We took advantage of the gym and the indoor pool. Every area we explored was impeccably clean. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a great spot to explore Newport and surrounding towns.

Overall, the property is great for families as the suites are comfortable in size. The location is great, right on Thames street but on the quieter end which we preferred! The property itself is clean but a bit dated. The pools were nice and clean and the staff was very approachable and helpful. One thing they should consider is having pool towels available at the pool, and not making guests walk to the clubhouse to get them. Certainly not a deal breaker though, just general feedback. I would stay at the Wellington again!

Stayed with family. Hotel was fantastic! We had 2 bedrooms with views to ocean, free parking right on front - very convinient location. Rooms are spacious truely! Light polution was to minimum - great for stargazing. Jaccuzi in master bathroom! TV's in all rooms ! Indoor/outdoor pool, shower (they even have sauna!) Separate Kitchen/Dining Area! No much room services - but that's expected. Checkout time early - but we were fine with that.Safety - didn't saw anything dangerous, but I would be cautious a bit - less people at the time of year (April)... Shopping is average (but that's not due to location, just newport in general). Definitely will stay again if going newport!

Stay was fine. Really great if you have a family because you are given so much space for a great price. It’s not totally renovated which is fine with us, but it had a really strong mens cologne smell throughout the apartment and even on the bedding which made it really hard to sleep. We were excited to use the pool, which was nice, but the water was really murky. I couldn’t see my daughter in the water when she would jump in which I wasn’t crazy about. It was worth it for the space.

Housekeeping does an exceptional job upkeep in condo!! Pleasant experience! Location spot on end of Thames with great restaurants walking distance. Must try Hooked Restaurant, Vieste Italian, Protective Club great libations , sports and freshly sliced meat sandwich’s!! Highly recommend this resort!!!

We loved having all the space in the condo. It was very clean and I especially enjoyed having the coffee maker/pods available each day. The furnishing were a bit worn but the cleanliness, coffee, amazing staff, great parking, beautiful grounds, close proximity to downtown and the waterfront deck made for a great stay! Thank you Wellington Resort!

Great location within walking distance to the marina and very spacious for a family of 4. Great amenities and the suite was well equipped, although since it is part of a time share, the apartment was clean but dated. Good value in the winter in the offseason, but the town looked beautiful with the holiday decor There’re lots of shops and eateries around. Stayed here for one night in December .

There was plenty of room for myself and my daughters. There should be a sign or something said to or provided to guests stating when quiet hours are as there were guests in the room above that were quite loud until after midnight and I couldn’t call the front desk until morning. Also there should be something provided to cook in the kitchen aside from the one pan with a lid that plugs into the wall. It was very difficult to cook in the room multiple things. It would’ve been better to have an actual oven or at least a stove top.

This has the potential to be a great property, as the staff was always really nice and friendly and the location can't be beat. However, we stayed for 3 nights and I was a little taken aback that nobody came to empty the trash or make sure that we had enough toilet paper. We ended up running out and called the front desk only to find out that it is not staffed at night and it is an answering service. I understand the check-in says if you want room cleaned, you need to provide 24 hours notice. I don't consider emptying a trash barrel or providing a roll of toilet paper cleaning service. So, if you're looking for a no-frills property, you found it. I guess I didn't realize toilet paper was a frill?!
