Wayfinder Newport

Det var rent, rymligt och hade egentligen allt man kan önska av ett hotellrum. Dessutom var personalen i receptionen ovanligt trevlig och hjälpsam.

This was my first time staying in Newport and overall I had a good experience at The Wayfinder. Parking was plentiful and easy, and upon arrival the welcome from the staff at the front desk was super friendly. The hotel was quite clean, a little unique and funky (in a good way), and the staff were super nice and friendly. The room I was in was comfortable overall - I especially appreciated the local bath products. My only note is that the design elements (at least for my type of room) could use some work - I stayed by myself and felt that storage for just my things was a bit minimal. There were no drawers (despite ample space in the room for them) and the only place to put clothes was a strangely placed rack on a side of a wall. Storage would be tight for two, let alone a more occupied room. Given the size of the rooms, I found that strange. The room also was surprisingly poorly lit and could have used 1-2 extra lamps. Easy fixes that would enhance the in-room experience. The hotel is a bit outside of the downtown area - but that wasn't an issue for me, and they offered a shuttle. Overall enjoyed my stay. Staff was friendly, rooms were quite clean (the gym's equipment was pretty new and clean too, as a bonus), satisfied my needs. I also went pre-pool season, but I imagine that would be nice. In-room Keurig was a plus too. I would just plan for a bit of a wonky in-room storage situation, which I hope they can remedy (because again, the rooms were sizable).

Generally, quite good. I had a problem and First Responders had to be called. Staff was excellent and my problem was quickly and professionally solved. As my coffeemaker worked to produce tea the first time, but not afterwards, I was able to get hot water for tea from the restaurant. I was able to get a tour lined up through one of the front desk people. The electrical plug that mattered (next to the table, powered my laptop) worked fine. The others went out or connected too loosely and I had to use my portable charger to recharge my tablet. Bedside lamp was pretty useless for reading paper books and magazines. Recommend two lamps that are overhead and to the side. Wouldn't hurt to have a bar and some way to hang washcloths in the shower. Appreciated the large number of pillows and comfortable bed. Bed was low enough to change on, which meant that I could watch TV while changing.

Shuttle bus was very useful as slightly out of town. Rooms and decoration were lovely.

Fun, fresh decor, warm & friendly staff
