The Hilltop Inn is our favorite place to stay in Newport! The Inn is beautiful. The staff are very welcoming and care about the Inn and their visitors. It is also VERY clean and provides a safe parking area. Great location to walk to restaurants, shops, the harbor and the ocean. We continue to visit every year!

We enjoyed our 4-night stay at The Hilltop Inn in Newport. We stayed in the Kay Room and were highly impressed by the cleanliness of the room, and the kindness of the room staff in providing an ice bucket and glasses (without being asked!) when we brought back a bottle of wine from a local vineyard. The decor and the grounds of the building are lovely and well kept. The back courtyard is also a nice place to hang out with a coffee in the morning, and the entrance to the house was a cool relief from the crazy heat outside. Breakfast is served daily, but we only partook of that on our first day, preferring to wander down the street in search of a cold brew coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The location is convenient in that it is far enough away from the hubbub of the waterfront area, but close enough to walk to it. A big hotel across the street has weddings regularly, but the only real noise we heard was some occasional music from that. It is a well-trafficked road, though, so be prepared for morning trash trucks and sometimes loud bass from cars at night. Parking can be tight at the Inn, depending on the type of vehicle you drive, and depending on how others park beside you. We only had one morning where it was a bit too close for our liking, but from then on we were able to safely open and close the car doors without dinging anyone, and without concern of being dinged. We would stay again. Note: children are allowed.

Excellent Stay at the Hilltop Inn
Our stay was very comfortable and we were very impressed how at-home we felt. The overall appearance and cleanliness was impeccable and every one of our needs was met. I would recommend the Hilltop Inn over a chain hotel any day.

Perfect stay, in every way
The house is beautiful! Very well maintained and gorgeous with all original woodwork, built in cabinets, etc. The Bellevue Suite is amazing – sitting room, huge bedroom and a bathroom to rival any spa. (The only potential issue with the suite is that it’s at the corner of the house closest to the intersection. If you have an aversion to mild street noise, you may want another room. This didn’t bother me, as I’m used to some street noise at night and our windows were closed due to cold weather.) Breakfast was delicious and homemade. The staff was friendly and welcoming. And the location can’t be beat – within walking distance to the area with shops, restaurants, and attractions. It’s just a small drive to the Breakers and other mansions. I can’t wait to return!

We loved the Inn for it's charming, authentic atmosphere. Comfortable bed. Beautiful, large bathroom. A few things about breakfast, a healthier option like plain eggs, toast or muffin, fresh fruit and a baked good for breakfast would be a most welcome addition. Fried food is not something I would choose for breakfast. Also, a coffee pot with coffee available for breakfast would be preferable to a one cup machine that is time consuming and mostly out of supplies and in need of assistance. The breakfast room is absolutely beautiful and the staff is just lovely and helpful. We would love to return and will recommend the Hilltop Inn to our friends.

The property is well kept. The landscaping is beautiful and there is a beautiful backyard patio for guests to hang out. The rooms are kept clean, as is the house itself. Our bed was extremely uncomfortable. We sunk into the bed. It was evident that they were short staffed. Breakfast was so so. Snacks that were left for guests were grim (small ziplocs of stale apricots and nuts) etc.

Lovely Inn in the heart of Newport
This is a fabulous bed & breakfast within walking distance of the touristy section of Newport. The Innkeeper had fresh flowers everywhere and lots of snacks. There is also a private parking lot for guests. The room was amazing. It was beautiful and had a large soak in tub with raindrop shower. There was a TV in the bathroom and a gas burning fireplace in the main room. I would highly recommend this Inn!
