Hotels Near Blue Garden in Newport

Not always so generous with my stars -- but, thanks to GM Par Excellence Kaynisha we had a great stay for our cousin's wedding! From check-in to check-out, Kaynisha (and her staff) made our experience seamless. Rooms were spanking clean and well-appointed; breakfast was not over until all who came were satisfied -- no breakfast straggler went without a meal. I had never before seen a breakfast buffet replenished at ”closing” time! Kaynisha is a ”local” and a source of great information; she pointed my husband and I to a great spot for manis/pedis (in fact, my French gel mani is still intact over 2 weeks later!) and for lobster rolls. Kaynisha has been at this property a long time and has direct experience in almost every aspect of the hotel's operation -- no wonder she knows just what to do and what guests appreciate. This was a great choice for family -- a good hotel value, kind and knowledgeable staff, good breakfast choices, a never-ending cup of coffee whenever you needed one and accessible to Newport proper. Try it out!

Perfect location between Block Island and Newport Mansions! We stayed two nights. We went to Block Island one day (ferry was 10 min away) and the Newport mansions the next day (20-30 min away) and then headed up to Boston after that. It s also less than 10 min from Wakefield Historic District, which has a nice Main Street with shops and restaurants. We are at The Mews - a huge restaurant with a big menu incl kids menu options, 3 bars, and over 60 beers on tap. The beds were comfy, the room was clean and spacious, and the staff was helpful. The breakfast was AMAZING! It was the best Fairfield breakfast we’ve ever had…..waffles,muffins, bagels, fresh fruit, eggs and breakfast sandwiches one day, quiche and croissant sandwiches the next, breakfast meat, yogurt, juice, oatmeal and toppings, cereals. There is a nice indoor pool And a gym with weights and cardio equipment included ng Peleton bikes. Plus, the price was really reasonable compared to other area hotels!

I like to start off with positives - great breakfast with many delicious options, comfortable bed, cheerful and courteous kitchen staff. Our checkin was less than friendly or professional. Our first room had black mold which was clearly visible in and around the ceiling air vent. When brought to the attention of the front desk person, we were not only challenged but advised nothing could be done-thery were full despite a well lit ”vacancy ” sign. The front desk staff finally relented and magically another room became available. It was basically the size of a walkin closet. The young lady at the front desk was clearly inexperienced. Not once was there an apology for the inconvenience, ”how do we make this right” just another example of how customer service is long gone. We were told that parking was included at the time the reservation was made however we had to pay for parking at the rate of $20 a day. Our last day, despite a locked door and DND sign on the doorknob housekeeping let themselves in while we were sleeping. We were jolted awake. If all you want is a decent room and great location- walking distance to everywhere-this is the place for you. We won't be back and would not recommend. The front desk staff needs training in hospitality and customer service. Combative, argumentative and, really unfriendly and unwelcoming.

The room is very historical, it is a different experience from staying in a new hotel, people who like it can try it.
