Pros: The moment we entered into Rhea's Inn we noticed how immaculate it was. We had been touring New England for the last 10 days and Rhea's Inn was our last stop before returning to Maryland. It had been a lifelong dream to visit the Newport Mansions and Rhea's Inn was in a perfect location. The owner Tony was so helpful in answering all of my questions. My boys' especially liked the spa tub, comfortable bed and balcony with a view of the ocean.

Pros: Great location, walk to the beach, close to food, very friendly helpful staff. Did I mention it's clean? Spotless!
Cons: Not their fault but the town needs to do something about the brown tide at Easton beach. 2nd beach is much cleaner and much more crowded because of that. What good is great location if the walkable beach is so dirty. I did not like the fence at the old Atlantic Beach Club location. They also do not maintain their beach at all.

Pros: Comfy bed, very clean modern room, lovely shower, good wifi, easy close parking, filling continental breakfast. Located close to the Cliff Walk where we wanted to go. Gentleman who staffed the office was very helpful in terms of information and directions.
Cons: No elevator - so two flights of stairs to our room. But office staffer helped to carry up baggage.
Nearby highway busy and a bit noisy but with window closed and AC on low, not a problem.

Pros: breakfast has most of what you may need, location is great, manager is super nice, there is a great pub near location
Cons: reception is not open late - have to be careful to this when booking. On the other hand - the manager called me immediately after booking to advise me of this - so a 10 mark for attitude. Otherwise all was OK.

Pros: The continental breakfast was fabulous, so much variety and all good quality options.
The property in a short stroll from the beach and had numerous great restaurants around. Short drive from Newport Marina.
Cons: There was nothing we didn't like about this property, we will definitely be back. Actually I do wish they had a trash can in the car park. I couldn't find one, this doesn't mean they don't have one as I didn't go searching the whole area.
