    limited bathroom support
    lack of accessibility features

    I appreciated the Jailhouse Inn's unique historical charm, with its delightful decorations that reflect its past as a county jail. The inviting common areas were easily accessible, making it comfortable for seniors like myself to navigate.

    More grab bars for easier shower access.

    historical charm
    unfriendly service
    poor check-in experience

    Quaint historical charm in every corner.

    My stay was quite disappointing. The service was so unfriendly that checking in felt like a chore rather than a welcoming experience. I waited at the front desk, and when someone finally arrived, I was berated instead of greeted. It felt incredibly unprofessional, and I was left with a sour taste for the remainder of my stay.

    The Jailhouse Inn provided a delightful stay with its unique historical vibe and convenient location. The room was comfortable and clean, making it easy to unwind after a day of work. I appreciated the efficient staff, who were quick to assist with any requests, including breakfast preferences.

    Some noise from outside in the morning may disturb light sleepers.

    spacious room
    comfortable beds
    jail-themed decor
    missing bed outlet
    stairs access

    The room was spacious and spotless, definitely larger than expected. Beds were super comfortable, which made for a great night's sleep. I loved that fresh coffee and snacks were available all day. The jail-themed decor was pretty unique and added a cool vibe to the place. However, there were no outlets by the bed, and it might be a trek up the stairs with heavy bags for some. Overall, it felt like a cozy little getaway.

    spacious room

    It was a commendable fit for a holiday in Newport with good value for money. The cookies in the afternoon were delicious and plentiful, which my daughter loved. Try to arrive early for breakfast to avoid the crowd.

    tasty breakfast
    afternoon cookies
    cozy lounge
    noisy refrigerator

    The breakfast each morning was surprisingly tasty, and those afternoon cookies were a delightful treat! I loved the cozy lounge for relaxing and the small outdoor seating area to unwind after a busy day. The only downside was that the refrigerator in the room was a bit noisy at times, but it didn’t ruin my experience at all! 😊

    easy strolls to parks, awesome food just steps away

    The staff here exemplifies hospitality, making my stay comfortable while being just a few minutes away from the beautiful Newport Museum of Art and the charming grounds of Touro Synagogue, both perfect stops to enjoy some city strolls and leisurely park views. plus, you can grab delightful bites at nearby spots like the White Horse Tavern and Perro Salado, all within a short walk. as a solo traveler, I appreciated the large room offering plenty of space to unwind after a day of exploring the area and soaking up the city's rich history, but the continental breakfast could use a little boost in variety.

    Unique experience staying in a converted jail with quirky decor. Not enough seating during breakfast and the stairs are steep. Perfect for enjoying local eateries and cycling nearby.

    continental breakfast
    local eateries
    afternoon coffee
    limited breakfast options
    no elevator access

    The Jailhouse Inn has a solid continental breakfast with tasty options like hard-boiled eggs and fresh fruit. It’s also just a hop, skip away from fab local eateries like The White Horse Tavern and Perro Salado, perfect for foodies like us. Plus, the coffee and cookies in the afternoon really add a homey touch!

    While the breakfast was decent, I wish there was more variety, and an extra chair would’ve made our stay cozier. The stairs can be tough when lugging heavy bags up to our third-floor room.
