The Attwater is an excellent location. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the breakfast was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this boutique hotel.
The Attwater was a beautiful hotel, in the heart of Newport, but on a quiet sidestreet that made it easy to relax. The staff was wonderful and very helpful when answering my many questions. I highly recommend it and hope to stay there again in the future!
Had a great weekend stay at the Attwater. Peter was extremely helpful throughout our stay. The decor was colorful and fun, and the breakfast was great!
Loved how comfortable the beds were and how close the property was to all the bars, restaurants, and bowens wharf area. The front desk was so nice and helpful too and the breakfast and free parking were a plus!
We had a wonderful stay. The breakfast was lovely and it was a perfect stay for mother/daughter get away.

This is the second time we have stayed at The Attwater. The service, cleanliness and location are excellent. Some of the carpets in the common areas need replacing. Our bathroom cabinet was pretty dinged up. Everything else was great! I would definitely stay there again
The Atwater was a sweet surprise, tucked away just a few blocks from the water. The room was perfect and the hotel itself was so inviting with all of its little areas to sit and relax. Breakfast was very good and the homemade chocolate cookies in the afternoon hit the spot! I wish we had planned to stay in town longer. We will just have to come back and stay here again!
Loved this place. The location is amazing and is walkable to the CliffsWalk, downtown Newport, and the International Tennis Hall of Fame. To boot, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again and again.
First time staying at The Attwater and it won't be our last! Such a cute boutique hotel tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Newport but conveniently located so it's walkable to downtown!
The manager, Peter, was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious and equipped with everything we needed for our weekend stay. And the included breakfast had amazing homemade offerings. Another bonus of The Attwater was free parking. Highly recommend!
