Loved the staff, amenities, and location. We really felt like they take pride in the cleanliness of the hotel, staff were always wiping down surfaces or windows, and everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly. We will happily stay here again and look forward to seeing the whaler once the rest of the construction is complete. We did have a few small nitpicks, 1 is there is no chain or similar device on the door, just the normal lock and a deadbolt. I get it probably doesn't add a whole lot but it would have made us feel a little better and it seemed weird it wasn't there. Another is that there's no way to cool the room off other than opening windows/ vents to the outdoors, but when we did this we would get bugs especially at night. Some type of screening over the doors or windows so we can enjoy the breeze in peace without worry would have been nice. Also the seal on the entry door wasn't great and a lot of light came in at night and we could hear the wind whistling under the door whenever it blew (which was a lot).

Wonderful experience at the this hotel. Awesome location right by the beautiful sand beach, plus a great view from the balcony. The amenities were fabulous… loved the hot tub, sauna, breakfast truck, balconies, snack baskets- all of it! Super friendly staff and one of the cleanest, best kept properties I’ve stayed in. Would 100% recommend and stay again.

Beautiful hotel on the beach in Newport. Very convenient to restaurants and shopping. Checkin was quick and easy, and the staff was very friendly. All the rooms have a balcony that looks out at the beach, with stunning sunsets each night. Would definitely stay here again!

Great stay, not so great interaction at check-in
Our second stay at this location. We like the room, and the location of the hotel. One minor hiccup was at check in, the front desk person did not greet or acknowledge me, I stood there for 15 mins while she was typing away. Came to find out that she assumed that I was with the other party, and did not bother to ask and confirm her assumption. Once that terrible interaction completed, we got our room and was able to enjoy the place.

Amazing views and amazing room!!!
This location was amazing, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was great once the hot water was working. We didn't have hot water the first night, but the Whaler was very accommodating and rectified the situation by going above and beyond for us. Loved this place.
