We just came back from a two-night visit to Newport. The Mill St Inn is the perfect stay. The building, guest rooms and common space is so thoughtfully designed in a gorgeous old building with tons of charm, but with all of the updates. We stayed in a 2-story townhouse room w/king bed. We also had a lovely gas fireplace that was so cozy! They had everything a guest would need and then some. The beds are really comfy. It was freezing out so we couldn't sit out on our lovely terrace, but we stood out there and the view is amazing! They also have a hotel rooftop. Breakfast was DELISH! You fill out a form and they deliver it in a bag at the time you write down. They also have a nice Sangria in the lobby with fresh fruit. The front desk staff and housekeeping people are the CREAM of the crop! We will not even research another hotel when we come to Newport. We found our "go-to"! Thank you Mill St. Inn!!

First time at Mill St. and definitely not our last! What a fantastic property. Love the boutique style hotel, great esthetic/old mill! Alexander was a pleasure upon our arrival at the front desk. The room was cozy and clean. Great shower head and comfy bed. Loved having the gym and the complimentary breakfast(arrival bag of treats/water/sangria) were all delicious! Having parking on location was also great perk and walking distance to Bowens was quick and right down the street! We are booking our next visit as soon as s I'm done typing!

Our new favorite place! Wish we had found it sooner, but will definitely be our go-to going forward. We had a junior suite on the first floor. Beautiful room, high ceiling, sitting area, extremely comfortable bed and pillows. The amenities are special touches we never had before - a gift...

Our new favorite place! Wish we had found it sooner, but will definitely be our go-to going forward. We had a junior suite on the first floor. Beautiful room, high ceiling, sitting area, extremely comfortable bed and pillows. The amenities are special touches we never had before - a gift bag of goodies upon arrival, delicious fresh continental breakfast delivered to your room (including organic coffee and fruit), complimentary sangria in the afternoon, beautiful rooftop lounge overlooking the harbor. The staff was so friendly! And all this within walking distance to all that Thames Street has to offer! Can't say enough things about it, and we can't wait to go back.

This hotel is a gem! We arrived at check in time, and parked in the garage. Like it says, parking is tight, but we backed into our spot easily! There’s also parking adjacent that’s open. Check in was easy, and there were welcome drinks near the desk. The concierge was so helpful! We had a two level room with a balcony overseeing the city. Absolutely stunning! The stairs in our room were a spiral staircase, and we had a small suitcase and bags to carry up, in case you book this type. We slept soundly, it’s quiet and the bed was so comfortable. We received a welcome treat bag and a lovely welcome letter. The breakfast was a light continental breakfast delivered to your door. Perfect start to the day! Highly recommend Mill Street Inn!

One of the best places I have ever stayed. I loved it here!! When we are in Newport again, I will definitely be staying here again. It is a great location within walking distance to everything. Once we parked, we didn't get in the car again until we left. The rooms were beautiful and the whole atmosphere is great!! Check out the roof top deck!! Highly recommend.

Nice inn close to the wharf and Thames street shopping. Parking garage a bit precarious so best to park and leave car there. Do not have a large SUV! We used Lyft to get to dinner. Biggest complaint is the lack of lighting in the bedroom. That needs to be improved. Living room area had great lighting. Bathroom a little small and awkward but nice rain shower. Halls smell a little musty but it is an old building. Breakfast delivered each morning. Plenty of options for a light breakfast. Fresh fruit and yogurt was a welcome treat. We would definitely stay there again and thought the rates were very reasonable for Newport.

The Mill Street Inn is a great place to use as a base to visit Newport. Check-in was smooth and there is large batch of welcome cocktails by the front desk. Its location is perfect for walking to, in & around the Newport waterfront and downtown. It has parking on site. We stayed in a two-story suite on the second floor for two nights. There is no elevator, but of you're able to use stairs you'll be fine. The sleeping around was on the second floor of the suite with a small deck with a. pair of chairs to sit outside and view the city. The lower level was a living room. I'd definitely stay here again.

We have traveled all over the U.S., Europe, and Canada and this might just be the nicest place we've ever stayed. The super awesome folks at the reception desk were so friendly and knowledgeable.

We have traveled all over the U.S., Europe, and Canada and this might just be the nicest place we've ever stayed. The super awesome folks at the reception desk were so friendly and knowledgeable. The location was perfect, close to everything. The "room" turned out to be an upstairs/downstairs suite and had every amenity we could have asked for. The bed was super comfortable; the robes and slippers were a nice touch. The free parking was much appreciated because on-street parking was hard to find. This was our first time to Newport and I hope we live long enough to be back. Just amazing!

From the outside, this historic brick building is not necessarily very inviting, but once inside, you'll be warmly greeted by a friendly face at the desk. Fruit infused water and sangria were waiting in the lobby for guests each afternoon. The hotel is just a block (uphill) from Thames Street,...

From the outside, this historic brick building is not necessarily very inviting, but once inside, you'll be warmly greeted by a friendly face at the desk. Fruit infused water and sangria were waiting in the lobby for guests each afternoon. The hotel is just a block (uphill) from Thames Street, the main street that parallels the harbor. This made for a quick and easy walk to all shops and restaurants. We did not have a problem finding parking in their lot with our smaller SUV. We were pleasantly surprised at the delicious choices for breakfast each morning: the yogurt parfaits, warmed pastries and freshly cut fruit were all delicious and what a treat to have it delivered! Our suite was very comfortable and my husband loved having a couch and large TV to catch the Eagles on Monday Night Football! The rooftop deck was a great place to relax after a busy day exploring!

Lovely boutique hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was charming and clean. Breakfast delivered to your room in a bag. We took ours up to the roof deck to eat. No elevator but staff helped with our heavy bags. No flexibility on checkout but could use facilities.

Top experience all around. The key to this hotel is location, location, location. Park (we got a space no problem) and then walk everywhere. We had a long weekend and went for the jazz festival and walked to the harbor for the water shuttle to the festival. The hotel is right by the street with the free shuttle to the mansions and other tourist stops. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Walk in and there is cold iced tea and cups waiting, very welcome after hours of walking around in 85 degree heat, I collapsed on the sofa and had a cool drink before heading to the room. No elevators as stated but stairs are not too bad. We were upgraded to a townhouse which was lovely although it just added stairs lol. There is a TV in the living room and bedroom, pretty big too, my hubby liked that! The bed was comfortable, the bathroom spacious, refrigerator to keep water cool. The roof deck was nice. The place is fairly well maintained, the place is as in the pictures. The breakfast is very nice, no need to dress and get down to a breakfast room - its automatic room service :) You pick the items the night before and they deliver it in a take-out manner, wrapped and in a bag. This works well as you can take away with you or just eat in. The Iced coffee was really great, true cold brew. The items are more than enough, you can pick one of a choice of pastry, choice of fruit and also choice of yogurt. Not a big fancy breakfast but tasty and filling, I ordered one of each first day and it was too much so pared back. the pastries were nice, the fruit was very tasty - not tasteless supermarket cups. The yogurt and granola is filling. Nothing negative to note unless stairs are a challenge for you. Otherwise a perfect place to stay in comfort and then get out and walk around Newport.

Loved this little boutique hotel. Friendly, clean, delicious breakfast, quiet. Outstanding location right in the middle of everything. We are frequently travelers. Highly recommend and would come again! Newport was a great stop on our New England tour.

Unlike other reviewers, I'll not highlight the many positive reasons for staying at this property. There are many, and, most other reviewers have already listed them. We booked a townhouse suite (208) that was comprised of two levels. The upper level contained a king bed and access to a private roof patio that abutted the main roof deck. Upon early arrival, we were given a parking pass and could park in one of the spots under the Inn. The Inn contacted us within a short time to inform us our room was ready. A caution about the parking: there are two significant issues regarding the parking. 1.) There are 21 parking spots for 23 rooms. Parking is going to be dependent on timing and whether each guest arrives with a car. Some do not. If you cannot park on the property, there's a paid lot one block away. 2.) Pay attention when parking under the building. Some of the spaces are tight and complicated by metal support poles. The Inn provides a planned breakfast each day. You simply fill out your choices for the next day and hang a form on your door. The downside is that if the weather is poor, there is no formal area to eat breakfast. Our room did not have the capacity to eat breakfast, so, we ate on the private patio, or, the rooftop deck. Like many others who have reviewed this property, we would gladly return to it in the future.

The Mill Street Inn is a Newport gem. We had a studio room, which included a large sitting area. The bed was comfortable. Loved the breakfast delivered to the room each morning: choice of items like pastries, yogurt, fruit, coffee, etc. Parking is tight but free, which is huge. The rooftop deck has just opened for the season and is lovely, with plenty of seating options and a distant view of the ocean. People at the desk were helpful and friendly. One drawback was the bathroom lighting, which was on the same switch as the loud fan. Just a bit inconvenient in the middle of the night.

Overall the hotel was beautiful. The room was very clean. I loved that it was two levels. We had a spiral staircase in our room which made bringing bags up happen slowly but it wasn’t bad. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic. Just enough for a light breakfast. The yogurt parfait...

Overall the hotel was beautiful. The room was very clean. I loved that it was two levels. We had a spiral staircase in our room which made bringing bags up happen slowly but it wasn’t bad. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic. Just enough for a light breakfast. The yogurt parfait was 10/10! Parking was tight. Do not come with an oversized vehicle. We were told to maybe not take our car out for the weekend once we parked. We ended up taking it and luckily got a spot when we returned. Back into spots when you park! We learned the hard way that if you don’t back in it’s going to be very difficult to maneuver out. Thankfully an employee from the hotel helped us out! Overall I would definitely recommend staying here. Great location, great rooms and great staff!

The room was a studio unit but more spacious than most hotel rooms we have had elsewhere. The location was perfect for being close to Thames Street downtown within a block as well as near the Belleview Mansions and cliff walk. The help we received from Lori (behind the desk)...

The room was a studio unit but more spacious than most hotel rooms we have had elsewhere. The location was perfect for being close to Thames Street downtown within a block as well as near the Belleview Mansions and cliff walk. The help we received from Lori (behind the desk) for navigating Newport and tips on where to eat were spot on, especially grabbing lunch at The Cru to take with us for the cliff walk! The room itself was clean, the Nespresso machine and sweet local snacks were a jewel-touch, and the door-delivered breakfast was a welcome start to our day. The bed, blankets and pillows were comfortable after a walking day. The sangria and lemon water on site were refreshing. There was a spa on site, but we did not explore this. I recommend this based on our experience and will return! NH Dwellers

First time at this inn. Quieter than most. Rooms spotless. Decor great stayed in a studio. Heat was a bit of a problem temp was 75 when we checked in. Took all. Night to get temp down to 70. Way too hot for us. Thank God there was split unit...

First time at this inn. Quieter than most. Rooms spotless. Decor great stayed in a studio. Heat was a bit of a problem temp was 75 when we checked in. Took all. Night to get temp down to 70. Way too hot for us. Thank God there was split unit in room. Would highly recommend for considerate quiet couples looking to get away. Parking is a bit wonky but included.. also a mention to the incredibly helpful person that made our phone reservation. She's a keeper!

Perfect location, super friendly and helpful staff, very clean, restored historical space, but with all the modern conveniences. Great continental breakfast (included) delivered to your door in the morning. No elevator, so if stairs are an issue make sure to ask for a ground floor room.

Everything about this hotel is wonderful -- the location, the service, the rooms, the breakfast. We were very happy with our choice. When we checked in, we were greeted with a goody bag of popcorn, pretzels, and a few sweets. Our room consisted of a sitting area and a separate...

Everything about this hotel is wonderful -- the location, the service, the rooms, the breakfast. We were very happy with our choice. When we checked in, we were greeted with a goody bag of popcorn, pretzels, and a few sweets. Our room consisted of a sitting area and a separate sleeping area, both with TVs (although we're not TV watchers). Although we were there in January, when Newport is relatively quiet, we can imagine how nice it would be to stay here in the summer, away from the crowds at the waterfront, although only a short walk away. Off-street parking is included at no extra charge, as is breakfast, which is delivered to the room. Everyone who worked at the hotel couldn't have been nicer. We'll definitely stay here again when we come back to Newport.

We arrived a bit early and were happy to be greeted warmly and told that they were ready to check us in! We had a great room (108) with its own private porch and street exit. The location is superb: we walked to the Cliff Walk entrance (20 minutes), and in the evening to a lovely seafood restaurant (5 minutes). We both had an excellent night's sleep in super comfortable bed (Casper mattress). The shower was gloriously hot and had massage-like pressure (only tiny nit: can't work up any steam in a half-glass enclosure). Good fresh organic brew in the morning, rich yogurt, fruit with kiwi and pomegranate seeds, juice with pulp. Not to mention the all-important dog amenities and human snack bag.

We stayed a couple of nights for a quick getaway. The staff here is so friendly and accommodating. I don't think any other place in Newport can match their kindness and genuine concern for the guests' wellbeing. We were on the first floor and the room was spacious and gorgeous....

We stayed a couple of nights for a quick getaway. The staff here is so friendly and accommodating. I don't think any other place in Newport can match their kindness and genuine concern for the guests' wellbeing. We were on the first floor and the room was spacious and gorgeous. Unfortunately, there was a very loud noise (room 107) that started in the middle of the night (sounded like a generator or something), and Lori (thank you Lori!) was able to upgrade us to another room (no charge). The rest of our stay was very quiet and peaceful. The complimentary breakfast was perfect and just enough to fill you up and get you going. The fruit is fresh, the chocolate croissant was a cloud of deliciousness, and the orange juice was freshly squeezed. It's great that they provide free parking. Although it is quite tight, parking is a hot commodity in this area, and it's so walkable that you don't need to move your car that much. The staff is very knowledgeable about the area and everything that it offers so don't hesitate to ask them for pointers! They gave us quite a bit of helpful hints. Keep in mind that it's a very old building so some things are out of their control, but overall, the Mill Street is charming and quaint. You have the old world charm of brick walls, with the modern amenities like great air-conditioning and the staff is absolutely wonderful. It's on a little bit of a hill, but that's the perfect way to walk off all the food we ate! We are in Newport quite a bit. Needless to say, we won't stay anywhere else. Thanks Mill Street Inn!
