newport hotel
 

taking the family in august to newport and we need to stay overnight...any recommendations for good hotels/b&b's or other lodging?

i will be hitting the surf while they sleep!

Viking hotel, Marriott near the bus station, Some assorted b and bs on Thames and downtown areas.

There's also a bunch of time share places on Thames that rent out if there not booked or people list them on their site.

There's also a few hotels in Middletown area if you want to avoid the high cost of staying in downtown Newport.

I'll put a list together, and send you a pm. Will be later on today.

castle hill. you can sneak out and surfcast at night on the grounds

excellent! thanks will look into castle hill...and thanks in advance for your pm chris...

PM sent, its long, not sure what you needed to know.

Budget? The Viking and Castle Hill are primo dollar wise. The Viking does have a nice bar though. I seem to recall phoning the desk one time the morning after and saying you charge how much for a single malt???

I go to the Marriot in Middletown.... It's half the price of Newport, 10 minute ride to town and includes a real breakfast buffet.

thanks guys!

I also recommend the Middletown places. Castle Hill is so expensive its hard to believe but its nice. Viking is also expensive and not worth it IMO. The chain motels/Hotels in Middletown are clean and a better value.
