We booked late for the Newport Marathon and this was the only place we could book a room close to the start/finish line and we weren't sure what we would find. It turned out to be just fine. The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The property is very attractive and well-maintained with a lovely view of Easton Pond.... More

I love different places to stay when traveling other than the typical chain motel. While in the area, we decided to stay at the Sea Whale based on the previous reviews. We didn't get there as early as we wanted, so weren't able to enjoy the sunset over the water. It was nice, though, to sit outside and enjoy the... More

I don't usually stay in motels but Newport was booked this weekend. Found this motel through tripadvisor. The motel room was very clean which is important. You can tell the owner cares about her property. The walls are a bit thin so we could hear our neighbors easily but turning on the room fan helped with that. The room was... More

Oh my goodness, we loved everything about this motel from the nice lady that checked us in to the location. We had a room in the back ground level with view of the bay. The place is VERY clean, rooms have everything you need, wifi is great, oh and the towels and sheet smell so good...just like fresh laundry. We... More

I'm always skeptical of motels, but this was truly a fantastic place. We stayed here three nights as my husband and I went to the Newport Folk Festival. Hotels in Newport were out of our price range and this was a gem to find! Pride in ownership was demonstrated by little touches like coffeemate for the coffee rather than powdered... More

From the moment we arrived for a four night stay it was clear that the people who run the Sea Whale take real pride in their work. From the pretty and manicured gardens to the truly spotlessly clean rooms we were impressed eithe the care and attention to detail they demonstrated. A great value, 'mom and pop' motel that we'd...

A group of my friends and I stayed at the Sea Whale Motel this weekend and I can only say positive things about this place. Terri, the owner, was amazing. I booked 3 rooms for Sat night and she let us check in early and had the rooms all ready for us when we arrived at noon. We were able... More

I know I am late posting my review and I apologize, but I wanted to let everyone know how great this place was. The value was excellent for the location. It had a great view and was within walking distance of some restaurants, the beach and the cliff walk. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a nice sitting area.... More

It's so nice to read all of the complimentary reviews of the Sea Whale Motel. My husband and I are originally from the island and now reside in California. We've stayed at the motel twice; once for my Middletown High 30th year class reunion and another time for my husband's youngest son's wedding. Five years later, youngest son and wife... More
