I was alittle scared walking to my room... The long corridors had old carpeting and a stale smell mixed with fragranced deodorizer. Thankfully, the room and bed especially were clean and comfortable. There werea bunch of college guys partying in a downstairs room who were disruptive in the halls, but they were taken care of by management and a few... More

I spent two days in Newport, and although The Mainstay Inn is not centrally-located, I would stay here again. Clean and very comfortable. The hotel restaurant was the only nearby food option and was fine. More

This was my 2nd stay here, and it really isn't a bad place to stay, especially if your just visiting the area and this is only a place to sleep. One thing that sticks out however is the service, the people there are really great at what they do. Friendly, helpful, and just nice to be around. The rooms are... More

I must say that I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews on this site, and I didn't go into my long weekend expecting much. Not to discredit what others have stated...everyone has their own experience, but mine was FLAWLESS!!! Gorgeous spacious room, excellent service, easy to get to...I don't have a single complaint (well...coffee available in... More

I've stayed here a few times taking advantage of the "stay and play" rate in conjunction with the Newport Grand Casino across the street. The rooms have been clean and comfortable. The shower in the room I had this time was terrific. There was an old-fashioned large tube t.v. which could use updating to a flat screen. There were many... More

For about a third of the cost of other area accomodations, The Mainstay Inn was clean and comfortable. We had a suite, and it was great for two adults and two teens. We did have to drive to town but it was only about 5 minutes away. I would definitely stay here again. Breakfast one morning was excellent too. Highly... More

This property is in SERIOUS need of a renovation. The hallways are gloomy and dingy, and the rooms are inconsistent in quality. Mine was on the second floor and was pleasant enough, but the friends I was with had one on the first floor and it was much older. The main issue with this hotel though is the walls are... More

We stayed for 2 nights during the Newport Winter Festival in mid February. The room rate was $53 a night and we had a very large room with 2 double beds, a pull out sofa, refrigerator, and microwave. The room was very clean. The beds were fine for 2 nights of sleeping. There wasn't much to the hotel but a... More

My wife and myself like to go on mini vacations without going over any bridges. Of all the hotels on Aquidnech Island the Mainstay Inn has always been our favorite. It has a great bar/resteraunt with lots of great food and a diversified menu. The staff were just incredible and saw to our every need. The room was large, comfortable... More

We had orign.ally booked 2 nights here, but both of us were sick & couldn't complete the drive from Quebec City, so we called at the last minute to let them know we would arrive a day late. We knew that we would pay for the missed night, but we didn't have a choice. We arrived after driving through a... More
