We were here in off-season (December) so we saw little resort activity, which we expected given the time of year. However, it was perfect. The units are large, well provisioned (no stove, which was fine with me), great view of the harbor, gorgeous sunsets and so comfortable! Walking distance to most places, local transit somewhat workable and taxis very reasonable.... More

The Wellington is the perfect location when staying in Newport. Far enough from downtown to be quiet even during the busiest season and close enough to walk to restaurants and shopping. Staff is courteous, helpful and check-in and check-out is smooth and easy. We are owners of a timeshare at The Wellington. Only once in all our years of ownership... More

The property was very old. We were only there for the night, got in late and left by 9:00 A.M. It is a timeshare property. If you are thinking about staying in a hotel, this is not it. The first room we were sent to we could not get in. There was a screaming baby in an adjoining suite, the... More

Beautiful condos right on the harbor. It has a little wear but is being updated. The location is perfect with easy walking to shopping and restaurants. We rented through VRBO and were not disappointed. Nice swimming pool and exercise facility. Would be wonderful for a family as we felt we had almost too much space. More

From the first phone call to the checkout, the service was unbelievable! The ladies working the front office, Marcia, Angela, and Allie accommodated our every need. I recommend looking into renting a suite, they were great size and very comfortable. The resort is conveniently located in walking distance to everything you need to see or do in Newport. Over all,... More

We stayed at the Wellington for a girls' weekend. The suite was lovely, spacious and clean. The registration staff was helpful and gracious as we were in the midst of a hurricane. I definitely recommend the Wellington if you want a nice place for a large group in Newport within walking distance to shops and restaurants. More

Hard to concur with the rave reviews. Just got back from staying at a 2 bedroom 2 bath in building 5 for which we were charged nearly 650 per night for a family of 4. The carpets were dated for starters with a bathtub (master suite) that spilled copious amounts of water onto the bathroom floor no matter how the... More
