We had a nice stay here. The food is not gourmet as many mention here. But it is nice. The house is pleasant, totally remodeled so that from outside it doesn't look like a historic inn . Inside is very pretty and well-kept. Maybe some of the rooms' bathrooms are spa-like, ours wasn't. But we liked our room (Murray) -... More

Thank you for you comments. It's always good to hear constructive criticism. On one note you say your room was small and in another sentence you praise it. Yes, you did take advantage of our 30% off promotion and chose the least expensive room. The Murray room is a sweet room - our smallest out of 5- but it has... More

This was out first time at The Hilltop Inn and it will Not be our last! Everything was wonderful from the second we walked in the front door. I am one tough cookie ( look at my past reviews) and this inn was impressive. I do have to say its on the expensive side but with an Innkeeper and chef... More

We have stayed at Hilltop 6 or 7 times over the years and recently stayed several nights in the Bellevue Suite at a significantly discounted promotional rate. The suite is extremely spacious and comfortable with a small patio, large living room (with sofa, chair and desk), bedroom with king bed, bathroom with extra large shower and whirlpool tub, closet with...

Our stay at the Hilltop Inn was a gift to us from our children who had stayed here before. What a great gift. This gem was the perfect get-away. Everything about the Hilltop was perfect. Janet is a warm and welcoming innkeeper. Not only are her breakfasts homemade-delicious and served in the delightful sunroom, but also the daily afternoon tea... More

This is our 3rd stay at Hilltop inn. We always enjoy our stay here... Great room, attention to detail, goodies and tidbits in afternoon, great breakfast. We come here to relax and enjoy our time in our room as much as exploring Newport. We were dissapointed at first that we couldn't receive the 30% discount being offered weeks after we... More

I cannot say enough good things about this Inn. Janet is fantastic and the hospitality we were shown was astounding. The food is incredible. Our day started with awesome breakfasts then had great baked goods with afternoon tea and ends with snacks left out for the guests in the evening. The rooms are gorgeous and very well kept. This was... More

The Hilltop Inn made us feel as if we were wealthy homeowners rather than merely tourists. The inn was wonderful, with great breakfasts, tasty teas and an evening port when we returned home. The room was charming, with jacuzzi as well as shower. The bathroom even had a television set. We were well taken care of by Bianca who made... More

Everything was perfect. The elegant interior, beautiful bedroom, romantic jacuzzi tub, delicious tea and breakfast, the comfy bed, and the warm innkeepers. We had a delightful stay and can't wait to come back.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Everything about the Inn evokes a natural impulse to sit and be comfortable, to feel welcomed. Hilltop enjoys the best location in the city: at the outset of Bellevue Avenue, two blocks from the bustling wharves, historic Washington Square and artsy Broadway, the Inn stands proudly in a grand turn-of-the-century residential neighborhood. Hilltop is just down the street from the Tennis Hall of Fame, the Redwood Library and the Newport Art Museum. This is Newport at its heart. ... more   less
