My husband and I stayed at Jailhouse Inn this weekend - and what a nice experience it was. The Innkeeper was soooo pleasant and welcoming. The room was VERY clean - and comfortable - with 5 pillows, nice big flat screen TV, great soap in bathroom, strong A/C (like we like!), and location is perfect so you don't need your... More

My fiance and I stayed at the Jailhouse Inn for three nights in April. I was not sure when making my reservations exactly what night we would be checking in because my fiance was sailing a boat back from the Bahamas and arrival time had many factors. Sharon was SO wonderful and accommodating and worked with me to insure a... More

We went to RI in the fall. If you can handle the brisk weather, it is a great time to go. Since it was off season there was no crowd. The Inn is a perfect location. Practically everything is a short walk away. Parking-no problem,right in front of the inn. The Inn itself is charming. If you are a history... More

We stayed at the Jailhouse Inn this summer for 2 nights to celebrate my birthday. We are not especially picky travelers and we both really enjoyed this cute inn. Its clean, they are very friendly and it’s a great location. Its close enough to Thames Street and all the restaurants to walk but not too much in the thick of... More

Stayed here with my boyfriend in July 2011 for a birthday getaway and we really loved it. We wrote a glowing review in their guestbook! The place is a lovely historic building which makes it all the more exciting to visit. The gardens were beautiful with flowers overflowing everywhere. The location is great - close to town but far enough... More

Stayed at the Jailhouse Inn over the weekend. A wonderful inn with a great inn keeper, Sharon. Rooms are spacious. We were on the second floor. Tastefully decorated, modern furniture. I liked ithat it was off the main area of attractions, so it was a little less noisy. We didn't eat breakfast there. Only issues, beds were hard, though lots... More

If you arrive not expecting 5 star service and accommodation then you will not be disappointed. What you will get is a very warm welcome, clean, spacious rooms and a well positioned place to stay in the interesting town/city of Newport. Breakfast is simple but adequate and the setting of an old jailhouse complete with steel cage/cell doors still hanging... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights at the Jailhouse. The staff at the front desk were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable...I loved the huge bathroom with plenty of natural light. Breakfast was ample and varied...it always irks me to see other cheap guests pilfering all the accoutrements from the breakfast buffet to make their lunch sandwiches... More

Stayed in this hotel recently for a business/pleasure trip. As other have mentioned, it's more like a 2.5-star hotel than an inn. The location is fantastic and there is a small lot where guests can park free. The decor is basic and a little frayed; the beds are extremely firm; the blinds don't block out the light; the continental breakfast... More
