I spent 3 nights here and the people who own it are very fullof themselves. In the name of history the place is gloomy and unwelcoming. There are rules and regulations everywhere and if you are on the third floor you will need to be fit! In fact there is a rule book provided. It is an awkward and uncomfortable... More

Oh I just love responding to vague reviews. Well aside from the fact, this group of UK guests were very aloft and quiet, I do not have much to say because they all seemed so nice. I actually quite liked her friends staying downstairs. Her friends splurged and got a big room while she went frugal with the small room... More

My husband and I spent a wonderful weekend at the Architect Inn in Newport, Rhode Island. The Inn is gorgeous, just filled to delight with amazing antiques. The breakfast was luscious, and Nick and Brian were charming and gracious. We will definitely go back again and hopefully often! Jean And Norm Standring.

Found this gem on-line while looking for an affordable off season get-away. Rather than book on-line, I called directly and had a great conversation with Nick, one of the two owners. The Inn was gorgeous and still beautifully decorated from the Christmas holidays. We were greeted by Brian who was a attentive to all of our needs. We took a... More

Finally getting around to reviewing my visit to this perfect little jewel of a B&B. Where I can understand it may not be everyone's 'cup of tea', my new husband and I appreciated the ambiance, location and gracious hosts.We took a stealthy 3 day stay during the third week of August. We stayed in the Belmont room located on the... More

We had a lousy time here. Location is a little more out of the way than expected - a problem in poor weather. The rooms were not as advertised - one on the second floor and one on the third. The third floor is the equivalent of a motel - just because furniture is old doesnt make it antique. An... More

I do not know what to say. Some people just do not get along with me especially if they behave the way these guests did. I wear my heart on my sleeve sometimes and these guests were just not the friendly sort of people you want in a framed picture on your nightstand. They say first impressions are important but...

I could not resist the temptation to book a room at the fabulous Architects Inn on Old Beach Road. I had walked past it on several occasions during earlier visits to Newport without realizing its importance or significance in the history and construction of early Newport. As soon as I discovered that it was the former residence of George Champlin... More

Newport would just not be the same if it wasn't for the Architect Inn. Not only is it a great value and perfectly located, the house is maticulously maintained and preserved like it was frozen in time. The decor is true to its surrounding and is beyond comfortable.

We just had an awesome stay here and will definitely be back. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and this ended up working out perfectly. It was an easy walk to the downtown area.

From the beginning, the Architects Inn has a perk that quite a few B&B's in Newport RI don't have ... PARKING. Upon walking into the Inn, you step back in time, but comfort is never compromised! Finding a comfortable bed while traveling can be an issue, but it was not at Architects Inn. The mattress was just perfect and everything... More

Loved this place. The owners are perhaps the most advanced innkeepers I have ever seen. Constant contact up to the moment of arrival ensures there is an opportunity to book mansion walks, attend special events or just get advice about dining. Our room, which was up in the converted attic, was comfortable, cheery and decorated to a T. The inn... More
