Wedding party was from 5:30 to 8:30 pm but the loud noises and music continued until after 11:00 pm. No response from staff or management. Had to resort to calling the police.

OceanCliff is a beautiful property with stunning views of the Newport Bridge—that’s the highlight. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience fell short. Our Queen room was very basic, reminiscent of a college dorm, and located directly above the kitchen. By 7 AM, loud music coming from the kitchen made it impossible to sleep in. We also had a poor experience at the on-site restaurant. After a polite greeting, the hostess Rae seemed annoyed with us for no reason. Though we asked to sit outside on a beautiful, empty evening at 5 PM, we were told the tables were reserved. Eventually, we were moved outside, but when we left around 6:30, the outdoor tables were still unoccupied—clearly, they were never actually reserved. To top it off, one of us got food poisoning. And at checkout, no one even asked how our stay was—which is usually standard. It just reinforced the feeling that OceanCliff doesn’t care about guest experience. Between the rude service, early morning noise, and questionable food, we won’t be returning. A pretty view isn’t enough to make up for poor hospitality.

It was very disappointing the first night there was a wedding and it was so loud and filled with people who had too much to drink, we couldnt sleep. The next night it was too quiet the bar and the restaurant was closed. Staff never said hello or good evening.

It’s a historic hotel, so it does not feel like a new or updated hotel, which is not a bad thing! Very clean and has a beautiful view. Bed was comfortable. There is only 21 rooms or so, so it is very quiet but the walls are thin - easy to hear people in the hallway. The restaurant was closed while we were there (which is odd since we were there on season). About a 10 - 15 minute drive to downtown Newport.

The only staff we had contact with was the front desk. They were cordial. No staff available in the breakfast area -toaster was not plugged in so it wasn’t working. Refrigerator in room cycled on and off and the bed was creaky.

Hotel is very dated and not well maintained. Room was clean but carpets were old and dingy The hotel was so so so so loud. Our room was apparently above the kitchen where there started yelling, playing music and banging pots and pans at 8:00am. You could hear clearly loud announcements like “one order of calamari”. We called the front desk to ask about the noise and the gentleman we spoke with made it seem like it was no big deal and the only solution offered was to move to different room which was apparently more noisy? So that was confusing. The doors had visible gaps along the top and sides and you can hear everything happening in the hotel and through the windows. To cap it off there were wedding two nights we were there, due to the age and lack of noise insulation the hotel really needs to let guests know when they are booking that they should expect noise until 12. We wanted a nice relaxing beach hotel and this was sadly not that. There was one really nice and helpful lady at the front desk.

Loved the old orginal building. Our room was large in a quite side of the building. The room phone didn't work, had the maintenance person check it, but it wasn't changed out with a working phone. Each time we used our cell phone and left messages at the front desk for help, the staff never received the messages. There was no maid service to replenish supplies.

It's like staying in a castle.

The facility is beautiful with a view of the water. The staff was friendly and everything was clean. There was no elevator but staff is willing to help with bags if you need it. I really enjoyed the facility and the area.
