    Nothing! Everything met or exceeded our expectations. I will say, the rooms online looked a lot smaller than what they were in person. We had plenty of space to spread out.

    Our room was so clean and having towels refreshed every couple of days was fantastic. The owner was kind and had an abundance of recommendations for us during our stay. Great recommendations for food and entertainment. Would definitely stay here again.

    The inn was beautiful and very clean! The perfect stay in Newport. Location was walking distance to the waterfront and restaurants. Donna was very accommodating and gave us great recommendations for where to eat and what to visit. The inn is located in a beautiful home. Free parking was a plus!

    Donna was very nice and helpful each day of our stay from check in to check out. She gave wonderful information on where to eat and what to see in town. The breakfast was wonderful and the house is beautiful! Great location and parking space was key as we could walk into town and not pay for parking!

    The Inn is only a few blocks from the restaurants and shops at the waterfront. Parking was ample and free, so we left our car and walked through the charming neighborhood. The host, Donna, was so friendly and went a bit extra to accommodate our vegan food preferences. She took the time to describe the Tourist attractions and the best way to see them. Charming, historic decor

    Nothing, it was perfect.

    Hill Inn is a beautiful old B&B with loads of charm. The proprietors, Donna and Richard Karlovich, we’re very friendly and accommodating. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, pastries and quiche. The Inn’s location is easy walking distance to Newport’s waterside restaurants and shopping area. Ample parking is available on site. Note that parking is really tough to find and expensive in downtown Newport so plan on walking. We recommend Benjamin’s Raw Bar 3 blocks away to eat at. Terrific dinner. We can’t recommend Historic Hill Inn enough. Thank you!
