Harbor Base Inn

We especially liked the location. This was our very first visit to Newport and we were willing to learn where to go. We also really like the mattresses on our beds (soft enough yet also firm enough), the strong wireless internet connection, the hot, hot water out of the shower, and the great TV. We especially enjoyed having windows that opened, allowing fresh air to enter our room w/o having to turn on the A/C. Our room had convenient electric outlets. This is a great feature for us because my wife needs to plug in her CPAP. Our room looked to be recently refreshed. No dings or stains or leaks were noted. We liked it that parking was convenient and that the motel was set back far enough that road noise was no issue.

The Harbor base is a modest and very clean motel, with good sized rooms,microwave and nice refrigerator in each. Housekeeping services were provided daily. Coffee and tea were available each day( no breakfast). Staff/owner were helpful, friendly and available. We had easy access to the transportation center and free trolleys around Newport. We could walk to the excellent Coddingtom Brewery and the Newport Craft Beer and Distillery was also near-by.

This location is very convenient to New Port. The room has two FULL size beds, we new that and it worked great for us. There are great food options very near Blue Plate diner is great, grocery shopping and a Dollar tree. The room had a microwave and a mini fridge. There was a free trolley/ bus #67 and 68 free from May to October 31 and if you ride it and validate your parking it is only 2.00 to park. Hop on and off all day and avoid the parking fees and traffic. You can ride past the mansions and get the feel of the town, hop off to do the cliff walk but be aware there is no getting off once you start, you may want to walk and then turn around and go back to where you started. The staff isn't hands on and could be it was October and the season was at an end.

.Nice staff. Great price in a very expensive area. Nice bathroom and TV with variety of channels. Contractors unwinding outside till about 10pm but they followed the 10pm directive for quiet time.

Very convenient, modestly priced motel, near Newport. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Average but perfectly adequate amenities, good value for money, great for a short stay. Would definitely return if in need of a place to stay for a night or two near Newport.
