Newport, RI

 

Lodging

We stayed at Newport Beach Hotel & Suites. I’d recommend the Hotel Viking as another option that I would try if I went back.

Parking

Parking in Newport can get expensive! Look up parking in advance - there are lots of cheap parking lots like the one on Mary Street and street parking on Thames Street, and they’re much cheaper than options closer to the water.
