My husband and I spent the weekend there and greatly enjoyed it. We had a third floor suite with a decent view of the beach. It also had a small balcony. While it was not huge, it did have a separate living room with the TV, fridge, sofa, and loveseat - plenty of room for us. It was spotlessly clean... More

Rhea's is definitely a great find. We were in Newport for a wedding and didn't want to pay $$$$$$$$$ to stay at the Ocean Drive venue. This was a perfect alternative; reasonable price, convenient location to town, accommodating owner, breakfast included (bagels, cereal, yogurt, fruit, coffee, etc.), spacious and, most importantly, very clean rooms.The Inn is located right on a...

We recently returned from spending four nights at Rhea's. The location is perfect: away from the crowds, yet close to the beach and the Cliffwalk. Some restaurants are nearby if you are too tired or have cranky children and don't want to go into Newport proper. The rooms were very clean, pleasantly cool and the breakfast was adequate. Most of... More

We have stayed here before and enjoy the great location near beaches and Newport. The rooms are very clean and the continental breakfast had many options to chose from including bread,bagels,muffins, English muffins, and assortment of cold cereals, yogurts, oatmeal, cereal bars, coffee, juice, and fruits- all that was missing was the eggs! Tony was very friendly and accomodating and... More

We stayed at Rhea's for only one night but I would definately recommend it to my friends and family. The rooms were very clean and comfortable but that's not what made the stay so great. What made the stay great is people like Tony who was there at check in and out and whenever else we needed anything. When we... More

We were looking for a spot that was near the beach and close to Newport. The room was very clean and the options to choose from for breakfast was more then what we asked for. It is only steps from the beach, local bars, and restaurants. We will definitely book this place again when we return to Newport next summer.

Rhea's was just what we wanted, a clean place to stay in the Newport area for a reasonable price. The property is a an old house made into a modern motel and was very clean and well maintained. Furniture, linens, carpeting all seemed almost new. There were lots of choices for a quick breakfast and nobody minded if some fruit... More

This is nothing fancy.. just a clean bed and bathroom across the street from the beach. It saves you the cost of parking the car at the beach (which is $20 on weekends). The breakfast was perfectly fine, and out all day for a quick snack.Air conditioning was so great, i was actually cold. The comfort Inn (2 doors down)... More

We were delighted to find rooms available in Newport are for Labor Day when I called two days ahead. Hurricane Irene had just come through and our plans to stay at a family beach house in the area changed.
