    Loved everything!

    Property is centrally located to major attractions in and around Newport. Close proximity to the beach and Cliff Walk. The room was immaculate and had all the basics for a comfortable stay. The owners were super friendly and readily available to answer any questions. The outdoor seating was a nice addition to enjoy sunsets.

    Incrediable Sunsets, two beaches with-in walking distance, and wonderful hosts, outstanding value.

    The room's wall's are not sound proofed, so you can hear people who are chatty during the night, but everyone quieted down around 10 PM , so it wasn't really an issue.

    The Motel was exceptionally clean and well cared for. The property is owner occupied, very kind and friendly couple. The locations was very close to the beaches. The property strattles the city lines the Middletown and Newport, the Newport First (1st Beach) was about 300 yards distance from the Motel, and the Newport Cliff walk was less than 1 mile walking distance from the Motel. Places to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, were all within walking distance. The 2nd Beach in Middletown is about a 1.5 mile way, and Sachuset Point is less than 2 miles away. The Sunset from the Sea Whale Motel was extraordinarily beautiful.

    It’s a 1950’s motel. It’s basic. There was nothing I didn’t like.

    Quant little 1950’s hotel. Very clean, nice staff, near beach.

    Not necessary a dislike, it is what I expected, a "dated"- that is the keyword- motel, that is well kept up, clean, convenient location. would rent from again.

    Good value, great location for our needs.

    Room last night very large for two queen beds. But it was ample and had a refrigerator with the freezer and microwave, a small table for eating, with two chairs, and a writing desk.

    This was one of the nicest motels I have ever stayed in. It was immaculately cleaned, with a huge supply of towels, updated bathroom, near both beaches, and Newport attractions, and had a fantastic sunset view

    Room was a little small, but had everything we could ask for. Our time there was too short!!

    The owner/manager was very nice and helpful — referred us to a great restaurant two blocks away. Beautiful view of the sea and sunset from our room. Lots of clever and thoughtful amenities. Very charming place. Wish we could have stayed longer.

    AC was noisy and not very efficient. Could maybe consider updating a few of the soft furnishings such as bed linen and towels to a higher quality and carpets and curtains to brighten the room a little as it has lovely classic hardwood furniture it could emphasis more.

    Great location, both owners were very welcoming and helpful. Rooms were spacious, well equipped with microwave and fridge/freezer and had a nice view. Nothing fancy about the rooms as they are older style but everything you need for a visit.

    Only thing that would have made it better would be a couple of grills out back in the picnic area. Would have been nice to grill out after coming back from beach.

    Excellent Little Motel. Very, very clean. It is small but everything was immaculate. Very quiet area that is close to a ton of Restaurants, Grocery Stores, Beaches and Newport. We took the ferry to Block Island for the day which was a 10 min drive. Awesome location. Very friendly owners that were very accommodating. Ice machine on site to fill your coolers for the beach. Beautiful Sunset in back yard! Can't beat the price.
