Unbelievable that the wifi service was sooo weak and spotty for the amount that this hotel charges - it seems they take for granted that most guests are there for a wedding - and therefore have no choice but to stay there regardless of the inconveniences … For everyone else, they should stay elsewhere

We were put in a room that adjoined with another random guest and could hear every little thing even when they weren’t being particularly loud. We were kept up all hours of the night because you can hear every single thing. Even them peeing in the bathroom sounded like they were in our room. Past midnight and up at 6 it was terrible.

spending the night in a Newport mansion
The hotel was formerly a summer "cottage" in Newport, a perfect place to stay after touring some of the other "cottages" like the Breakers & The Elms. It's primarily an ocean-front wedding venue, although we had the place almost entirely to ourselves on a Mon-Tu stay. Wonderful old mansion, very friendly staff.

Disappointed
The hotel room lacked proper A/C. I turned the room unit on but it was to loud to keep running all night. The only positive comment I have regarding our visit would be for the view. The view from the lawn was exceptional!

This is definitely a wedding hotel. If you're not staying for a wedding it's beautiful but it's not the best option. The mattress was terrible, there wasn't anything in the room to sit on to put your shoes on. The staff wasn't in the front desk for 15 mins when I was trying to check in. The views in the back are wonderful, but I wouldn't stay there again.

The hotel is a vintage hotel which was interesting but because of that it was basic. The room was clean but a bit cramped and the overall facility needs some updates. There were no need issues but a small hotel there were extras beyond a simple clean room. The location is beautiful but remote to Newport proper. There are weddings every day but they shut down at promptly 11:00. Most of the property seems to be dedicated to the weddings so there is little try public space or grounds. Signage would be a simple upgrade for the property, even the room numbers were hard to read. Overall a beautiful, smaller, older feeling hotel; a bit Faulty Towers in a way but most of the facility and staff are concentrated on the rental, wedding venue.

Super cute place. Very quiet - maybe because it was during the week. A little confusing to find the place. Would have been nice to have an onsite restaraunt.

This is more about the wedding venue than it is a hotel for other guests. Wedding parties are their bread & butter but not other guests and us as guests get that vibe. The bar and restaurant was closed for a private party so no accommodations for others and at over $350 a night, not worth it

Ocean Cliff Hotel was a gem of a find! We absolutely loved it! The views were spectacular!! It’s a very short drive to the lighthouse / another gem of a find! And the sunset there was magnificent!! We ended up having dinner there - which was delicious! Breakfast was included, lots of options, and you couldn’t beat the views of Narragansett Bay! We will definitely be going back!!!

It was a remarkable location and is a destination venue for anyone who wants to be in one of the most beautiful places on earth and where you can relax and enjoy yourself sitting on the lawn watching the sailboats cruise on Narragansett Bay! Don’t pass up this jewel!

It is an historic building which is cool, until they have a wedding and you can hear and feel the vibrations of the music in your room until late at night. If you sleep deeply and don't have to be up early then you are all set. Didn't seem to have any quiet hours as we were woken up by guests screaming in the halls. Stayed there to be close to the start of the Newport 10 miler so wasn't thrilled with the quality of sleep I was able to get before the race. The grounds are gorgeous though.
