I liked the hotel, but I did not like that I was charged $28 when I left for amenities that I am not aware of. I should’ve been told that at check in.

Overpriced and Underwhelming: Disappointing Stay
I recently stayed at the Wayfinder Newport with a large group, and unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to expectations or justify the high cost. While it’s clear they’ve done some renovations, the property still has the feel of an old, worn-down motel, and the updates seem only partial. Our group was split between rooms, with some in renovated spaces and others in outdated, musty rooms with old, dirty carpets. The rooms lack basic amenities like drawers or closets – a setup that might work for a quick stay, but for longer visits, the “Moxy-style” approach of keeping everything in your suitcase just doesn’t cut it. WiFi didn’t work any of the nights, and our AC broke down, which made it uncomfortable, especially since there was no phone in the room to call for assistance. We had to use our cell phones to contact the front desk, which, in fairness, was helpful, but it still added to the frustration. Overall, this property feels overpriced for what it offers, and I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s simply not worth it, especially if you’re planning an extended stay.

2/10 Poor

Newport stay
Firstly, my travel partner was sick with COVID and could not make it. I found this out early Sunday morning with only a few hours before check in. Although I knew it was a long shot I did call your hotel to see if it was possible to cancel or reschedule the reservation. I was told it was too late to do so; therefore, I decided to come on my own. Upon arrival at 4pm sharp I was told my room would not be ready for a while and asked if I could come back later. I found this a little irritating since only a few hours earlier I was told it was too late to cancel, but I should just be ok with having to check into my room late? I came back around 6pm and was able to check in. Secondly, upon arriving at my room I started to relax and turn on the television. However, every channel was snowy and the sound was altered. I went through each channel and found that it was all of them. I was only staying overnight so I did not bring a laptop or computer so I was stuck without television for the remainder of the night. I called the front desk and was told it was every TV, not just my room otherwise I would have asked to change rooms. Lastly, and the bulk of my problem was what was in the fridge. I opened the refrigerator to put in my water and there was a plastic bag with 2 filled syringes. Both needles were filled with liquid and unlabeled. I had assumed someone left their medication behind, but for the staff not to find it while cleaning the room is unacceptable.

Friendly staff, comfy bed, but dont expect to get
Really nice room with a really comfy bed, and the staff were very friendly helpful. My problem is the how loud the rooms are - dont expect to get much sleep which is sad because the beds are so comfy. Our room was on the ground floor, the person in the room above above us was walking about constantly (no exaggeration it sounded like an elephant was up there) until midnight and then started doing it again at 5 am - this may seem like a silly thing to complain about but it was so loud that we couldnt sleep.

I was a regular at The Wayfinder prior to their fire years ago, totally upset when they weren’t open this is my first time back and it’s better than ever. I’m actually booking for next May to be there as well. It is definitely my go to when I go to Newport. It’s convenient to Newport off the bridge it’s right there is excellent front desk. I’ve never had a problem. We highly recommend this hotel to anybody traveling to Newport.

Found 4 hairs in my bed, obviously not mine since they were long (i have short hair) and was in the room alone. Just gross. Also it’s so obviously a converted old motel, just minimal cosmetic changes.
