4 reviews for Jailhouse Inn
My boyfriend and I stayed here in June, they have a "two night midweek" package which included 2 nights in a standard room, 2 tickets to one of the mansions, 2 tickets to the Newport Vineyard for a tour and wine tasting, and a $60 voucher to the Clark Cooke House. It came out to be about $400 including taxes. The inn actually used to be a jailhouse back in the day, so you can still see the iron bars at the front desk, and some of the light fixtures look like they are from when it was still a jailhouse. Our room was very nice and spacious. I was worried that it would be kind of run down looking, but everything was very clean and the bathroom was modern. We had a window air conditioner which was nice because it was very hot while we were there.
A huge plus about this place is that they have parking! I hear that it can be quite a pain to park in Newport so this was very handy. The inn had a great location; only about a 5 minute walk to get to Thames Street. Our hotel package included continental breakfast, but we never ate there. They do have a nice little breakfast room set up for their guests.
I would definitely stay here again. The prices were reasonable, the location was perfect, and the king sized bed was very comfortable.
Oh, and if you like ghost stories, apparently the Jailhouse Inn is haunted. Guests have been known to feel a "presence" on the third floor. We were on the first floor so I didn't feel anything. But after I read that I was a little bit freaked out in my room at night.

We checked in and left within the hour......the room smelled bad and was
in poor shape but the bathroom was plainly not clean.
The whole place need a complete renovation and a thorough scrub.
Even though we explained(politely & tactfully) why we weren't staying, they charged us the full price anyway.
There are many lovely B & Bs in Newport at the same rate as the Jailhouse .

I stayed here this past weekend and had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was perfect and very clean, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was a little small, but not bad. The inn has great character from it's historic past, but has been nicely updated. Also, the location is right in the heart of Newport but on a quiet side street. The continental breakfast was great too.
My girlfriend booked a package where you got 2 nights lodging, 2 tickets to any mansion, 2 tickets to the vineyard, and a coupon for dinner at Clarke Cooke House. It was WELL worth the money spent. The accomodations at Jailhouse Inn were very comfortable. My only 2 complaints are that the wiring is old, so you can't have the a/c, iron, and TV all going at the same time -- and the fact that the recycling truck showed up at 8:00am on Thur morning (not fun with a hangover..lol..). Other than that, I would HIGHLY recommend this to friends, family, or even strangers.
