Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area, Middletown

Great hotel for a long...

Liked: Indoor pool and breakfast buffet were absolutely winners for my family. Very spacious rooms. Comfortable beds. Affordable and location good to be in Newport but not in the busiest part.
Disliked: Nothing. We had a great stay.

Nice location and facility, but...

Liked: The rooms were nice, and the breakfast had a lot of options as well. The location was convenient.
Disliked: We were placed in a small section of the facility, that allowed for pets. We were not traveling with pets. We were unable to get a restful night sleep each night we were there due to the loud pet noises in rooms close by. I contacted the front desk staff, to inquire about what to do with the pet noise. They didn’t even check to see if another room was available, only that they were probably full. I was also told “that’s what dogs do”, when discussing the loud barking at 12:30/1:00 am.

Exceptional

excellent accommodation and great place...

Liked: This was a very nice hotel, with a big room and comfortable beds. The room had a fridge freezer and a microwave. In the hotel lobby there was a coffee/tea maker machine which you could use any time of the day. The breakfast was excellent (usually something warm things: e.g. scrambled eggs/sausage or bacon) and yoghurts and toast and waffles and fruit). Staff was very friendly. There was a nice restaurant just around the entrance (less than 1 min walk). It is an excellent place to visit Newport. Easiest is to take the bus (no 60) that stops at the petrol station across the road and costs 2 dollars per trip (cash needed, staff at the hotel changed some fivers for us into 1 dollars) . I can certainly recommend this place as it is also excellent value for money.

Very good

Liked: The was a small private patio off of our room. They had a pool, hot tub and fitness center. The room, bathroom and bedding were clean. It would have been perfect if the carpet which smelled a little musty was removed and replaced with lament it would be perfect.
Disliked: The musty smell of the carpet was the only problem. There was a dehumidifier in the room that the housekeeper said would decrease the smell (that comes from their humid summers) but it didn’t help much. If the carpet was removed and replaced with laminate flooring, it would fix this problem.
