Newport Inn #5 - Walk to Levee and Downtown Cincinnati/REDS! Parking Included!!

My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to go to Newport/Cincinnati for our anniversary. After searching through multiple prospective places to stay we decided to choose Newport because it was a bit cheaper than Cincy, and we liked tha charm of the city. Plus, with just a quick drive/walk over the bridge(s) you were in Cincinnati. The owners were extremely accommodating and gave perfect instructions to get to the property and what to do when you got there. Entering the room it was exactly (if not more) what I was expecting. I loved the look of it with the hardwood floors, the huge ceilings, the brick walls, the small kitchen equipped with sink, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and mini fridge. There were even light snacks and several drinks at no charge in our room. A great touch! My favorite thing about the place was the bathroom. Lol! That shower. I absolutely loved it. Made me want to build a roomy one just like it at my own house with rain showerhead and all.

My only two complaints (and they are minute) would be the bed and the noise coming from the people upstairs. Everyone is used to their own bed at home and mine is a lot firmer. The bed at The Newport Inn was more like a pillow top. You sunk right in. I didn’t dislike it, but I didn’t love it. As far as the noise goes...we were woken up at 6:30am to a bunch of noise above us. It sounded like furniture was being dragged across the floor, a child kept running back and forth, big booms and thuds from items being dropped on the floor, lots of creaking, and you could hear them talking and the TV. Because the ceilings were so high and we had wood floors...everything was amplified x 10. None of this was the owner’s fault, and I would even somewhat expect noise in an older home like this, but not at 6:30 in the morning. Basically it was rude of the people above us. A wee bit of advice to individuals with small children...don’t get an upstairs room if you can help it. Be courteous to your neighbors. You can hear everything.

None of the small negatives would keep me from staying here again. Such a cool place! I’m so happy I found it on VRBO. Jeff was extremely helpful and I really appreciated his willingness to help with anything.

Great value close to downtown Cincy. Place was nicely done and comfortable. Great breakfast spots close by. Don't be scared away by funky neighborhood.

What a great place, really quaint, yet new era loft style. Walking distance to some great bars/restaurants and of course a neat little Urban Chic boutique. Don't miss the Green Derby, nice ambiance and friendly people, plus a little picture gallery of Newport's gangster past. The York Street Café is a great venue, with swing dancing on the second floor when we were in town. Bouquet in Covington is a wonderful farm to table restaurant and the Post(?) just down the street from The Newport Inn was a good find for breakfast on our departing morning.

Jeff and Terri were always right back with us on any emails or telephone calls, we couldn't have asked for any better hosts.

We didn't have a problem and hope to visit again soon.
