About this property

NEWPORT INN #1 - NO CLEANING FEES!! FREE PARKING!! WALK TO GAMES AND CONCERTS!!

No cleaning or parking fees!

Second floor suite with two large bedrooms! Prefect for a family or 2 couples!

We are a legal "VRBO", with a 98% Five Star Rating! Maintained Premier and Super Host Status every quarter since opening in 2016!

Terri Smith and Jeff Zemanek had a vision to create a small boutique hotel allowing guest to experience the best of Historic Newport.

The Newport Inn is a circa 1880's historic building, located at 634 Monmouth St., close to restaurants, family activities, great views, nightlife, sporting events (20-minute walk for a ballgame), river fronts in Newport and downtown Cincinnati. You’ll love the ambiance, the people, the outdoors space, the lively neighborhood. Make sure to check out Newport on the Levee with live music, comedy clubs, and a world class aquarium. Seasonal Ghost Tours, as well as Gangster Tours will give you a historic perspective of this quaint town!

There are two newer music venues, MegaCorp and Brady just blocks away!!

This particular suite is great for two couples to explore the city and nightlife, or for families taking in games, the aquarium, tours, concerts, REDS, Bengals, and more!

This 900 sqft, second floor suite is a 2 BR (King Serta i-Comfort beds) with a non-working fireplace in each, and a large walk-in shower. Located just a few blocks from the Ohio River, we are located right in the heart of the historic district in a beautiful turn of the century building. If you would also like to experience the big city, a walk or shuttle ride to downtown Cincinnati creates a whole new dimension. The end result is a luxurious stay, which combines the best of both worlds.

Jeff's career led him to spending many nights in hotels and not always satisfied by what he found. When we decided to build an inn, there were criteria which had to be met: 1. Great beds! 2. Great shower! 3. Variety of pillows! 4. Peace and quiet! 5. Free Wi-Fi! 6. HD TVs with HD signal! 7. Outside area to relax! 8. A full kitchen to make it feel like home! Lastly, a friendly staff who is there to help with recommendations or whatever is needed to make it a special stay!!

Red Bikes is a block away to rent.

PRIVATE PARKING LOT INCLUDED for two cars, and is directly behind the inn!

Lastly, come and visit our Urban Chick Bar and Bottle Shop on the first floor!

You must be 21 years of age to book!

Smoking is NOT allowed! $250 FINE!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Loved the location, so close to Newport Levee area and to Cincinnati. Appreciated having a parking space since that’s always a struggle in other cities I’ve visited. Wish we had stayed at least another night here. Would definitely consider staying here again if we are visiting this area again. Also, hosts were great with communicating and responded immediately to all messages. Very clean house and nice sized kitchen area. Would highly recommend this location!

I stay in a lot of VRBO rentals. This listing was very accurate. The communication with owner was good and the apt was exactly as described. The beds were super comfortable and the unit was clean. I wish the cleaning staff had a way to leave a QR code for a tip, as we didn't have cash and left very early. We had no issues during our stay and would rec this place to others.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Zemanek and Terri Smith

Host profile image
Terri loves wine and loves to cook. Jeff loves sports and music. Both love traveling and meeting interesting people and places. We grew up in the suburbs of Cincinnati and moved to the urban environment of Newport and love it!

Why they chose this property

The location is perfect...walking distance to museums, music venues, great restaurants and bars. After the building being in Terri's family for the last 40 years, we bought it and put a boutique (Urban Chick) on the first floor. Our timing was perfect as the city is going through an amazing renaissance! We then decided to add The Newport Inn above the boutique and the rest is history. Newport has an interesting history...most of it infamous. It was Vegas before there was Vegas. All that has changed now, but the history remains a colorful part of your stay.

What makes this property unique

We offer private parking, no cleaning fees, sipping and shopping at Urban Chick Boutique Wine and Bourbon Bar, located below. As well as a concierge service!
It's a beautiful walking neighborhood with many things to do and enjoy. If you love beautiful homes and buildings built in the 1850's to 1920, this is the place to take in the architecture from this wonderful era. Don't forget our wine and bourbon bar!!
