Positive Reviews
positive:
Historic beauty and grace.
The building's general design and atmosphere evokes a sense of history and elegance, with most of its interior keeping brick masonry and wood elements alive and well. The views from the rooftop area also allow you to glimpse some of Newport's history in surrounding buildings and waterfront districts.
positive:
Spacious guest areas.
The suites on offer from Mill Street Inn are some of the largest and most furnished options in Newport. The open layout and contemporary feeling in these suites will leave you plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the building's modern style, while also taking advantage of the mill's former expansiveness.
positive:
Excellent location.
Mill Street Inn is just a short walk from the majority of Newport's lauded shops, galleries, and historic sites, making it one of the best hub spots for tourists. Even if you're looking to explore the countryside, you'll find it easy to access main roads around the inn.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Lack of elevators.
Due to the inn's older design, there are no elevators in the building. This can pose a problem for guests with mobility issues, and if you need to use an elevator to reach your floors in most cases, consider calling ahead to book a room on the ground floor.
negative:
Limited breakfast quantities.
Mill Street Inn prepares most of its breakfasts in a timely and sizeable manner, but be warned that if you arrive too late to the cut-off point, you may not be able to eat much. The inn prepares enough food for the majority of guests, which means stragglers often don't have their first choice.
negative:
Outdated bathrooms.
The bathroom units in Mill Street Inn are serviceable, but seem out of place when matched against the contemporary and polished look of the building's other areas. A simple round of renovation would remedy this issue easily, however.
