Good hotel, great restaurant

Seems like a motel that has had a makeover, but a nice one though. Just stayed one night but got to enjoy the pool area and the restaurant at night. The food and service was great at the hotel restaurant.

Enjoyable stay for Newport Jazz Festival

We stayed there for the Newport Jazz Festival. The hotel doesn't look fancy on the outside but once you are inside, it gives a little bit of posh and whimsy. The staff is really friendly however there is limited staff during quietier times (before 8am etc...). The restaurant is pretty good and the bartenders are really on top of things. We enjoyed our room which faced the pool. Enjoyable stay.

Cleanliness was amazing! Getting to the room was a bit of a walk but other than that, the stay was great!
Rafael, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Needs attention

There was very little hot water, no bar soap as an exception. AC had to work too hard. AND the door to the room didn't close; it had to be forced!
Renee, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

hotel seemed understaffed but was managing best they could. Rooms didn't have dressers in them which i did think was weird, no one where to put your clothes except live out of suitcases. BUT super easy location, not a far drive from town at all. cute pool area
sara, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at The Wayfinder was excellent. Staff were incredibly nice and so helpful. It was a great location and a very quick ride to downtown. We are incredibly thankful for a pet friendly hotel so our fur baby can come on vacation with us. The hotel and rooms were very clean with very unique and memorable style. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Newport.

Uncomfortable mattress. Old bathroom.

Mattress was extremely uncomfortable. Very firm. Bathroom could use some remodeling & dispensers in shower for shampoo was empty. Obviously maid service had not filled in awhile.

This was our first trip to Newport, the Wayfinder was an excellent choice for our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice. We enjoyed some time at the pool, and enjoyed breakfast at the Little Clam restaurant. The location was very convenient. We definitely plan on returning.
