Club Wyndham Newport Overlook

We very much enjoyed our week At Newport Overlook. We had booked last Christmas week,and received a lovely unit overlooking the water and bridge. Our second visit was over Easter week. I was initially disappointed when we received another unit with no water view, but I actually really liked the unit we were in (unit 1). It was really nice and spacious. No upper deck, but a nice patio off the living room that looked out on a nice lawn and woods. You could walk down the lawn or driveway to see the water and the bridge. The unit was open and spacious with lots of light. The living room furniture was a bit dated, but in excellent condition and very comfortable. The sleep sofa was also very comfortable First floor bedroom was very large with two twin beds, bureau, and two double closets. Bathroom was nice and had cabinet with shelves on top and three drawers on bottom. Also double closets when you enter unit. So lots of storage space. There was also full size washer dryer. The kitchen, though small was workable, and I pulled off Easter dinner for six with no problems. There are not a lot of pots or pans, but I knew that before going so I brought a couple of my own and that wasn't a big deal for me. I did find the stove and dishwasher very much in need of replacement, but we made it work. Upstairs is a master loft, i think you would call it. Again large and spacious with King size bed, bureau, comfortable chair with lamp and double closets. Bathroom was nice We had a couple of problems when first there, but a text to Bri brought a rapid response from Michael in maintenance and both times Michael got everything working. Thank you both!!!Everyone at the front desk was wonderful. We saw someone different each time we popped in. Everyone made us feel very welcome! I found the unit in overall excellent condition and very clean. Sheets were very nice and we had ample towels. The area was very quiet and at the end of a beautiful residential road. Walking to the small downtown area is a nice walk. We had dinner at Jb’s on the water and The Beech restaurants. Both were wonderful. There is a small grocery store and liquor store on the island. A gas station, and should you need one, a hardware store. If you enjoy walking, there are some very beautiful streets to enjoy. I was able to walk 4 miles a day going in different directions. We drove a short ride to Point Judith, Westerly, Watch Hill, and Narragansett. Went over the bridge for the short ride to Newport where we went to the mansions and strolled the cliff walk. Had dinner at Tickets which i highly recommend. We had such a nice time, I hated to leave at the end of the week. I just loved Jamestown and look forward to going there again . Thank you to all the staff, especially Bri and Michael. We really appreciated your help!

Booked a week before my trip, didn’t give me a heads up until an hour before check in that they were over booked and transferred us to a different hotel with 0 amenities without telling us while also charging me already. This is also causing me to spend even more money on eating out every day as well as causing me to waste my groceries I had bought in preparation to the stay. (Side note an anonymous source told me this hotel overbooks on purpose as well)

Quiet weekend Nice place to stay, views were great and the unit was very spacious. John was great to work with at check-in.

The staff was very friendly and very accommodating to our request. It was a nice time to visit Newport that had so many beautiful things to do during the holidays. The mansion tour was fun and the convenience to everything was great.

Issues: Excessive noise from the refrigerator, the fan in downstairs bathroom, and the heat pump(?) outside the patio. Intermittent mild sewage smell outside the unit near the parking lot, and occasionally inside the front door.

The location is spectacular! Best View of any hotel in Jamestown!
