My husband and I planned an impromptu overnight in Newport the first week in August '08. I found a "Summer on sale" promotional rate and booked a standard room with king bed through Hyatt's website. We arrived around 4:30 for the 4pm check-in and had no trouble--the room was ready, we were given a map of Newport and a map... more

I understand the construction and renovation was an inconvenience (look at previous reviews), but the outcome isn’t much of an improvement beyond aesthetics. Just because a hotel says they are going through a “32 million dollar renovation” doesn’t mean they will be any better in terms of service and value. My wife and I recently attended a wedding at the... more

A nice hotel. The cost is up there but they do allow one night stays on a weekend which many do not during the SEASON. We had a water view and except fot he loud people next door, we had a nice time. Its on a island so it a little out of the way to walk into town but... more

I had the misfortune of staying here with my boyfriend during a work-sponsored event. The hotel was undergoing renovations (inside and out) and hotel staff did little to help travelers around the mess. After check in we had to walk outside and around the building to avoid construction getting to our rooms. And on the way out we were rerouted... more

Arrived on Sunday for 4:00 check in. Lobby full of people with no rooms ready. Front desk says, "we had a lot of late check-outs". I was told one hour was her "best guess". Started talking with others in the lobby who said they were there a long time. I witnessed one couple making a reservation at the Marriott and... more

Let me begin by saying that the reviews on here almost stopped me from staying at this hotel. However, if one scrolls back far enough to get to the reviews BEFORE the $32 million renovation began you will notice that the biggest complaints were the rooms, bathrooms, etc... All those things were completely redone and are very beautiful. The furniture... more

Just got back from a 4 day stay at the Hyatt in Newport. We were first time visitors to the area and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The Hyatt has totally completed all of the renovations to their inside areas and it is beautiful. Renovations to the outside were just finishing up on the day we left, but there is still a... more

I stayed at the Hyatt in Newport June 11th to June 13th for a business conference. The hotel is located on Goat Island. The construction project was not a big deal. Inside appears to be completely done and outside is still in process. Really did not bother me at all. The style is very modern, not my taste but still... more

The hotel was a mess and getting to the room was a comparable to being a mouse in a maze. Be prepared to walk through dusty halls filled with several construction workers. The parking lot is equally a disaster. Don't bother washing your car before arriving because it will be dusty in no time. Also, be sure to purchase bottled... more
