Atlantic Beach Hotel Newport

The location, very close to downtown Newport and second beach.

The smell in the lobby on the first night was terrible.

Dated feel. Odd floor plan

The rooms were quite large, but our "King suite" had a king bed on the far side of a half wall and a double bed on the near side. There was a refrigerator and microwave by the double bed. The bathroom was clean, but the finishes were dated.

Only one elevator -- which was inoperable for one evening there. The hotel next door is more money, but has better amenities and the suites are much nicer.

Shabby. Poorly maintrained 'cottages'. Felt dirty.

Location is great if you dont mind driving or shuttling into downtown

Upon check in we discovered our room was one of the 6 or so adjacent to the lobby. I requested a different room and the lady at the desk informed me we were blocked in but not to worry, the lobby doesnt get a lot of traffic and is quiet. I can assure you this is not the case. All conversations in the lobby can be heard quite clearly from the rooms; all check-ins, check-outs, everyone attending breakfast. Its VERY loud. We were awoken every morning around 6 if not earlier and were awoken by rowdy people coming in during the night.The front desk staff arent even courteous enough to close the door leading to the hall to buffer the noise. When checking-out I was assisted by the same lady and I provided the feedback on the lobby noise. She replied "OK." No apology, no interest. Very indifferent to the guests The rooms are dirty. Especially the floors. They had debris and were sticky. I wasnt comfortable taking off my shoes
