Artful Lodger Inn
Located on a quiet corner in Newport, the charming Artful Lodger Inn is a lovely two-and-a-half-pearl option for travelers looking for the traditional bed-and-breakfast stay. The historic inn features seven individually designed rooms with Victorian decor and modern amenities: air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and some mini-fridges. Two tranquil garden areas include a magnolia tree that’s over 140 years old. The free and tasty homemade breakfast is served each morning in the rooftop Pip’s Cafe. The major downside here is occasional complaints about cleanliness. Those looking for a similar historical experience with more modern amenities might consider the Hotel Viking, which has two restaurants, a fitness center, and an indoor pool — but at a higher price.
