The decor was nice - perfect for a beach area. The facility was spotless and well designed. The beach and five restaurants were within a two-minute walk, and downtown Newport was two miles away. The bed was very comfortable, and linens/towels were high quality. The host was great to deal with and very helpful. There was fresh fruit and many options for a simple breakfast (no tables/chairs to ear at, so you take food back to your room or with you as you're going out). I would definitely stay there again.

Nothing

Great location and beyond my expectations. The breakfast was terrific . Everything from Coffee and tea to Nutrigrain bars and fresh muffins/pastries. The entire experience was beyond what I expected.

Honestly the only thing I can have to remotely complain about is the high price. That being said, I am aware that for what you get and where you are (referring to Rhea's Location) It's NOT an unreasonable price. Living in the age we are living in when everyone is trying to take what they can it would be great to have it a LITTLE cheaper but I'm sure they have their reasons.

Very close to First Beach. No need to pay for parking or spend time in traffic, just walk over in fewer than 5 minutes.

More of a suggestion than a dislike: I stayed in a first floor room facing the parking lot. A blackout curtain on the window in addition to the Roman shade would help with a feeling of privacy and to keep light out at night from the lot.

Me and my daughter were in town for 5 days for the Newport Jazz Festival. Rheas by the Sea is in a good location, near the beach and restaurants, and it's super clean and well appointed. Tony the owner was very nice, responsive and helpful - he graciously lugged our bags up three flights of stairs. The take and go breakfast items were a nice touch.

There was nothing not to like.

It was a perfect beach hotel. The manager/owner was so friendly and helpful. The room was cute and clean. Breakfast was very nice - so many offerings. I walked everywhere. It is very close to the beach, and close to the Cliff Walk. Many restaurants are nearby. I would definitely stay here again!

Very nice room. Nice breakfast choices. Very pleasant and helpful gentleman at the front desk. Everything in the Inn was very clean.

The only thing I didn't care for was the water pressure in the shower was really bad. Not that it was a big problem. It just took me a lot longer to rinse the conditioner out of my hair.

The location of the property is perfect for walking to the beach to avoid parking fees and traffic. Everyone is friendly and the room is kept very clean.

It wasn’t a dislike, more of a “heads up” for future guests. Don’t pack a heavy suitcase in case you’re on the third floor. Multiple, lighter bags are better.

Breakfast was basically quick pick up and go pastry , granola bars ,cereal, fruit bars, some fruit , coffee was fresh but a variety.

Parking was used by local restaurants annd business and that limited spaces but only during busy lunch hour.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, walking distance to first beach. Perfect for walking to the marathon. The room was clean, the shower pressure was strong which I love.

I loved everything!

Loved the snacks and fresh coffee every morning. Close to waking to the sea and made the cliff walk.
