Jailhouse Inn - A historic 3-star lodging in a repurposed 1772 jail with modern amenities and central Newport location

The Jailhouse Inn offers 23 hotel-style guest rooms within a federal-style brick building that originally served as Newport's county jail and police station. Each room includes a private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, mini-refrigerator, and free Wi-Fi, with some featuring unique architectural elements like skylights or white-washed brick archways. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Jailhouse Inn, and afternoon tea is served in the lobby overlooking Marlborough Street. The property sits one block from Washington Square, near landmarks like the White Horse Tavern and within a 10-minute walk of Newport Harbor and Thames Street. Parking is free, and the inn provides easy access to downtown, the waterfront, and trolley services.

Pros

The historic jailhouse setting includes original steel gates, barred windows, and themed décor.

Rooms are equipped with modern conveniences, including mini-refrigerators and USB charging ports.

The central location allows walking access to restaurants, shops, and waterfront attractions.

Free on-site parking and a 24-hour front desk add convenience for guests.

Cons

Some rooms are located in the basement, which may feel confined for guests preferring natural light.

The inn's historic layout means certain rooms have shared walls, potentially reducing sound privacy.
