The aesthetic of this hotel is cute but it’s not well maintained. the management said the hotel was under construction but all the issues we experienced we due to the property being neglected or in disrepair. Our bathroom sink handles fell off when we twisted them, the blind was broken, our phone didn’t work, the remote control turned on both TVs (??), the EV charging was not working and if you look at reviews it hasn’t been working since 2023. The HVAC unit in the room was super noisy, even when we turned it off there were loud sounds and air. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, the only saving grace of the stay. Very disappointing experience.

There are distinctly different areas of the hotel - we stayed in the main building in a 2br suite which was brand new and modern, and friends were booked in the older “motel” section and quickly changed rooms when they arrived. The pool was a hike from the main building but beautiful (and super cold), and plenty of chairs and umbrellas for the number of mid-week guests. The restaurant had just reopened and we didn’t try it, but the lobby cafe had coffee, and salads from the pool bar were ok. Beware of the $25/day facility fee - not sure why that’s in place given the price of the rooms. We didn’t take advantage of the free bikes but they seem new, and the only nice machine we found was near the main lobby. Overall we would consider it again if priced well below in town options (which it was). Not much around the hotel, but only 25-30 min walk to the downtown area at a fast clip.

I was disappointed with my stay. It seems like the hotel did a quick renovation just to make it Instagram-worthy, but it didn’t live up to the hype. The bar only served canned cocktails, and the pizza tasted like it was microwaved. The pool had broken tiles—definitely not something you want to look at closely. Some items in the room even still had price tags on them! Overall, it didn’t feel like a good value and came off as a bit cheesy.

Wish it was Way better stay.
The Wayfinder is a cute boutique hotel, and the price per night to stay there was unbeatable. However, there were quite a few inconveniences that dampened our experience there... When requested to reserve a room that was away from high-traffic areas that could produce noise, we were instead put in the far end of the hotel down a poorly lit hallway that was right next to the part of the property that was under construction, so we were hearing noise from that which defeated the purpose of our request to be in a more quiet area. Also, there were dirty dishes along the wall directly across our room when we arrived. We were there for a few days, and every day, those same dirty dishes were never picked up. Lastly, we were double-charged for our stay. We paid in advance but were accidentally charged again when checked in. Most of the money set aside for this trip was no longer available until everything was sorted out between the bank and the property, and since it was a weekend stay, funds were not returned until we were back home. Regardless of the multiple inconveniences, we would definitely stay again to support The Wayfinder, but it will have to be after it's fully renovated and the staff better trained, which we hope will be very soon.

Loved my stay at The Wayfinder!!! The room was super clean and well decorated. The location of the hotel is a 7 min drive to downtown Newport. I enjoyed the amenities like the pool and gym. The customer service was also great from the front desk staff to the housekeepers. The only things that were missing from our room was a microwave and iron, but you can ask the front desk if you need one. Also side note- the sheets, they’re not cooling and not great for hot sleepers.

We had issues with housekeeping, one of the beds had not been changed, there was makeup on the pillows and there was crumbs in the sheets and there was a large tuft of black hair in the bed. Management did come right away when we discovered the bed hadn’t been changed. The room was awfully far from the elevator and had to go down steps to access our room.

Room itself was ok for what we needed it for. Bathroom clean except the top of toilet tank must have broke and they have one on that doesnt fit right so felt like it was going to fall over whenever you sat or stood up. Also room near back entrance that constantly made banging noise when people went in or out. ..Expedia gave us a rate but my bill was way over what was quoted the 3 day stay.

Check in was very easy, in fact our room was ready a bit early which was great! Front desk staff was very friendly and explained everything about our stay right up front. The room was very clean except for one stain on the carpet just inside the door. The room was spacious and the king size bed was very comfortable for my husband who has back problems.

There is nothing “upscale” about this hotel. It is a motel. Very disappointed with the amenities for $350 /night. The fitness room consists of two treadmills, two water-rowers and free weights. The pool feels like hanging out at my neighbor’s fenced in backyard pool—nothing serene or oasis feeling at all. The hotel photos boasts patrons floating in the pool with tropical cocktails—they have bottled apple juice—yay. Will not be back. If you are looking for a dirty,
