Review by hotel critic
As a seasoned traveler always on the lookout for cutting-edge technology and unique experiences, my recent visit to Harbor Base Inn left me with mixed feelings. The motel, nestled near Newport's transportation center, offers modest yet clean rooms with basic amenities like a microwave and refrigerator, contributing to a comfortable stay. The daily housekeeping services were a nice touch, ensuring a neat and tidy environment.However, when it comes to crucial modern conveniences like Wi-Fi, Harbor Base Inn fell short. The internet service was unreliable, which could be a significant drawback for digital nomads or individuals who prioritize staying connected. The limited front desk hours and lack of available staff during emergencies could be inconvenient for guests seeking assistance or information outside designated times.Considering the relatively affordable rates and convenient location, Harbor Base Inn provides decent value for budget-conscious travelers prioritizing convenience over luxury. Despite its shortcomings, the motel's cleanliness and friendly staff contribute to a satisfactory stay, especially for those willing to forgo certain modern amenities. So, if you're seeking a simple and cost-effective accommodation option in Newport, Harbor Base Inn might fit the bill for your stay.
