Saturday night stay in Newport

We live approx. 1hr from Newport and want to drive down 4/25 (Saturday) for lunch, sightseeing,dinner,drinks,and breakfast. Would like to be able to park and spend the rest of the time on foot. Seems many hotels have a two night minimum so our choices are limited. Any suggestions? B%26amp;B recommendations? Any thoughts are appreciated



Saturday night stay in Newport


Now is a great time to go to Newport. The weather is good and the crowds are small. So doing all that you asked is more than able. You%26#39;ll enjoy yourself..





If you have a vehicle then you could look into staying in near by middletown,ri and have a short 3-5 minute drive..



Saturday night stay in Newport


I think your best bet is to drive down that Saturday as planned and find a room when you get there. Trying to book a one night stay on a Saturday in advance is near impossible. The hotels hold all the power then to get you to commit to a 2 night stay. But, I%26#39;m sure you will find something on the day of, especially since late April is far from peak season down there. There should be rooms available for the night. Try the Newport Marriott, Newport Harbor Hotel, Hyatt on Goat Island, bigger places like that.




I%26#39;ve checked a bunch of websites and all of them offer rooms for just the 25th at most of the hotels and Inns....where are you looking that you are told there is a two night minimum, B%26amp;B%26#39;s? They%26#39;re crazy if they think they can requiree that this early in the season, I%26#39;d be surprised if they%26#39;ll even be able to get that this summer (with the possible exception of some popular B%26amp;B%26#39;s)





I did notice on Hotwire, that the Hyatt on Goat Island is $131 for that night. Probably even cheaper on Priceline.





Or follow Will%26#39;s advice and wait until you get down. Stop by the Visitors Center to see if their are any day of specials.




Thank you for the replies and advice. I was floored to think a one night stay was out of reach. Did get one at the Marriott so we are good to go.Next time I%26#39;ll take your advice and just drive down and find a room. Thanks again, I%26#39;m sure we%26#39;ll have a great time.
