Belle View inn

Can anybody give me information on the Belle View Inn?



Is it a good place to stay?



Thanks.



Belle View inn


I%26#39;ve never stayed there before, but this inn has gotten mostly positive reviews on this site. Here%26#39;s the link: tripadvisor.com/…REVIEWS





The location seems ok, pretty close to Bellevue Ave. And their average rate posted here looks very reasonable for Newport. My initial impression is that you could probably do a lot worse than this place. Hopefully someone who has actually stayed there will chime in. Good Luck!


  • black heads
  • Good hotel near good beach?

    We would like to stay close to the action yet be in walking distance of the better beaches with things to do on them. Just not Ballards!!

    You probably just want to stay towards the Corn Neck Road end of Town. The Gables Inn and Blue Dory/Avonlea might be perfect.

    We%26#39;ve stayed at The Gables, The Dewey Cottage and Paynes Harbor View. The Gables was the most affordable and the Dewey Cottage was also very nice. Paynes Harbor is a little further away. I would stay at all three again.

    Want to visit Rhode Island but don't know where to go

    I generally visit Boston once a year and always head for the Cape for a few days of alone time. This year I want to try something different and explore Rhode Island but only having three days I don%26#39;t want to make a mistake in the things I choose to see and do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated with regard to lodging(clean, reasonable and preferably on the water or very near water), historical places, tours, biking, shopping, music, art shows, beaches and of course restaurants that serve great fish. L.A. has good sushi but that%26#39;s it unless you enjoy eating salmon everyday. I try to eat fish, pizza, chinese food and subs while I am back east. Is Block Island good for a day trip? It%26#39;s looks beautiful but seems to be better for boating and suning. I saw the mansions when I was young. Thanks!

    Hotel in Federal Hill

    We are 4 women coming to Providence for 1 night on June 12 then on to Cape Cod. We are thinking of staying in the Federal Hill area. Or would the downtown area be better. We love to eat and look in fun boutiques and little shops. Cool buildings are fun to look at too. What do you suggest? Can we stay for abound $100 to $120? We are from the plains of Oklahoma. It%26#39;s very flat here!



    Hotel in Federal Hill


    Downtown or Federal Hill is pretty much the same, more or less. I don%26#39;t think there are any decent hotels at that range in summer with Waterfire going on, but maybe someone knows otherwise. Maybe there are some hotels on the outskirts- isn%26#39;t there a Days Inn off 195? Providence packs a lot to see in a relatively small area so maybe you could just drive in and park for the day.



    Hotel in Federal Hill


    Hotwire is showing a 3 1/2* hotel for $58+fees. It%26#39;s most likely the Hilton which is downtown, but very close to Federal Hill.




    Hotel Dolce Villa on Federal Hill is a small, boutique, all suite hotel. There are 2 bedroom suites that should accomodate all of you. Check out website. www.dolcevillari.com

    Mystic Seaport

    Anyone know the approx car travel time between Newport and Mystic. I am thinking of making the trip but not sure if that is a crazy or rational thought. This would be in mid July so summer traffic should be factored in.



    Mystic Seaport


    A little over an hour.

    Bannisters Wharf

    Has anyone stayed in the Bannisters Wharf accommodations (right on the wharf)? If so, what was your experience - good and bad? What are the rooms like? Cost? Is it noisy? What did you think of the location?





    Thank you!

    Parking near Amtrak station

    I am traveling to NY from Providence on Amtrak and I%26#39;m getting to the Amtrak Providence station by car so I need to park overnight near the Amtrak station. I called the parking garage at the station and they said they are usually full by 6 AM.



    Any other suggestions for parking during the week and for a couple of nights?



    Many thanks.

    Not sure where you are coming from, but if you can drive down to the Kingston station parking is free and plentiful....but the Acela trains do not stop there.



    Parking near Amtrak station


    What day are you travelling on? I have parked many times at the station. I usually get there around 7:30. you could also try the Providence Place Mall garage.




    Hi,





    I, too am planning on travelling to NYC from Providence and will be driving in from Falmouth. Where do you park? How expensive is it? Any info would help.
