Ivy Lodge

Very nice lodge, very clean with excellent breakfast and 24 hour coffee and tea with desserts. We had a fireplace in our room as well. Two nice sitting rooms as well to enjoy a drink and dessert. Very close to mansions. We stayed in the Satterly Suite which has a smaller connecting room. My only complaint is that there is a step up to get to the smaller room which I didn't see and tripped over hurting my right knee. Hopefully this will be addressed by the owner. Otherwise wonderful stay.

Awesome property! Awesome location! Awesome breakfast! Awesome staff! Everything you could want in a B&B. I would definitely recommend the Ivy Lodge

What a lovely inn. It is removed from the harbor hubbub, but just a few blocks from the Cliffwalk and an easy 20 minute stroll to the downtown area, with all the restaurant and shops. Our second floor rooms were charmingly decorated and immaculate, and Jacqi and her sons most accommodating. We would not think of staying anyplace else in Newport.

I've been to the IVY Lodge many times over the years and I keep going back! Each room is so unique, cozy, super clean and comfortable. The owners and staff are professional, accommodating and friendly. The wrap around porch/deck is so peaceful, great place to have coffee and read or just listen to the birds and look at the flowers. Every morning breakfast is unique and he Alve Regina entrance to the stairs, 5 min walk, check out the cliff walk. There so much to do near by, whether one walks, rents the electric bike or drives. Great restaurants. IVY Lodge is also very peaceful and very well maintained. I'll continue to go!

Stayed at the Ivy Lodge Nightmare on Clay St from July 7-9. Had an unpleasant experience. Booked the room 5 months in advance for a destination wedding in Rhode Island and choose a room online with Wesley. Recommended by the bride's mother. First time in Newport, excited to explore the city and visit the mansions. Checked in with Wesley around 12-12.15 pm on Friday. He showed us some places to visit. Given the Van Alen room. About 1.5 hours later, while we were out for lunch, Wesley called and admitted that he had given us the wrong room. He asked if we could move, but we explained that we were unable to do so immediately and would sort it out later. We had already used the bathroom, unpacked our clothes, and had personal items in the room. Wesley insisted that we move out by 3 PM as he had another guest coming in. We reiterated that we couldn't leave right away and would check in at the inn after lunch. About 20 minutes later, Wesley called back, leaving a message that he had resolved the issue and everything was fine with the room( on my voicemail) After lunch, we headed back to the inn, which was two hours after Wesley's call. At that time, Jacqui, Wesley's mother and the innkeeper, called in a sneering voice with a nasty attitude and accused me of being inflexible about moving and causing her son to give away our room to other guests. She claimed that her son had asked us to move just ten minutes after we checked in, but I corrected her, stating that he called 1.5 hours later. She also falsely claimed that her son had offered to move us and compensate us for a night, which never happened. I explained to her that her son had left a message on my phone two hours ago, stating that everything was sorted out. It was clear that she was not aware of this. However, she insisted that we had to leave immediately and demanded that we grab our bags. She was essentially throwing us out. It was an unbelievable situation, and I have never been treated in such a deplorable manner as a paying guest. We were repeatedly harassed by both Wesley and Jacqui. This was outright discrimination in the year 2023. There was no reason for her behavior. I am very sure this would have never happened to us if we were white. I explained to her that we are here for a wedding and that the bride’s mother recommended her Inn. We were willing to go to the Marriot and we told her we can do so if she pays for it. She refused. Jacqui’s solution was that we have to leave and again . She was adamant on throwing us out and insisting we leave. Wow! There was no reason for her behavior. I am very sure this would have never happened to us if we were white. She is in the hospitality business and she is a nasty woman with a bad attitude. I told her we needed to be at the wedding for 12.30 pm on Saturday and no time to find or move to another place except the Marriot. I suggested since we have used our room and the other guests also used theirs we can make the switch on Saturday as a

I had a beautiful porch to relax on and sit and have coffee or a glass of wine at night

Charming and relaxing. Wonderfully preserved, quaint, comfortable lodge run by welcoming family. We stayed in the charming Turret Room with a view on the garden. Sipped our tea in the round open window with a sweet scent of flowers in the air, relaxed in a jacuzzi in the evening and spent the night under the canopy of a king size bed. Centrally placed, we walked to the cliff and mansions and to the wharf for dinner. We felt charmed and pampered!

Beautiful accommodations. Comfortable King size bed. Our room was spotless. The AC worked well. Great continental breakfast. Which was enjoyed on the great wrap around porch. Which we enjoyed. Convenient location. Super helpful owner/host.

Our entire experience at the Ivy Lodge was fantastic. We were looking for a place that had a fireplace and a bathtub that could fit two, and we were so happy to have found this place. We stayed in the Trunk room, which was great and clean. The bed was very soft and comfortable. The interior of the house is beautiful and really added to the ambiance. Wes had a lot of great suggestions for things to do and places to eat in the area. He also reached out on the morning of our arrival to let us know that our room would be ready early if we wanted, which was very considerate since our outdoor plans were mostly scrapped due to poor weather. The breakfast was fantastic, and the available snacks during the day were also a treat. I had to watch my head a few times to avoid a few low doorframes, but overall not an issue (I'm 6' 0", so not too tall). The wifi also wasn't very reliable, but I didn't use it much anyway. Overall, will definetely stay here again if we ever return to Newport!
