NEWPORT FAQs (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS)

When is high season? Most of our properties’ rates increase as of May 1. High season rates normally decrease after Columbus Day (October).  Typically, weekend rates are higher than weekday rates. Sunday through Thursday are considered midweek days.  

Holidays and Special Event weekends. Many of the downtown hotels and all of our inns and bed & breakfasts require a three night minimum stay during holidays and special event periods.

These minimum stay requirements are standard practice for Newport properties. Rates and minimum stay requirements are set by each individual property and not by Taylor-Made Reservations.

What are the Minimum Stay Requirements in season? None of our properties will accept a Saturday only stay in season. All properties have a two-night minimum stay requirement on weekends. Many properties will not accept a Saturday arrival, even if you plan to stay two nights. Most properties will not accept a Saturday only stay until that very weekend, if not that actual Saturday.

High Season Rates. Weekend rates in season for downtown Newport hotels rooms and suites range anywhere from $249 per night to over $700+ per night (plus 12% tax).

Weekend rates in season for downtown Newport’s Inns and B&Bs with private bath range from about $175 to $450+ (majority range from $175-250 per night). B&Bs and guest houses with shared baths range from $135 per night and up.

Rates are often lower at properties in our bordering town of Middletown, and further north in Portsmouth.
