Historic Jailhouse Accommodations
The Jailhouse Inn is a converted 1772 jail and police station in downtown Newport. It has 23 rooms with private baths, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-refrigerators, and USB charging ports. Rooms range from Deluxe (first floor) to Premier (third floor, some with skylights). The Split Room option features two conjoined bedrooms with one bath, ideal for families or friends. The lower-level suite includes a king bed, twin bed, pull-out couch, and white-washed brick archways.
Free Breakfast & Parking
Guests receive a complimentary continental breakfast each morning. Afternoon tea and freshly baked cookies are served in the lobby. The inn provides free parking (one car per room) in a lot behind the building, accessible via Charles Street. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.
Steps from Newport Attractions
The inn is a 5-minute walk from Washington Square, home to the White Horse Tavern (New England's oldest tavern). It's 0.5 km from Bowen's Wharf and the Museum of Newport History. The Cliff Walk, The Breakers mansion, and Newport Harbor are within 2 km. The Newport Transportation Center (buses, trolleys) is two blocks away.
Unique Historic Features
Original jail elements remain, including iron bars on lobby windows, framed crime articles, and directional signs to 'cell blocks.' Common areas have dark wood furnishings and vintage speed-limit signs. The front porch overlooks Marlborough Street.
Practical Guest Services
The 24-hour front desk staff assists with local recommendations. Rooms include irons, hair dryers, and Malin+Goetz toiletries. The inn does not have a gym or spa but is near running paths along the waterfront.
Must-do experiences
- Visit the Newport Cliff Walk for stunning ocean views and fresh air.
- Taste the famous clam chowder at The Black Pearl on Bannister's Wharf.
- Explore the lesser-known Redwood Library for its unique architecture.
