We had a wonderful experience at the Wellington, where the spacious suites made us feel right at home. The views from the balcony were simply breathtaking, especially during sunset, and we loved how family-friendly the amenities were. However, we found the need for some updates in the decor and had a slightly disappointing encounter with the handling of personal items left behind.

My stay was highlighted by a spacious two-bedroom condo with a fantastic sunset view over Newport Harbor. The location offered easy walking access to numerous shops and restaurants, making it convenient for exploring. Although the kitchen was well-equipped, it was missing some essential cookware. Overall, the service was responsive, and the property felt like a good value for money despite some minor inconveniences.

I had an enjoyable stay at the resort, appreciating the spacious suites and the beautiful harbor views. The location was fantastic, allowing easy walks to local attractions, though I found the pricing a bit steep given some dated decor. Overall, it was a great spot for a family vacation, but a few upgrades could make it even better.

The resort offers a fantastic location right on the harbor, making it convenient for exploring Newport. The spacious rooms provide a homely feel, especially with beautiful balcony views, but some furnishings are in dire need of an update. I had mixed feelings about the staff's response to lost items. Overall, it's a decent choice for families with its generous living space and local amenities close by, but be cautious about personal belongings.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, with plenty of room and breathtaking views that made for an unforgettable experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming, adding a personal touch to our visit. However, I was disappointed when I left something behind, and it wasn't returned, which dampened my overall impression of their attention to lost items. Still, the value I received from the spacious accommodations and amenities made it a worthwhile trip.
