What guests think
At Oceancliff Resort I & II, guests consistently praise the stunning oceanfront setting and friendly staff, while noting the historic property doubles as a busy wedding venue, where event noise, dated rooms, and temperature-control quirks can impact comfort.
The location is scenic and a short drive to downtown, with easy parking and many rooms offering ocean views or kitchens. A basic continental breakfast and on-site restaurant/bar that may be closed or reserved for events are common themes, alongside recurring maintenance issues such as broken hot tubs or out-of-order amenities. Many find the property clean overall, but the age shows in places, with sporadic issues like ants, weak water pressure, or equipment noise. Expect beautiful surroundings and a historic vibe, alongside some compromises in quiet and modern amenities.

The location of the property was great; The pool and jacuzzi were the highlights of our stay. The buildings, and rooms are very outdated and run down. The heat was not so easy to navigate... there was no fitness center. and the shuttle to town was not available on Saturday.

The hotel has the best sunsets & provides a calmness after a busy day. The restaurant is very convenient as well, as is the kitchen in the room. As multiple reviews stated, the rooms need an upgrade. The hot tub didn’t work for us, and the pool was in a hot & muggy greenhouse. Would still stay here again, just know it’s not a resort.

Checked in New Year’s Eve, the bar and dining closed at 8pm! And there’s no room service either. It was not communicated to us during check in. We were hoping to stay at resort and have nice time but had to drive out to town for dinner. When we returned we asked front desk for more water guy said no! Didn’t offer to sell or call house keeping, offered no assistance. Will not return. One positive was the bathroom was clean.

OceanCliff is a beautiful property with stunning views of the Newport Bridge—that’s the highlight. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience fell short. Our Queen room was very basic, reminiscent of a college dorm, and located directly above the kitchen. By 7 AM, loud music coming from the kitchen made it impossible to sleep in. We also had a poor experience at the on-site restaurant. After a polite greeting, the hostess Rae seemed annoyed with us for no reason. Though we asked to sit outside on a beautiful, empty evening at 5 PM, we were told the tables were reserved. Eventually, we were moved outside, but when we left around 6:30, the outdoor tables were still unoccupied—clearly, they were never actually reserved. To top it off, one of us got food poisoning. And at checkout, no one even asked how our stay was—which is usually standard. It just reinforced the feeling that OceanCliff doesn’t care about guest experience. Between the rude service, early morning noise, and questionable food, we won’t be returning. A pretty view isn’t enough to make up for poor hospitality.

It’s a historic hotel, so it does not feel like a new or updated hotel, which is not a bad thing! Very clean and has a beautiful view. Bed was comfortable. There is only 21 rooms or so, so it is very quiet but the walls are thin - easy to hear people in the hallway. The restaurant was closed while we were there (which is odd since we were there on season). About a 10 - 15 minute drive to downtown Newport.

Horrible trip ! I was never informed until physically checking in, that not only was the on-site restaurant closed but the shuttle to downtown was not operating - this was the reason we selected this resort - to safely attend the Saint Patrick’s day parade. Also hot tub broken and pool temperature very cold. The kitchen faucet sprayed out from the sprayer and soaked me. I am disgusted with this trip and really pissed off !!!

The view was beautiful, and the room was huge, but it’s listed as a hotel so we were expecting the usual amenities (all actually listed on Expedia) - like shampoo and extra toilet paper - however it turns out this is more of a timeshare, so that was not provided. The hot tub was out of order, and we had a small ant problem at night - the ants would disappear during the day, but in the early morning we found a line of ants (luckily all our food was covered and sealed).

This is a historic building so your room may not be perfect. We appreciated how this made the hotel unique. Our room was on the third floor. We had windows on both sides of the room giving us sea, sunrise, and sunset views which was so unexpected! Our room had two closets with built-in drawers and shelves. Breakfast was sufficient for continental (bagels, cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, granola, orange juice, coffee). The housekeeping services were great; our room was so carefully tended when we returned. The views from this property are spectacular.

Hotel is very dated and not well maintained. Room was clean but carpets were old and dingy The hotel was so so so so loud. Our room was apparently above the kitchen where there started yelling, playing music and banging pots and pans at 8:00am. You could hear clearly loud announcements like “one order of calamari”. We called the front desk to ask about the noise and the gentleman we spoke with made it seem like it was no big deal and the only solution offered was to move to different room which was apparently more noisy? So that was confusing. The doors had visible gaps along the top and sides and you can hear everything happening in the hotel and through the windows. To cap it off there were wedding two nights we were there, due to the age and lack of noise insulation the hotel really needs to let guests know when they are booking that they should expect noise until 12. We wanted a nice relaxing beach hotel and this was sadly not that. There was one really nice and helpful lady at the front desk.

The property is old and tired. We had an infestation of ants in one of the bathrooms as well as issues with televisions. Interesting when you check in there are small pass holes with attendants behind Plexiglass? Maybe they haven't gotten word Covid crisis has ended? The property needs some TLC

If you love and appreciate history, you’ll enjoy this property. The main house, setting and views, in particular, are spectacular. It’s mainly used for wedding and group events and we could see why - the views from the main dining room are “Wow”. It’s doesn’t have an elevator which wasn’t a problem for us. Some of the later additions could have been more sensitive to the original house in terms of finishes and HVAC placement, but maybe that’s what was available at the time. Some updates could really make the building sing again. Our room was spotless. We thought it was very good value. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We would definitely visit again.

We were put in a room that adjoined with another random guest and could hear every little thing even when they weren’t being particularly loud. We were kept up all hours of the night because you can hear every single thing. Even them peeing in the bathroom sounded like they were in our room. Past midnight and up at 6 it was terrible.

The room was extremely outdated, no thermostat to control temp (it was freezing from the AC), uncomfortable bed and pillows, and the sink water never ran warm/hot! They only had a continental breakfast available with no options for hot breakfast food. For the amount this was nightly, it was far below expectations especially for a 4 star hotel. Views were the only good thing.

Eventually, we were moved outside, but when we left around 6:30, the outdoor tables were still unoccupied—clearly, they were never actually reserved. To top it off, one of us got food poisoning. And at checkout, no one even asked how our stay was—which is usually standard. It just reinforced the feeling that OceanCliff doesn’t care about guest experience. Between the rude service, early morning noise, and questionable food, we won’t be returning. A pretty view isn’t enough to make up for poor hospitality.

Stay was deceit but not as expected for the price. Checking in staff was less than friendly. Room was uncomfortably warm, necessary to call front desk to cool down and then it went from warm to freezing temperature. Not well controlled. Attended wedding during stay, great experience and fun. Bar severs pleasant. Food servers less than friendly.

Despite some of the reviews I’ve seen, we had a great stay. We had issues with check in as they said they didn’t see my reservation but I had proof I booked through Orbitz. The night guy gave us a key with the proof and by morning during check out it was found that my reservation was still actually there and there was a mix up, they just didn’t print a card that was needed to be signed. Regardless, every one was super nice. We stayed one night and the room was nice, clean and the bed was comfortable. We had no issues with “noise” BUT we also went in March and not during peak booking times. We would definitely stay here again!

Ocean Cliff is a beautiful hotel sitting atop a cliff away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The room was spacious and bed comfortable with a mini fridge, coffee maker and safe. We loved the restaurant and the views.

It was a GREAT location, one of only two hotels on Ocean Drive. the grounds were amazing. The building is falling apart a little, there is deferred maintenance, but the room was clean, the staff was Wonderful. we had a view of the ocean, the hot tub was hot, the coffee and breakfast muffins were great. It is what it is and there is SO much to see in Newport that you shouldnt be spending much time in the room.

It’s a historic hotel, so it does not feel like a new or updated hotel, which is not a bad thing! Very clean and has a beautiful view. Bed was comfortable. There is only 21 rooms or so, so it is very quiet but the walls are thin - easy to hear people in the hallway. The restaurant was closed while we were there (which is odd since we were there on season). About a 10 - 15 minute drive to downtown Newport.

Spacious units in an unbeatable waterfront location 10minutes from town. Only wished their free shuttle was offered during our stay. It was off-season so parking wasn’t an issue.

Dining
Breakfast is generally a simple continental spread; service can be unstaffed at times. The restaurant/bar receives mixed feedback and is often closed or reserved, though some guests enjoyed meals and views when open.

The only staff we had contact with was the front desk. They were cordial. No staff available in the breakfast area -toaster was not plugged in so it wasn’t working. Refrigerator in room cycled on and off and the bed was creaky.

This is more about the wedding venue than it is a hotel for other guests. Wedding parties are their bread & butter but not other guests and us as guests get that vibe. The bar and restaurant was closed for a private party so no accommodations for others and at over $350 a night, not worth it

Hotel is historic and really charming... However, there are many areas of improvements to be considered: 1. There is no in-room control for heating/cooling as it is controlled centrally. 2. No extra blankets provided in the closets 3. Breakfast is waaaaay lower than our expectations for such a nice hotel building: Not manned (nobody to help), no sliced bread provided (only bagels), no hot items (no scrambled eggs, no pancakes, no waffles or sausages), no hot milk for those preferring cereals that way, no honey as sweetner option, only one type of fruit provided (cut pineapples). 4. If there is a wedding on the night you're staying, don't expect to be able to sleep before midnight, as the noise and DJ banging is audible and you could hear (and feel) in your bed!! Briefly, great building and nice staff... everything else is disappointing. Note to management: You can make this place a heavenly hotel if you do a little bit more in the areas I highlighted. Thank you

OceanCliff is a beautiful property with stunning views of the Newport Bridge—that’s the highlight. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience fell short. Our Queen room was very basic, reminiscent of a college dorm, and located directly above the kitchen. By 7 AM, loud music coming from the kitchen made it impossible to sleep in. We also had a poor experience at the on-site restaurant. After a polite greeting, the hostess Rae seemed annoyed with us for no reason. Though we asked to sit outside on a beautiful, empty evening at 5 PM, we were told the tables were reserved. Eventually, we were moved outside, but when we left around 6:30, the outdoor tables were still unoccupied—clearly, they were never actually reserved. To top it off, one of us got food poisoning. And at checkout, no one even asked how our stay was—which is usually standard. It just reinforced the feeling that OceanCliff doesn’t care about guest experience. Between the rude service, early morning noise, and questionable food, we won’t be returning. A pretty view isn’t enough to make up for poor hospitality.

Ocean Cliff Hotel was a gem of a find! We absolutely loved it! The views were spectacular!! It’s a very short drive to the lighthouse / another gem of a find! And the sunset there was magnificent!! We ended up having dinner there - which was delicious! Breakfast was included, lots of options, and you couldn’t beat the views of Narragansett Bay! We will definitely be going back!!!

The room was extremely outdated, no thermostat to control temp (it was freezing from the AC), uncomfortable bed and pillows, and the sink water never ran warm/hot! They only had a continental breakfast available with no options for hot breakfast food. For the amount this was nightly, it was far below expectations especially for a 4 star hotel. Views were the only good thing.

Hello, we just stayed two nights in the one bedroom condo. The condo is outdated, but clean. The pool was not working and the bedroom windows were on the walkway and everyone can see inside your room. Not much for food in the area and downtown was 15-20 mins away. WiFi was working on and off.

Great location, good price, full one bedroom condo with a patio. Close to pool and wonderful hot tub! Very friendly and helpful staff. One thing: Google maps will send you up the drive to the Oceancliff Resort. Take your first left off the driveway to the two story building. That is Oceancliff I & II!
