No matter what sort of accommodation you choose, it's a good idea to reserve your room in advance, particularly in summer and especially on weekends.

If you arrive in Newport on Friday from mid-July through early September, you may well have to spend hours searching for that last hotel or inn room.

On summer weekdays there may be more rooms, but you may not be able to find your preferred facilities and price unless you reserve in advance.

Remember that Rhode Island has a 6% sales tax, and that a 5% Newport room tax is also applied to prices in establishments with 10 or more rooms.
