A useful Newport base with friendly staff, but uneven room upkeep.
Sonesta Select is a practical 3-star hotel in Middletown, best treated as a driving base rather than a Newport getaway in itself. We'd consider it for free parking, generally comfortable rooms and staff who earn repeated praise on Expedia and Tripadvisor. The indoor pool, seasonal outdoor swimming and hot tub add appeal for families, and recent guests often report clean rooms and easy check-in.
The catch is inconsistent upkeep: several 2026 reviews describe worn furnishings, peeling paint, bathroom maintenance issues or unpleasant room odors, alongside plenty of satisfied stays. Breakfast costs extra and the selection draws criticism; Tripadvisor and Expedia guests also report broken gym equipment. Confirm the hot tub is working if that matters to you. We'd skip it for polished interiors, dependable fitness facilities or a walkable downtown stay.
