Newport Hotels

The recently built Holiday Inn Express is one of the few hotels on the south side of Newport, in the South Beach area, and it has a pleasant setting backing on to a patch of woodland, half a block from US 101, within easy walking distance of Oregon Coast Aquarium, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Newport Marina and the edge of Yaquina Bay. Rooms are bright, spacious and modern, equipped with microwave/refrigerator, plus a work desk and triple-sheeted bedding. The free breakfast includes a selection of hot items, and there are at least six restaurants nearby, even though most facilities in town are half a mile north, across the highway bridge. Also available are an indoor pool, fitness center, business center and meeting room.

Newport's Best Western hotel enjoys scenic, partly wooded surroundings 1.5 miles north of the town center, reached by US 101 though set back a little from the highway, and is just 700 feet from the Pacific coastline at Agate Beach State Park. This is a full service property, with a restaurant/bar on-site and a good range of amenities - indoor pool/hot tub, exercise room, games arcade, wi-fi, business center and meeting space. There is no free breakfast, however. All rooms have a refrigerator and microwave, and those on the upper floors have views either of the ocean or the Coast Range, which rises up steeply a few miles inland.

The Days Inn hotel in Newport has a slightly elevated position in the city center, on the west side of US 101, enabling the Pacific Ocean to be visible, a quarter of a mile away. Most guest rooms, however, face north or east, and instead have views of the mixed residential/commercial surroundings; there are many shops and restaurants nearby, and other locations such as Newport City Hall, Newport Recreation Center and the local hospital. In common with many other small motels in town, facilities are limited, in this case just free continental breakfast, free w-fi and a hot tub.

The Travelodge has a north-central location in Newport along US 101, less than half a mile from the oceanfront and within a few blocks of a good selection of dining and shopping. The two floor, exterior corridor building is angled away from the highway, hence rooms at the rear are quietest. All accommodations have a microwave and refrigerator. The standard two complimentary amenities of internet access and continental breakfast are provided, plus basic business services.
