Great Breakfast Experience

I had a wonderful breakfast at the Torpedo Lounge during my stay. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was great. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast options. Our server, Melissa, went above and beyond to make our morning special. I highly recommend starting your day here!

Stunning Water View

My room had a beautiful water view and offered lovely sights of the Newport Bridge. It was spacious and clean, which made my stay more enjoyable. Although there were some minor issues, the view from my room really made the experience special.

Enjoyable Pool Area

The pool area was enjoyable, though it had a few hiccups due to reservation policies. Despite that, I managed to relax and soak up some sun. The experience could have been better with more available seating, but overall, I had a pleasant time.

The hotel is a lovely place to visit, especially for a drink on their beautiful patio overlooking the water. The staff provided excellent service, and I truly appreciated the extra attention that made my stay comforting. However, the rooms were not up to expectations with outdated furniture and cleanliness issues. Overall, the value for money felt lacking due to the room condition.

5.0/10

I had high expectations for my stay, given the price and reputation, but it fell short in several areas. The views from the balcony were lovely, but the room showed signs of neglect, and the service wasn't as attentive as hoped. While the restaurant staff were nice, the overall experience lacked the luxury feel I anticipated. I wouldn't say it's worth the cost, especially with the issues I encountered during my stay.

Rooms

The room had a lovely patio with nice views, but it felt outdated and lacked necessary amenities like USB ports. The cleanliness was questionable, with hair found in the shower and food deliveries.

Service was hit or miss; while some staff were accommodating and attentive, I had to wait endlessly to get answers from the front desk and faced issues with room service. Not what I expected.

6.6/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is stunning with beautiful water views, the service really fell short during our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, which was a plus, but I was quite taken aback by the lack of acknowledgment for our special occasion. Overall, the hotel has potential, but the service definitely needs improvement to match what one would expect from a resort spa.

I had a wonderful experience at this resort, enjoying great service and beautiful views while dining at their outdoor areas and using the pool.

My stay at Gurney's was quite disappointing, especially considering the high expectations I had. The hotel feels worn out, with significant wear and tear evident in the rooms and common areas. While the location offers a lovely pool area, and the staff attempted to be helpful, the overall experience didn't justify the hefty price tag.

Rooms

The room was outdated and had marks on the walls, which made it feel less luxurious than expected for the price. Additionally, it was stocked poorly, lacking basics like bedding for the sofa bed.
