Ivy Lodge

Where should I start... I booked the whole Ivy Lodge for my son and daughter in-laws wedding. All of the bridesmaids and grooms stayed which made it a very special weekend. Wesley was amazing to deal with from the very beginning. Jackie was a gracious host and Wesley's brother was the chef that cooked our amazing breakfast every morning. The rooms were fantastic, the porch was a wonderful place to relax on. The staff kept everything spotless. It is absolutly an amazing place to stay and we cannot wait to go back. Do not hesitate to book the Ivy Lodge!

This is a very beautiful B & B that's located on a lovely street in a fabulous neighborhood. I can't imagine a more charming place to stay. The common areas are gorgeous, and the rooms are beautifully decorated. The porch is a delightful place to relax, whether it's early morning, afternoon or evening. Breakfast, a gourmet treat, is served starting from 8:30, but coffee is available about an hour or so earlier. Cake and cookies are available throughout the day. The minute we checked in, we were given a tour by Wesley, who was very friendly and welcoming. The entire staff was lovely, and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. Thank you for making our stay in Newport very special. We are looking forward to returning to Ivy Lodge in the future.

We stayed here for three nights in one of the attic rooms. The room was very cosy and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was lovely - the owners informed us each morning what they were making that day (we heard other guests ask for different things, which the owner happily accommodated) and we liked the concept of no menus and eating what we were given, which was very tasty. We forgot to pack our beach towels and the owners happily provided us with some for the day. The wrap around porch was beautiful to sit and read on overlooking the peaceful garden. Complimentary tea and coffee facilities were available in the communal area, along side homemade cakes and cookies each day. Felt like a home from home. If we returned to Newport, we would without a doubt stay here again.

Very nice lodge, very clean with excellent breakfast and 24 hour coffee and tea with desserts. We had a fireplace in our room as well. Two nice sitting rooms as well to enjoy a drink and dessert. Very close to mansions. We stayed in the Satterly Suite which has a smaller connecting room. My only complaint is that there is a step up to get to the smaller room which I didn't see and tripped over hurting my right knee. Hopefully this will be addressed by the owner. Otherwise wonderful stay.

I've been to the IVY Lodge many times over the years and I keep going back! Each room is so unique, cozy, super clean and comfortable. The owners and staff are professional, accommodating and friendly. The wrap around porch/deck is so peaceful, great place to have coffee and read or just listen to the birds and look at the flowers. Every morning breakfast is unique and he Alve Regina entrance to the stairs, 5 min walk, check out the cliff walk. There so much to do near by, whether one walks, rents the electric bike or drives. Great restaurants. IVY Lodge is also very peaceful and very well maintained. I'll continue to go!

Stayed at the Ivy Lodge Nightmare on Clay St from July 7-9. Had an unpleasant experience. Booked the room 5 months in advance for a destination wedding in Rhode Island and choose a room online with Wesley. Recommended by the bride's mother. First time in Newport, excited to explore the city and visit the mansions. Checked in with Wesley around 12-12.15 pm on Friday. He showed us some places to visit. Given the Van Alen room. About 1.5 hours later, while we were out for lunch, Wesley called and admitted that he had given us the wrong room. He asked if we could move, but we explained that we were unable to do so immediately and would sort it out later. We had already used the bathroom, unpacked our clothes, and had personal items in the room. Wesley insisted that we move out by 3 PM as he had another guest coming in. We reiterated that we couldn't leave right away and would check in at the inn after lunch. About 20 minutes later, Wesley called back, leaving a message that he had resolved the issue and everything was fine with the room( on my voicemail) After lunch, we headed back to the inn, which was two hours after Wesley's call. At that time, Jacqui, Wesley's mother and the innkeeper, called in a sneering voice with a nasty attitude and accused me of being inflexible about moving and causing her son to give away our room to other guests. She claimed that her son had asked us to move just ten minutes after we checked in, but I corrected her, stating that he called 1.5 hours later. She also falsely claimed that her son had offered to move us and compensate us for a night, which never happened. I explained to her that her son had left a message on my phone two hours ago, stating that everything was sorted out. It was clear that she was not aware of this. However, she insisted that we had to leave immediately and demanded that we grab our bags. She was essentially throwing us out. It was an unbelievable situation, and I have never been treated in such a deplorable manner as a paying guest. We were repeatedly harassed by both Wesley and Jacqui. This was outright discrimination in the year 2023. There was no reason for her behavior. I am very sure this would have never happened to us if we were white. I explained to her that we are here for a wedding and that the bride’s mother recommended her Inn. We were willing to go to the Marriot and we told her we can do so if she pays for it. She refused. Jacqui’s solution was that we have to leave and again . She was adamant on throwing us out and insisting we leave. Wow! There was no reason for her behavior. I am very sure this would have never happened to us if we were white. She is in the hospitality business and she is a nasty woman with a bad attitude. I told her we needed to be at the wedding for 12.30 pm on Saturday and no time to find or move to another place except the Marriot. I suggested since we have used our room and the other guests also used theirs we can make the switch on Saturday as a
