Newport Bike Path

Très bien situé, beaucoup de charme.

We stayed here a few times when it used to be the « Willard Street inn » and really enjoyed it. We were eager to try the new concept of Lark hotels « Blind Tiger ». Overall, we really missed the warmth of the service we used to have. First, you have to ring a bell to get someone to greet you. A gentleman came down quickly. He explains it’s now a « self service » guest house. At 800$ usd (1100$ cad) for two nights, I was surprised to hear that and tought: « let’s give them a chance ». Room #10 was small and the bed was not comfortable. No tv and no ironing board. No greeding attention, bath products made in China, etc. At a certain price, that is understandable but not at 400$ dollars/night. First morning, we found out it’s a breakfast buffet. You eat in a lounge with a few table and couches. It used to be a full service breakfast with homemade and local freshly baked goods, eggs « à la carte », etc. No employee available… A couple having breakfast in the « lounge » were looking for staff. They tried to ring…No answer. They had to ask a lady in the kitchen for help. Not sure this is the right product for the price. If you want to attract 20-30 year old people in a self service guest house maybe. But unfortunately, as is, it needs improvements. I spoke with Grace on Monday when we left. She was kind and listened. Hopefully, it will help.

l'hôtel charge des frais cachés pour des "conviencies" tels que des chips, chocolat et utilisation du wifi et de la piscine alors que c'est déjà payé dans le prix de l'hôtel ces frais m'ont été chargés (32 $us pour une nuit), une fois que nous avions quitté l'hôtel très ordinaire considérant le prix déjà élevé de l'hôtel
