Fodor's Expert Review Admiral Fitzroy Inn
398 Thames St., Newport, Rhode Island, 02840, USA
The restful retreat in the heart of Newport's bustling waterfront district was once a convent in a different location—the tidy 1854 Victorian building was dismantled in 1986 and rebuilt to its original size and style in its current location. The inn's namesake commanded the HMS Beagle, whose most famous passenger was Charles Darwin, and antiques adorn the rooms, which have either an antique brass or hand-carved wood bed frame; all guests have access to the rooftop deck with a view of the harbor; two have semiprivate decks and hot tubs.
PROS

- Close to shops, restaurants, and bars
- Complimentary parking

CONS
- Some noise from Thames Street in summer

- Rooms are fairly small but it is a historic property
