Fodor's Expert Review Inn at Nye Beach

With a prime beachfront location in the historic Nye Beach section of Newport, this chic, eco-friendly, boutique hotel contains 22 rooms and suites. The large rooms have a clean, contemporary, dark-brown-and-tan color scheme and plenty of perks, including DVD players, in-room Steven Smith tea and Portland Roasting coffee (plus French presses), "green" bath amenities, microwaves and refrigerators, and plush bedding. A basic continental breakfast is included, but you can also order reasonably priced room service from nearby Café Stephanie. In-room spa services can also be arranged.
