Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships July 9-15, 2007

Considering traveling solo to the tennis tournament to see pro%26#39;s play on grass. I%26#39;ll be walking or taking public transportation to get around. Is there a decent inexpensive motel or b%26amp;b near the tennis museum for a woman to stay alone there, yet still be near eateries and cultural things to do? Any advice would be appreciated. Tennis is my reason for flying in, though I%26#39;d love to do the cliff walk, if I can figure out how to get there!

You%26#39;ll have no problem getting around Newport so you really need not worry about staying near the Tennis Hall of Fame. The closest hotel to the HOF is the Viking, but at that time of year, the prices are going to be their highest. If you are not staying for the finals, (the weeekend) you might be able to find some mid-week deals.

Newport has a great Trolley bus system that will take you all over town, or you can walk most everywhere if you%26#39;re up for it. The Cliff Walk is not hard to locate, just find a map, or ask the hotel and they will give you a help. Also www.cliffwalk.com has more info as well.

For help with reservations, try visiting: www.newportreservastions.com

They are a free service, and can help with finding a B%26amp;B or Inn that might suit your budget.....there are so many in town, that they are the best resource for knowing what%26#39;s around.

There are also some cheaper ';chain hotels'; in nearby Middletown, if you will have a car.....but you might end up spending your savings on parking in Newport.

Also, not sure if you%26#39;re committed to the Campbell%26#39;s Tournament.....but they are starting a NEW tournament this year with John McEnroe, Mats Wilander, and Jim Courier among others....that will be in August, and there might be some better deals late in the summer....unfortunately, the Hall of Fame inductions will have already happened.

Has anyone actually attended this tournament? What%26#39;s it like?

Considering the William Gyles Guesthouse hostel. Anyone stay here before? If I go, I%26#39;m assuming that the Hall of Fame induction and SF/Final showcases the tournament the best. Sampras is getting inducted and playing a exhibition match which sounds like a must-see event as long as I%26#39;m there, flying in from Portland, OR.

I%26#39;ve been to the event several times....it doesn%26#39;t attract the big names, but it%26#39;s a fun environment.

The early rounds there are several matches going on simultaneously, and not very exciting IMO. The weekend of the SF/Finals, it definitely gets better. The grounds are fun, and Newport itself has alot going on as well.

Sampras will be inducted on Saturday and play his exhibition on Sunday (It%26#39;s a separate admission than the Finals)

Don%26#39;t know about the Hostel...in fact, never really new it was there....it%26#39;s right in the thick of things, and a nice walk to the HOF.

Everything in Npt is walking distance, lots to see and do right in that location too. The Tennis Hall of Fame is lovely and very historic. There is a Hydranga B%26amp;B(or something like that) on Memorial Blvd half way between THF %26amp; Cliff Walk. But I%26#39;m sure it won%26#39;t be inexpensive.

And there is a van shuttle from the airport that will drop you off or pick you up whereever you want in Npt. Its 20.00 I think. Have fun.
