Need help with Newport Lodging -- Cheep Cheep!

Visiting Newport in early May and looking for suggestions on cheap, clean accommodation. Could be a motel or B%26amp;B - prefer to keep it under $80 if possible. I appreciate any recommendations!

Also, How long does it take generally to drive between Newport and Mystic, CT? Thank you!

About an hour between Mystic and Newport...

AS far as cheap places to stay.....what part of the week? Weekends will be higher than mid-week, but, other than Memorial Day weekend, you should be able to find deals because the season hasn;t really kicked in yet.

If you%26#39;re able, 3 and 4 stars on Hotwire will put you right downtown....also, try calling www.newportreservations.com they have alot of knowledge about the various B%26amp;B%26#39;s throughout town, and it%26#39;s a free service.

There is a Motel 6 that isn;t too bad, if you%26#39;re looking for really cheap lodging, or some chains out in Middletown (Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, etc) On weekends, they are mostly full of wedding guests so it%26#39;s not too bad....for cheap accomodations.

Hi,

We visited Newport while staying in Mystic as an easy day trip. I%26#39;m not sure how long you plan to spend in each place, but I would seriously consider staying outside Newport, especially if you are on a budget.

We stayed at the Days Inn in Mystic and found it quite nice. I believe we were there in 2001. There%26#39;s quite a bit in the Mystic area, such as the seaport, aquarium and the casinos (Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun), along with some other attractions. Even if you visited Newport for a couple of days, you could easily drive from Mystic both days.

Have a good time!

There is a Motel 6 in Newport which is new and clean and the rooms in the back or nice and quiet. There are also some chain motels in Middletown, not far from Npt.

i stay at the Travelodge in Middletown...it%26#39;s on the main drag and easy to get in and out of. It is clean and the staff is very friendly AND affordable.

Just be aware that the Motel 6 in Newport is right across the street from the waste treatment plant and an adult video store. It%26#39;s not an unsafe area, but you should know about this. I%26#39;d look into the Travelodge or the Holiday Inn Express in Middletown.
