Shilo Inns Newport Oceanfront is an affordable hotel right on the beach with spectacular, unobstructed ocean views from every room. The location provides easy beach access and is walkable to plenty of great restaurants. Guests describe the staff as very accommodative, kind, responsive, and doing their best to keep the place going. The rooms are described as both cozy and up to date and, alternatively, as outdated—a throwback before USB plugs—but also fresh, clean, and very roomy. The beds are noted as perfect, beyond comfortable, with great pillows. While some find the accommodations pleasant and comfortable, others note the place is run down, with visible cracks, stains, and maintenance issues like leaks. The on-site restaurant and pool are closed. The overall experience is peaceful, with the glorious ocean as the major highlight. It is seen as a great opportunity to enjoy the mighty Pacific close up, ideal for walking on the beach and exploring local fare. Some guests express sadness over its current state, while others appreciate it as an affordable, pleasant coastal getaway with excellent service and a fantastic beachfront location.
