Services
Standing stately among her peers this lovely Victorian home, the Marshall Slocum Inn, resides in the Kay-Catherine area of Newport, Rhode Island, a residential area developed in the 1850s at the beginning of Bellevue Avenue. Marshall and Catherine Slocum built it in 1855 when the estate of Henry Bull VI was settled and the land subdivided and developed.
Concierge services and guest assistance are generally available between the hours of 7am-7pm. If the Innkeeper is not immediately present in the kitchen/dining area or if there is an emergency during after hours please call the Innkeeper's Quarters at 401-477-6520. For your convenience a selection of food and beverages are available for sale in the cafe.
Our cafe includes regionally sourced items for breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks, and dessert. A full selection of beverages are available 24 hours a day. Pastries are baked in house and we are proud to offer many local items from area farms and creameries. Items are available for purchase and can be enjoyed in your room, on our extensive grounds and back deck, or, to go to enjoy on the Cliff Walk or Ocean Drive.
Dana and I met while working at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts where we discovered our mutual dream of opening a hotel in Newport, RI. Dana was a natural fit for owning and operating an Inn. Having grown up at her parent's Bed and Breakfast on Nantucket Island for fifteen years, Dana knew from an early age that the hospitality field was a natural career path for her.
America's Cup will turn left by the harbor/wharf area and turn into Memorial Boulevard at a traffic light. Follow Memorial uphill less than a half-mile and turn left at your second traffic light (Bellevue Avenue). Follow Route 114 into Middletown. After passing Home Depot and Staples on your right, there will be a stoplight.

We stayed in the apartment. It was perfect for us. Nice and quiet, very clean, owners are very friendly and helpful and the have the BEST pastries for purchase! I never thought I liked croissants until I had these. Location is out of the way of all the hustle and bustle of the port but close enough to walk to everything. Highly recommend!

Beautiful old house, 6 or 7-minute walk from historic downtown, loved the contactless check-in process and easy diy purchase of breakfast etc with a portable device. Host was available by chat and present in the morning to visit with. Also loved the free candy “buffet.”

My husband and I had the most fantastic stay at the Marshall Slocum Inn. I would recommend the spot to anyone looking for a fabulous place close to all the Newport action. It’s clean, cozy and romantic! Can’t wait to come again!

I cannot say enough great stuff about this place. We were in town for a family wedding and the inn was just perfect for our stay. The rooms are comfy and cozy and very quiet. The outdoor space was great! We hung out with the family and as people were coming and going we offered drinks and conversation. Excellent coffee and small breakfast items. You know how people say location, location, location….well, this inn is in a GREAT location! A quick walk into town and you have everything at your finger tips. Shopping, coffee, lobster rolls. This was my first trip to Newport, and I know I will be back

Quaint small rooms with a unique flare of eclectic Newport style! What a cool concept for rooms with a small bedroom area in the lower level of the room and a spiral staircase leading to the bath area with a private shower and toilet area. Really would give 4.5☆ to be honest and only reason was lack of friendliness from "staff" or ownership. We were left alone and it was private but not necessarily welcoming. We had to just find our way around and weren't sent off from our stay with even a smile, let alone a "thank you for staying with us". The location is fabulous and parking was easy behind

This was my first time staying here and it was a phenomenal experience. From the moment I arrived, I could tell the owner had great attention to detail. My room was the cleanest room I have ever stayed in. The bed was really comfortable and I like that each room had individually controlled ac. The owner was so nice and very attentive. Plus, the location is perfect. Right off of Bellevue. If I ever go back to Newport- this is where I will be staying.

Stayed a night in the "Snuggery" room. Pretty cool to have a two story room with a spiral staircase! Pros: free parking, great location in historic neighborhood within walking distance to main drag, clean, easy check-in, good price, and friendly owner. Cons: breakfast not included, but Cru Cafe down the street was delicious! Would stay again.

This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast and we are big fans! We were treated so good and felt so comfortable. Best night's sleep I've ever had on vacation. The french toast breakfast was unforgettable! We can't wait to go back!
