The Marshall Slocum Inn is a charming B & B that offers a cozy, clean atmosphere and friendly service. While there were some issues with breakfast accommodations for gluten-free diets, overall the staff was helpful and the food was good. The location is excellent for exploring downtown Newport and nearby attractions. The value for money is notable, especially considering the comfort and amenities provided.

Breakfast had a variety of options, although the gluten-free servings need more care to prevent cross-contamination. The food was tasty overall, but I recommend confirming dietary needs ahead to ensure a pleasant experience.
