The Newport Lofts - 617 Thames Street

Very convenient location and amenities. Clean and spacious. Nice to have good parking! Worked great for us!

Just wish the outlets by the sink in the bathrooms upstairs worked.

Overall great

Parking was very difficult in back to fit 2 cars

Very nice, modern, clean. Location was great.

The downstairs power sockets did not work in the bathroom or a few other areas to plug in a hairdryer. A slight inconvenience. If it was an off fuse, we didn’t know where to find the fuse box. Our travel schedule didn’t give us time to contact the property managers.

Location was great and lots of space in apartment

Sliding glass door very difficult to open and close Deck underwhelming

great location!

appliances did not work

The property was very nice, very clean well decorated and comfortable.

couple problems we had was given the wrong code and got locked out. Fortunately the staff responded quickly by phone and reset account I got in. But it was an awful feeling to be locked out and have all our stuff inside including our car keys. The second problem was we had someone come in to check the outlets and breakers that had stopped working. They came in while we were gone but neglected to lock the door upon leaving I just felt that was unacceptable. otherwise everything was great.

The property consists of two rental units but this fact is not obvious from the pictures on the website. We did not get the rooftop deck with a view of the harbor. That belongs to the other unit. The sewer pipes are enclosed in the paper-thin walls of the first floor bedroom of our unit so every time someone flushes the toilet, uses the sink, takes a shower, you can hear water flowing through the pipes followed by loud clanging sound. Along with the loud music, people talking, chairs scraping from the renters in the adjacent unit, and traffic noise, our first night at the property was sleepless. I did call management to complain and thankfully the other renters left the next day and the rest of our stay was peaceful. They do have a “quiet hour” rule but in our case, our neighbor did not adhere to it. Although in the company’s website it says each unit gets 2 parking spots, ours has 1.5 as one spot has the deck posts sitting on it. The property does have a few positives. The unit was spotless, and cookware, kitchen appliances, toiletries, beach towels, hair dryer, iron, washer & dryer are provided. The unit was nicely decorated with comfortable beds. The property is within walking distance to a lot restaurants and shops on Thames Street and The Elms on Bellevue Ave.
