The focus is on fun and relaxation at this resort that’s tucked behind downtown Egg Harbor in a quiet residential area bordering a large green space. The expansive lobby includes a cozy living room area with blue leather sofas and armchairs facing a gas fireplace with a rustic stone mantel, inviting visitors to linger and perhaps skim a book from the lending library. There's also a round oak table that holds a checkerboard, as well as computers available for guests' use. It’s hard to imagine children staying seated at this friendly resort for long, however, with a video arcade, two pools, and two well-designed play areas (both indoor and outdoor). The free bicycles the resort offers are also popular with families who want to explore the quaint village and miles of waterfront. The dining area, where a continental breakfast is served daily, and the picnic pavilion with several gas grills are also popular places where guests mingle at this casual resort.

This resort is in a residential community in Egg Harbor directly across from a prairie-like green space, just a two-minute drive or 12-minute walk to the Egg Harbor Marina on Lake Michigan. Some restaurants and shops are within a three- to five-minute walk, and others are a short drive away. Stonehedge Golf is a two-minute drive, and the Alpine Country Club golf course can be reached in five minutes by car. Sturgeon Bay and Peninsula State Park are about a 20-minute drive, while Potawatomi State Park is 35 minutes away. The airports at Green Bay and Milwaukee are approximately 75 minutes and three hours, respectively. 

The Newport's apartment-like suites are spacious and clean, and come in one- and two-bedroom options. Their simple decor is homey, if bland and a bit dated, and includes wood furniture, nautical-themed art on beige walls, and gray patterned carpet typically seen in mid-range hotels. Suites have queen sleeper sofas in their living rooms that also feature gas fireplaces, upholstered armchairs, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. Master bedrooms also have flat-screen TVs, while Two-Bedroom Suites add a second bathroom as well. Dining areas are furnished with round oak tables and chairs, while kitchens come with island bars, sinks and dishwashers, plus stoves/ovens, microwaves, full-size fridges, toasters, coffeemakers, and oak cabinets with pots, pans, glasses, and utensils. Both One- and Two-Bedroom Suites have a “Premium” option that features an upgraded bedding package, rainfall showerheads, and illuminated magnifying mirrors. Bathrooms are average size and rather basic, with the exception of the whirlpool jets in the shower/tub combos. Some larger suites have separate whirlpool tubs and small walk-in showers enclosed behind glass doors. Each suite also has a private balcony with a table and chairs, and overlook a nearby cherry orchard and green space behind the property. Room rates include daily housekeeping and free Wi-Fi, though there are reports of spotty coverage.

The Newport offers a host of on-site features that appeal to families. There's an outdoor and indoor pool and a large indoor whirlpool and sauna. Both areas have lounge chairs and tables. Kids can also make use of the indoor and outdoor children’s play areas with jungle gym/playhouse set ups, while the arcade includes video and pinball machines. Guests are free to borrow books, DVDs, and board games from the hotel's collection, plus free bicycle rentals are available. 

There's no full restaurant at Newport, but a free continental breakfast is included in room rates. There's also free coffee and hot chocolate in the lobby that's available throughout the day. The dining area includes a microwave. An on-site convenience shop sells gifts, sundries, snacks, frozen entrees, and beverages including beer and wine. Vending machines are also available, and a picnic pavilion includes several gas grills and tables with seating. 

The hotel's fitness center isn't super roomy, but it has cardio and weight-training machines and free weights. Two computer stations offer Internet access, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout, although some guests report that reception is spotty. Free on-site parking is also available.
