By air to Providence:
The T.F. Green airport
outside of Providence,
RI, is the closest
airport to Newport. The
best way to get to the
William Gyles Guesthouse
from the airport is by a
minivan shuttle service
run by Cozy Cab. Cost
from airport to Newport
is $20 one way. For
reservation call
1-800-846-1502 if out of
the area or 401-846-2500
if in Rhode Island. Ask
them to drop you off at
the William Gyles
Guesthouse in Newport.
The people from Cozy Cab
may want to drop you off
at a hotel near the
hostel rather than at the
hostel. If so, have them
drop you off at the
Marriott Hotel in
downtown Newport. From
there you can get to the
hostel by catching a
local cab ($4) or by
walking 15 minutes along
the waterfront (beautiful
walk!). This scenario
could happen because you
are taking an airport
“shuttle” which costs
$20, not a private taxi,
which costs $75. If they
drop you off at the
hostel when taking the
shuttle, thank them
profusely because they
went out of their way for
you and gave you special
treatment. For more
