181024-N-JW440-0026 NEWPORT, R.I. (Oct. 24, 2018) The new Navy Gateway Inns & Suites (NGIS) transient lodging facility located onboard Naval Station Newport, R.I., features a large patio area where guests can barbecue or relax by the water. The facility, which broke ground on Aug. 21, 2015, and traces its origins back to 2007 when the need for additional lodging became apparent, is the first hotel built by the Navy, and the first NGIS funded entirely by funds rendered by guest room charges at NGIS locations within the Mid-Atlantic Region.
