The location was clean. The room was very spacious. It was quiet and immediately I felt like I was at home. Spacious and it has a small fridge, microwave and kureg for coffee. I favorited this location and will be sure to return when I am back in Rhode Island. I rate the location 5/5. Plenty of parking space free on property, no breakfast …

Convenient location away from the pricey side of Newport, immaculately clean, fresh makeover of an old school motel.

The room design and accommodations were just beautiful. I loved the microwave and mini refrigerator colors and the whole decor. It was a little bright in the morning and they could use some blackout shades to make it easier to sleep in. Overall, it was a spacious accommodation and I’m really happy I chose it

Lived up to expectations

Room was updated, but small. Location is quiet and felt safe. Chose this location based on price relative to others in the area and positive reviews. It lived up to my expectations. The only issue i had was choice of footboard on the bed. It had a pointy corner hidden under the bedspread. We both cracked a shin on it multiple times.

We stayed in a suite which was obviously very recently renovated. It was clean and comfortable. The a/c worked very well. There was a Keurig for coffee and a large mini-fridge. The grounds were well-kept with areas to sit with a group and chat or eat. There was a lovely fountain and flowers throughout the property. Would definitely recommend!

The motel was nice. It was clean, the decorations were modern, and check in/out was easy. My only complaint is there isn't much directly around it. There's a few nice places to eat 5-10 min drive away but nothing walkable.

Room smelled of cleaning solution. Nice to have microwave and small fridge, but no utensils to go with them. Nice coffee mugs. Couch old and uncomfortable. Great location & beautifully kept property.

Basic but clean hotel.

This is a motel (no pool) that has been refurbished...using the lowest priced items from HD. It is very clean and my room had a small fridge and microwave. No door on the closet and outlets were very few and illogically placed. The sofa bed was old and the mattress was about 2" thick so I opted to sleep on the sofa itself. None of this deterred me - I would stay again.
