10 Motels in Rhode Island: Best hotel deals for 2023

April 19, 2023 Alida England

With the perfect combination of great seaside views, colorful local culture, and endless family activities, Rhode Island is a big vacation destination in a small package. Whether you are into art and culture, beautiful seaside sights, or great family-friendly activities, there is sure to be something for you in Rhode Island. If you're staying in Newport, try a breathtaking tour of the harbor in the Schooner Madeleine, or enjoy a bit of history at Fort Adams State Park. The Newport mansions are one of the most popular attractions around, and the nearby Cliff Walk is a great place for a hike. Narragansett is home to the lovely Narragansett Town Beach and Point Judith Lighthouse, and if you hop on the Block Island Ferry you are only a short trip away from Block Island, where you can enjoy the sights of the Mohegan Bluffs or party it up at Capt. Nick's Rock and Roll Bar. Take a drive up to Providence for some great shopping at Providence Place Mall and to visit the unforgettable Roger Williams Park Zoo.

Try to figure out something about everyone touching everything while we're still in covid. Maybe limit touching and hand employees touch items for customers. I made waffles and had to touch handle after someone else, no wipes close by to wipe before touching it.

Stayed here in December improvements were being done....you could tell this visit. My bedding was fine, towels are very nice and my room was very clean. Housekeeping needs a raise. The GM of this BW is very nice.

Booked through Expedia but had to cancel 7 days in advance. Hotel policy is 72 hours so should have been no problem. Received confirmation of the cancellation. Also, for some reason, the motel charged me a week before the booking and would not refund. Expedia was no help. The person at the motel told me that despite the cancellation, I was sh*t out of luck and would have to take it up with my credit card company. Scam.

On a last minute whim, we chose to stay at this motel. We were greeted immediately by Jeff and he made us feel comfortable and welcomed. This quaint, retro looking motel is so very clean and quiet. Both Terry and Jeff are hands on and available at all times. The location is perfect. The flowers on the property looks so beautiful and the outside chairs to sit and look at the waterway is calming. I highly recommend this motel if you are looking for cleanliness, friendly and warm service and a great location. Thank you Jeff and terry,

This place deserves more stars ! Highly recommended, clean, neat, warm (winter!), recently-renovated and well-appointed. Can’t recommend it enough. Plus, the new owners are super friendly and gracious folks. This was my first time staying here, but from what I gather, the upgrades that were done have raised the bar in a big way.

Horrible Place! Stay away from this lodge!

Reviewed By X1354WEdarylh

This was the filthiest place I’ve ever stayed. The place seems to have a lot of sketchy “things” going on the rooms on either side had a barrage of people coming and going from 11 pm till 4 am. Some are living here. Drug dealers outside over night over the weekend. Loud bikers and their friends come and go. In the morning I try to use the bathroom and the toilet seat dropped and water leaked. Then I try to take a shower, and there is no soap or shampoo! People can see my room completely from the highway every time I opened the door. Manager is irresponsible.

Read reviews before I booked room for 4 nights. Did not need fancy, wanted quiet and comfortable. Visiting family so only in room to sleep, shower and have Internet access. Almost did not book as took 4 phone calls to get through to motel as was arriving after a 6 hour drive and as small, assumed family owned place did not want to have difficulty checking in due to later arrival and a bit variable arrival time due to drive time and weather. Got through on last call and later arrival secured. Room quiet, comfortable, internet access good, bathroom clean. Only one plastic hanger on rack, a bit of a concern about lock on door as only door knob lock when gone, dead bolt when in room better. Will return as family in area for another year.

For the price, it is a pretty decent motel. The guy who was working at the front desk was very helpful too. They provide good Wifi, Cable TV, a fridge, and microwave. My only issue is that the building has the smell of cigarettes which made it hard to sleep. If you stay here, be sure to get a room towards the entrance or on the upper floors.

Do not stay here

Dirty, smoky, run down, noisy, property is not being naintained at all to even the most basic standards of what any reasonable person would consider acceptable. Insect waste on beds, dog waste on sidewalk, abandoned vehicles in parking lot, trash on hallway floors and widow sills, dogs left alone barking in rooms, holes in drop ceiling, water dripping from ceiling. I could go on.
