Stayed for St. Patrick’s weekend. Newport area has a lack of affordable option on busy holiday weekend. This fit the bill, the motel, has been modernized, with cosmetic enhancements from its late 80’s decor. Also enhanced security. Which I’m sure was welcomed by locals.
As far as the actual hotel facilities, it would cost significantly more, and if so this place wouldnt be affordable anymore.
It’s comfortable with caveats.
Heat you can’t control in your room. It’s central for the entire building. Work around, crack open a window.
Doors rattled, also fixable, but you will need to put a wash cloth on door jam to stop rattling.
* This is actually fixable & a small cost, as it’s just adding a small seal to doors.
Breakfast was fine, just carb heavy. No protein options.
I didn’t care too much about extras since I was out digging clams.
Room had larger than average TV for hotels.
In general, this is a sleep for the night kinda place. But don’t expect much more. If it’s this place or another for your fussy family member. Then don’t choose this place unless your budget conscious and understand the caveat's.
