    The bathroom was dirty. The toilet paper was half used. There was an opened hotel bar of soap and an opened dove bar of soap in the shower. The shower floor and bathroom floor were dirty. Just feels gross staying there overall but it's also a motel 6 and i just needed a place to sleep for the Newport Jazz Festival. However, we did not receive a duvet, just two bedsheets; i probably should have asked for one.

    The employees were very kind and helpful. I really like the location, how it is right by a strip mall with a stop and shop, walmart, dollar tree, and other nice restaurants. 20-30 mins away from newport jazz festival.

    Very noisy at night, people were loud in the halls, neighbors were loud at night all 4 nights. Did not feel very safe! Hallway was dirty, room was dirty and was a “smoking room “ which I tried to change ahead of time, but I could not get an answer via email or phone. The door barely latched, key card had to be reset twice. I had to ask for more towels and washcloths (only 1 washcloth and 1 towel).

    Water was hot……

    Paid $265 for a motel room with only a small soap and one 12”x12” towel in the room. Had to ask for a large towel and a small shampoo at the reception, which they gave me with the comment “that’s all we have left”…

    Not much to like, it needs a complete overhaul

    Nothing!

    GM put me on the do not rent to list and never called me back . I was in a non smoking room and the lock was busted, the tub dropped all night, inadequate heat, and burn margs on the tub. This is after I spent 350.00 in 2 weeks. 3 different visits after losing my wife. Just don't even go to this place!!

    I booked a disabilty non smoking king room . I got a double room on the 2nd floor. It took 5 attempts for the clerk to find my paid for reservation. the Marijuana smell was so bad we were struggling to breathe. At check-in, the clerk said most of the side entrance doors didn't work. We found face towels holding most of them open. When we went out for dinner, we were advised to park elsewhere like at Walmart and not to leave anything in our vehicle. when we returned at the end of the night, we found our remote control for the tv missing a battery. when we went to the front desk, we couldn't wake up the clerk - it took several times, in order to get batteries. One of the beds had hairs and some sort of seeds/filrh in the sheets. this is absolutely crazy for over $300 for 1 night. I don't care what is happening in the area. This is just WRONG
