Worst hotel ever, and we travel A LOT!

If I could give this hotel a zero I would! It was so bad that we booked a different hotel for our third night just to get out of there. Run down, dirty, noisy, no service, put us in 1st room on main floor even though we asked for upper floor for quiet. Felt unsafe due to sketchy people likely living there.

Initially we were happy to stay, but we had an unanticipated bank emergency come up. We had a relative send us money to pay for the rest of our stay but it was delayed by a bank error. Rather than listen to my explanation the on duty manager yelled at me to get out and pack our belongings. Then she proceeded to call the room every 5 minutes demanding that I leave before my belongings were packed.

It was a place to lay our head. This is a very old, run down hotel. The entire place reeked of weed. In the first room they gave us there was a colony of ants on the window sill's. When we went to complain they changed our room but when asked about a discount it was NO.. take new room or leave with refund was the response.

Don’t stay

Very run down with chipped paint, leaking faucet and you have to go down the street to get a coffee. There was food in my fridge from a previous guest.

One thing should be said. There is no coffee in the morning. Everything else was great but not having coffee for guests is a big fail. How much would it cost to have a pot of coffee in the lobby ?

The place was completely outdated and extremely dirty. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls. There was an awful smell in our room. We couldn’t even sleep in the bed because the bedding was so gross. We had to stay on the couches in the living room part of the area.

Old and poorly maintained. Stained towel, black stain on shower curtain, hole (maybe from old light) in ceiling. No coffee available at all in the hotel. Requested enough towels for the two people on reservation and the desk told me to come get them. When I requested the WiFi password the woman at didn’t know what it was.

I booked this place to go on vacation at Misquamicut and thought it was nearby so it would be great. The reviews were 7.4 stars which wasn’t terrible compared to some of the other hotels so I was like why not we’ll give it a shot. I ended up being very wrong when the staff wasn’t very friendly at check-in and then I go up to my room and I immediately put on my air conditioner mind you it’s like 82 outand wait for it to cool down so I take a shower in the meantime then I come out to my room and it still hasn’t cooled down. I waited two hours.
