I booked the suite with multiple beds. The room did not look like the pictures as advertised. The room was clean and staff was accommodating. That was the only positive. I noticed that the room only had 1 remote for 2 tv’s. The room did not have any dressers or drawers to put clothes in. The water took forever to get hot in the shower. When I was checking out online, there was an issue with the website and would not let me complete the checkout process. I was forced to make an unnecessary phone call.

The property itself was very nice except for the random short sets of stairs in the hallways, making it difficult for me to get my suitcase up and down them. What I have a problem with was the hidden "resort fee" of $25 a day. If that had been disclosed before I booked, I would have chosen another hotel, and I won't stay here again because I hate that kind of deceptive business practice, not to mention, "resort fee" for what? The pool that I didn't use, because I stayed in September for work?

This hotel was a huge disappointment. I was given a ground-level room at the very end of a gloomy hallway. The room had no drapes at all — just cheap paper/plastic blinds that you had to pull up and down with your fingers. If you rolled them up, there was zero privacy because the window overlooked the parking lot where people constantly walked by. If you kept them down, the room was pitch-dark with barely any lighting, making it feel depressing and claustrophobic. To make matters worse, the flimsy blinds eventually came off the hinge altogether. The bathroom was just as bad — extremely basic, with a tub and a plastic shower curtain that screamed budget motel, not hotel. Overall, the room felt gloomy, uncomfortable, and poorly maintained. Definitely not worth the stay.

The suite was large and the bed was very comfortable. There isn't much space for clothes - no drawers, only a small area with a few hangers and a couple of hooks on the wall. But for just 3 nights, we managed. Checkin was very easy and the staff was great. We enjoyed our breakfast in Little Clam. Although the menu was limited, it was very creative! The location of the hotel is convenient; only a few minutes drive into downtown Newport.
