I've been here several times since my daughter goes to Roger Williams University It's only a very short distance away and it's reasonably priced. The only negative thing that I have to say is the rooms book up early if the college has an event going on.

I’ve stayed here 3 times. Everything about this place is lovely. 3 different rooms and each as comfortable as the last. Parking is convenient for you have an empty space is right in front of your room. Rooms are also super clean with a nice mounted TV, fridge, and coffee station. Also the staff at the front desk is always great. Worth every penny. Thank you for your consistency Founders Brook

Wonderful place. You can tell they take a lot of pride with this property. The room was really comfortable and exceptionally clean. The decor was pleasing and unlike any other motel I have stayed in. Check in was easy and during my 3 night stay it was very quiet. Which was greatly appreciated. I’d recommend Founders Brook Motel and Suites to everyone. Thank you for this gem. I’ll definitely be back
