We were in Bristol just for an overnight. This facility was close and well priced. The decorating was very nice and the rooms were very clean. We like having a living area and a bedroom. The only downside was that the weather was cold (40 degrees, rainy and raw). The heater did not put off enough heat in the living area. My husband I kept our coats on and had some blankets from our car. The bedroom and bathroom both had comfortable temperatures.

Best stay and value!!!

Was so pleasantly surprised to find this little gem! So clean and well decorated! Loved it! Needed a place close to the Aquidneck Golf club…this was perfect! Quiet too! And three minutes from the property is Mindy’s Asian Cuisine. What a find!!!

The rooms were nicely decorated and parking was very convenient. However, there was hair in our sink and half of the outlets didn't work.

Disliked: Room comfort
Perfect for a one or two night stay. The room looked and smelled clean. Bathroom was stocked with all necessities and clean towels. Designated parking in front of your room is huge! Check in was smooth and check out was contactless making for a quick in and out. Only downside, I feel the mattress has outlived its comfort and needs to be changed and no safe available in the room to store valuables. I would stay here again.
