Updated room was spacious and functional. Property was easy to find and get to. Not as rural as online listings indicate; more traffic noise than expected. Overall, everything was as it should be and the price was fair.

The location was clean. The room was very spacious. It was quiet and immediately I felt like I was at home. Spacious and it has a small fridge, microwave and kureg for coffee. I favorited this location and will be sure to return when I am back in Rhode Island. I rate the location 5/5. Plenty of parking space free on property, no breakfast …

The room design and accommodations were just beautiful. I loved the microwave and mini refrigerator colors and the whole decor. It was a little bright in the morning and they could use some blackout shades to make it easier to sleep in. Overall, it was a spacious accommodation and I’m really happy I chose it
