    You know those commercials for the Holiday Inn Express where people show that they're good at something and they brag how smart they were for staying there? The Motel 6 version is when after you make mistakes in your life, after staying there, you can just say, "Well, I stayed at a Motel 6 the other day.". Their slogan should be, "Motel 6, you only make that mistake once.". And their signature fragrance smells like regret. I can not describe in words how terrible our stay was. This was the state of our room upon arrival: - Our room (and the entire hotel) reeked of smoke - Sticky film in floors and bureau - Stains on the ceiling and wall that looks like vomit - Dirty towels hanging on the walls in the bathroom - Grease stains around the light switches and on the mirror - Holes in the wall and broken shower head - Security lock was broken - Dirty air conditioner that barely worked The entire experience was horrendous. Because we arrived at 10 pm it was too late to drive home.

    Moved the fridge and there was live and dead cockroaches

    Fumigate the entire PLACE! . The room was not what I was expecting, I was in room 105 and after taking a shower unplugging their hairdryer and plugging mine in, I noticed cockroaches coming from the the outlet and then I noticed a few cockroaches running on the bathroom floor I was in complete shock/panic because I've never had a situation like this before. The woman at the front desk was nice It was fro but denied knowing about any bugs? She wanted proof, then was not surprised . The maintenance man Joe is amazing extremely friendly and very helpful. The room was not. I was in room 105 and after taking a shower getting ready for bed I noticed the bathroom was full of cockroaches. I went down to the front desk to let the woman know, and she offered me a different room, room 109 and after getting up in the morning and brushing my teeth, I noticed the bathroom also had dead cockroaches in the bathroom. See attached photos on that also overall I am just grossed out. saying that she did not have any bugs in her facility. I went down there and showed her that she did in fact have bugs I would not recommend staying at the Motel 6. it is infested with cockroaches. If I had booked through Motel 6, I would've gotten a refund and left, but I had booked through a third-party site knowing what I know now I will book through the hotel itself and not through a third-party site anymore.

    This is the worst, filthiest , most disgusting place I've ever stayed. Stinks of cigarettes. I asked for an extra blanket. when it was brought to me it smelled and had a French fry stuck to it. So it wasn't clean. Old towels ..... not fit to dry the dog with. Hole in a lamp shade. One of the outlets didn't have a cover and the electric cable was frayed . A draw completely missing. I wouldn't even touch the filthy phone. Horrible experience

    How is this clean

    Not clean and very noisy to mid night door slamming and yelling in the hall.our room was next to office and night clerk did nothing. Our first room had human hairs in the sheets the second room bath room had pen and a wrapper on floor sink had curtly hairs in sink and razor in tub see pic i would never stay here again would not recommend to any one. With car in parking lot with no plate and a strong pot smell even in non smoking rooms

    Cigarette burn on the covers in a non-smoking room.

    Being a Motel 6, you'd except it to be bad. This Mote 6 is the worst though. I got a non-smoke room and found a cigarette burn in the sheets, and the whole building smells like cigarette. The AC doesn't even work, and there was a poop stain in the toilet upon checking in. There's random marks in the wall where something was but has since been moved/removed, the floors are covered in filth, and you can't even shower because there's no light when the shower curtain is closed. There's also random loud sounds coming from the hallways. Would not recommend.

    Arrived at motel and was there less than 10 minutes. The card didn't work upon first attempt so needed to walk back to the concierge desk to request another key. When finally entered room, the "non-smoking" room wreaked of smoke, the bedding was stained brown on both beds, curtains had moth holes, all giving doubts to sanitation and adherence to cleaning regulations due to COVID19. The other member of my party is allergic/intolerant to cigarette smoke so after surveying we immediately went to checkout, ask for a refund, and seek other accommodations. In expressing the concerns and issues, the middle-aged female manager who clearly needed some a shower declared she would not do anything about it. She said I can cancel but will need to pay a cancelation fee to booking of 50% because we were there for 15minutes and they require notification to cancel after checking in within ten minutes. I asked her for a printed receipt showing the time checked in versus when I requested to leave due to the room. She said she would not provide that and is not required to. She told me to contact booking. She wouldn't offer a receipt if Checkin either or any paperwork that would substantiate my complaint.

    Dirty hallways for 2 days.

We parked in the front and unloaded the cars easily. We did not use valet, the Marriott lot was $48 a night. Walking to the lot next door took about 2 minutes. The lobby is spacious, clean and very pretty. There's a water machine with flavored waters. Front desk staff are very professional and friendly. Valet guys are all nice and open the doors for you 98% of the time. With the daily destination fee, you also get 2 free tickets per room to the sailing museum or a vineyard 15 mins away (Sailing museum is free on Wednesdays). Had I known the museum was free Wednesdays, I would have chose the vineyard tickets instead. You also get $20 per room to use at the bar/restaurants as well as 2 bikes to rent. We checked into connecting balcony rooms. The rooms were clean but the balcony doors were hard to open. You have to pull it back really hard before unlocking it. The beds were comfortable. There are no microwaves but I called in to request one for the room. The first night I went to skiff bar to order some food and use our 2 $20 food credits. I ordered oysters and coconut shrimp. The oyster appetizer was terrible... the oysters flesh was tiny, totally not worth it. The next morning we had the hotel buffet for $32 a head. Omelet station was good. Standard breakfast items, view was good. We really only ate there for the view. Our waitress was barely around. Hotel is at a great location. Very close to the wharf and also right across from a small aquarium. The balcony was a nice place to chill, overall the hotel wasn't crowded. It's also very safe because you need to swipe a keycard to get to the hotel rooms. Best part of staying here was a pool table in the skiff bar. While waiting for my food, I just played two games by myself. I usually stay at Hiltons but I chose this Marriott because of the location and views. Glad I made this decision. I would definitely pick this hotel again should I decide to visit Rhode Island again!

The lobby, rooms, and common areas are always clean, which we really appreciate. The staff is great, and they were even able to check my family in before I arrived, which made things super easy.

For the evenings, there's a great bar and a little side area for the kids (pool table and some other games), which is a nice touch. We'll definitely be back--see you again soon.

A newly…read morerenovated boutique hotel, this is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for something less massive than a hotel, but more involved than a bed and breakfast. My boyfriend and I decided to make a night of it, and check into this super cute hidden gem, nestled right behind the Newport Art Museum and steps from Bellevue Avenue and the Newport Mansions district. The facility and the rooms are sparkling clean, and don't even get me started about the decor! It is to die for - quirky, fun, and super Instagram-friendly. They are owned by Lark Hotels, a small company, and the bird details are subtly present throughout. My favorite nod to their namesake was an adorable Do Not Disturb sign that hung on the guestroom door reading "Shh.. We're Nesting." It honestly took all my willpower not to steal it! Ahem. We had a great experience with Peter, the Attwater's Front Desk Manager. Not only did he call us prior to check in to see if he could assist with anything we would need, he also upgraded us from the small Queen room that we had booked to the spacious Lark Suite, their largest accommodation. The suite had a gas fireplace, soaking tub, and gorgeous seating area with a dining table and several cozy couches and armchairs. We were super grateful for his hospitality, and even when we had a minor issue with the heating system in the room not lowering, Peter assisted us in the morning and generously offered vouchers for a future night stay. Thank you for your attention to detail and hospitality! I also LOVED the fact that the Attwater offers hot items in their included breakfast. We stay at a lot of small bed and breakfasts as stay and vacations, and one can only have so many cranberry muffins or glazed croissants. They did offer morning pastry standbys, but I was delighted to find a warm and delicious Cheddar Hash Brown Egg Bake and Shredded Brussels Slaw with Hard Boiled Eggs among the offerings. It really took the stay to the next level, and as a couple that stays at several B&Bs and small hotels, it did not go unnoticed! We can't wait for our next chance to visit :)

I loved the location of this hotel and the clean lines of the common spaces and rooms. However the $45 valet parking fee is ridiculous at the end of the season (10/28). Offer a self service option for half that - but, oh, wait, UPP owns the hotel lot too, as well as pretty much all parking in Newport. Certainly there were a lot of hotel amenities missing at this price point as others have mentioned (very small gym, and no coffee makers, no microwave, no mini fridge in room (nor safes), but also the daybed was dusty and the TV lacked options, which may have been ok, but I couldn't even mirror my own device/streaming service to the TV. Ideally you're not in your hotel room when in Newport, but if you're here for work and need some down time, those are all minuses. If you don't plan to spend much time in your room and don't mind paying $45 for parking, this is a decent option for its location.

If you are not one of the lucky three that gets a spot in the side lot you have to park in the garage and the garage is tight. Tight tight, tighter than tight, as tight as you can get. Put it this way, it took me about 15 minutes to safely pull into a space in absolute fear I was going to hit a pole or the car parked next to me. When it was time to pull out, torture, luckily someone who worked here saw me struggling and he offered to get in and do it for me. Even for him, it took multiple attempts to steer clear of any objects. It's a real pain in the ass I can't sugar coat it. Next negative, the toilet in my room wouldn't flush. That was frustrating and when I told the front desk attendant she wasn't' surprised so this must be a thing. Also, whenever I walked into my bedroom I got a wet sock, there was a leak of some sort I think it may have been coming from the air conditioner unit up above but I can't be too sure. Next negative, the outlets are crappy, anything I plugged in was super loose I really had to jam it in there and that was the case with every outlet, some were unusable because of how loose they were. Lastly, the shower was scalding hot, scalding. I adjusted the temperature but no matter which way I turned it was different levels of scalding. I had to let the shower run for five minutes before I could get in there and I like a hot shower. This temperature was hospital burn status. Okay the real last thing, no elevator. I had to lug up two flights of stairs with my big ass suitcase but is it Mill Street Inn's fault that I packed a weeks worth of stuff for one night or is that a me problem? As I'm mentioning all these negatives I'm wondering if 4 stars is appropriate but I'm sticking with it and I'll tell you why. The room was beautiful and enormous. I stayed in a suite with a dining room table and chairs, a couch, coffee table, multiple arm chairs, huge bed with the most comfortable pillows I have ever experienced in my entire life. Dreamy I tell you, like melting in but not too much, just perfect. The bathroom vanity counter was enormous. I had so much room to put out all of my things, much appreciated. The location could not have been better. One block away from the main street, the easiest walk to everywhere. Also tucked away in a beautiful neighborhood so it was safe, cozy and quiet. I walked back from a night out by myself and felt extremely safe doing so. The lobby is beautiful, they had complimentary sangria and complimentary water with lemons and limes. They had every board game you could imagine, I loved that. There was a fitness center with canned electrolyte infused waters, they had a beautiful roof top which I had entirely to myself both times I went up there. Gorgeous views of the neighborhood and the water. I loved my time up there it was serene and relaxing with tons of tables and chairs for lounging. They had complimentary breakfast served to your door in the morning. The night before you pick and choose what you want from each category and there was plenty to choose from. I ordered an organic cold brew, two hard boiled eggs, granola, and something else, anyways everything came to the door at the exact minute I asked for it to be delivered and it was delicious. Also, they give you a welcome bag with snacks when you arrive! There were pretzels, a massive bag of popcorn and sea salt caramels. I thought that was such a special touch. Anyways, looking back there were a lot of annoyances that could have aggravated me but there were so many good things about my stay that the good overshadowed the bad and I would 100% stay here again.
