The Bristol Harbor Inn is a charming hotel that is close to good restaurants,pubs and some small shops. The rooms range from charming suites with a pullout couch in a separate area from the main bedroom to a quaint fireplaced room. Many rooms have great views . The staff is always accomodating. We are looking forward to our stay for... More

RWC will return. Great rooms, excellent proximity to taverns, Thames and DaWolf's. Best view of Prudence Island and Narragansett Bay. The Roger Williams Campus attracts alums from the 70's...and others. Accommodations outstanding. This sunny weekend keeps Smitty's flock coming back to Bristol.

My wife and I just returned from a weekend in beautiful Bristol, RI. It would have been a great weekend had it not been for our last night at the Bristol Harbor Inn. First, you get what you pay for. Though the website makes it look an upscale hotel, the room prices match the condition and décor – it’s fine,... More

I recently visited Bristol with my husband and son for a family event. We arrived Saturday and left on Friday. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but the location of the Inn was fantastic. We booked a suite which had a separate room for my son. He especially loved the flat screen TV. The size of the suite was quite adequate... More

My husband and I were visiting friends in Rhode Island recently and stayed for two nights in one of the 'Premier Queen' rooms. The room was far from 'premier'.We had booked the room online after looking through their website, and had opted for the 'premier queen' since it looked to be the nicest from the online photos. We were excited... More

Ok, so let me start by saying the location of the Bristol Harbor Inn is great and in a perfect location for walking historic Bristol, RI. But other than the location the Inn, or rather hotel, is nothing special. This is disappointing considering the cost of a night can run from $150 - over $200. My wife and I booked... More

The room was warm & cozy, but the guests in the other rooms were very noisy, either partying or arguing, but either way I couldn't sleep..plus the doors slam. Noise from the street was loud, too. This place is close to bars and patrons coming out of bars were rowdy. Not a good place to stay if you're looking for... More

I recently stayed at the Inn on the last leg of a move to New York....moving those last few precious items. I parked directly in front and everything was safe. I was so comfortable in a lovely room with a fireplace, I stayed an extra day! Unfortunately, the next week I had to return to Bristol for a memorial service....and... More

My husband and I stayed recently for a wedding in the area. The Inn's location is great as it is right on the water and close to several great restaurants and some interestering shops. Location aside, the inn was nothing special, particularly for the price. You are paying for location clearly. The rooms are quite small although clean and bright.... More

This hotel still feels like it is not quite complete. The fitness room is still a work in progress. When I arrived, there was absolutely no parking due to a wedding. I couldn't even unload my car and had to park a few blocks away. The room was very clean, but it was noisy. There was a wedding one night... More
