We stayed for graduation weekend for my daughter in may at the motel, price was right and the service was fantastic, The room was very clean. ESPECIALLY BATHROOM. It was very convenient to Bristol and Newport where we were able to do lots of things. We wil defiantly come back or recommend to anybody.

This motel from the later fifties is one mile from my home and because I am a local they gave me an excellent rate plus a microwave and fridge for the three week stay I needed since my rugs were replaced with real hardwood floors. Yes, it is near a highway but I did not find that an issue. Yes,... More

Stayed with my husband and two kids. My mom and other family members also booked rooms and some walked out the moment they set foot inside. High $$ and dirty. We arrived late at night and didn't have the option of leaving. The room was large in size and terrible smells. It was very dirty and the furniture was very... More

"Sketchy" place: sheets with hair/someone's dirty t-shirt hanging in bathroom/cobwebs/beds very old and uncomfortable/smell. Near noisy highway. Room next to us had 6 men and something wasn't right with the goings on there... VERY uncomfortable night, couldn't leave fast enough in the morning.

We stayed at Founders Brook during a trip to Newport, RI. Having seen some negative reviews on Trip Advisor, we were kind of nervous and not sure what to expect but as soon as we drove in to the parking lot it was apparent that the property was clean and well kept. The grounds were large and well landscaped. The... More

We arrive early for a Wedding in the area and asked if could just change our clothes. The room wasn't ready, but she could give us a suite for $10... More

My family of 5 recently stayed 2 nights. We were in town to spend time with friends and were interested in the cheapest, most spacious accomodations we could get. We were actually quite pleased with the Founders Brooke Suite. No... it's not the usual 5 star vacation spot we generally go for. But it was clean enough, quiet (it's near... More

Given the cost of this place we would not have stayed here if we had not been desperate. It was getting late and our family motorcycle group had not been able to find vacancies in the Newport area. We saw this place and the grounds did look okay so we stopped and took three units. The owner/manage insisted the only... More
