I stay at this hotel once a year when I bring family members to a camp in Rhode Island. Initially, I should note that, post.-COVID this otherwise unremarkable hotel has increased all of its prices to a breathtaking $320 a night. This is an incredible price given that it’s not near anything whatsoever to speak of, except for an adjacent Home Depot and Walmart - not the water, a sports venue, or even in airport to Speaker. Like all who tells in its chain, it offers no outdoor pool or really any aesthetic, outdoor value or dining option. It’s just a superbly priced holiday inn express. Still, it’s worth observing that a decision has been made to price gouge like every other vendor offering any form of service in today’s market place without any rational relationship to actual cost at the retail level.
The other criticism is a simple one that seems to occur with each visit: every room is damp, reflecting, a wildly, overdue servicing need of the window, air conditioning units. Dampness also carries an unwelcome smell; not overtly offensive, just ever present and heavy. For $320 a night, the hotel should endeavor to step up the few perks it can make available.
