Narragansett Inn — Hotel in New Shoreham

My wife and I travel a lot and are generally not picky. But this was disappointing. As my wife told the front desk employee, we paid a luxury price for a youth hostel experience. The walls are paper thin (thanks, dude coughing two feet away from our head across the wall all night), the entire house is super noisy (stairs, doors, etc.), the quiet hours are not enforced (so many loud drunk people coming in at 1-2 am), the bathroom on the 2nd floor was shared by 4-5 rooms and was nasty -- the shower especially, my wife had no hot water for her shower in the early evening (!!), the room was very small and the bed surely not a queen as advertised, no AC, and just a rundown joint in general. To top it off, when I reported that the ONLY outlet in the room didn’t work, she was like, oh, that always happens, here I can fix it. And came up, pulled the bed from the wall, and wiggled the adapter until the lights came on. I was like: uh, I’m an electrician, and that is a super fire hazard! She shrugged, but I insisted she get an extension cord so we could plug in to a safe outlet. I can't believe we paid over $300 per night for this hole. The only positives are: location and access to other New Harbor establishments; and the $15 buffet you have access to 1.5 miles away at the 1661 Inn (which, by the way, feels much more like a "real" hotel -- actually a nice place to stay and eat). I’d look elsewhere unless you like youth hostels and...

Deeply disappointed. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels and motels in my career, but I never stayed in one as bad as this one. Our room was in the annex house next to the hotel so we could have our own bathroom. |The room was small but adequate. The bathroom was so small that you had to sit sideways on the throne if you wanted to close the door. The shower had an abundance of black mold on the tile. The floor under the sink of the bathroom was damaged so that the subfloor was open to dirt and moisture. |All the windows did open since there was no air conditioning but the windows had to be held open with pieces of wood. |There was no noise reduction between the other hotel rooms and the outside of the hotel so we heard all about out neighbors' activities. The room had no refrigerator which is important if you are on a vacation trip. No TV and the annex building that we were in had no WIFI. The closet had not been vacuumed and we found a bag of pot on the shelf under the extra blanket. Lastly, there was a lot of spiders in the room. Many different species if this excites your interest!|Needless to say, the spiders and black mold did not please my wife. The value/cost of the stay was very expensive. |The manager that ran the front desk was cordial but had no explanation for the missing parts of the continental breakfast menu, & the lack of wifi. At that point, we gave up telling him about the other deficiencies...
