8/10 Good
"Booked “King Room” for 3-people - checked/selected 3-people in the box, keeping in mind there will be extra bed (sofa, or roll away bed prepaired-ready to use for 3-rd person). Check in was 3-PM, drove from Burlington VT (4.5 hrs), coming to hotel around 2-PM, called at 1-PM from road asking for early 2-PM check in, not granted! So, went to Newport, RI, came to hotel before 9-PM, and got room with ONE king bed, nothing more for 3-rd person (15-yrs old grandson). Asked for help, called front desk 2x, went to front desk 3x, asking: please, help! Need two beds room, or extra bed! Answer: we all booked out. 2-people at front desk were not really interested in helping, showing they are busy, looking into screens. Finally, tired after the long day, the gentleman came in, and set up roll away bed around 11-PM!!, for $35 extra money. This should be included. Paid $369 with breakfast for 3, plus $35 for rollaway bed. Decided do not complaint, next time won’t go there. Breakfast prepaid, simple menu ala carte, nothing special, hotel OK, lower class hotel, but.. not cheap! Close to Foxwood Casino, but not interested in it."

"We have been going to the Holiday Inn in South Kingstown since the early 90’s. Always a fun time as we just love how central it is to everything and the pool is an extra bonus. During our recent stay we were happy to see the rooms were renovated and very clean. But, what really impressed us, was the front desk staff who were all so friendly and always wanting to make sure our stay was perfect. Jason, Chrissy, Sam and Maria all deserve a shout out for providing us with such wonderful hospitality. We are already looking forward to summer 2027."
