The property is right on the beach! Even though my room was facing the side I could still hear the surf and kept my window open so I could feel the cool breeze. I believe the beach is only accessible when it’s not high tide but the public beach is close by. Unfortunately it was rainy so I couldn’t utilize the outside amenities. The location is perfect! I hope to return!!

The good: Room and property were relatively clean but are showing their age. Food at the hotel restaurant was good. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

The bad: Deceptive pricing. They charge a $42/day non-optional \"resort fee\". This is not clearly stated on Expedia or the PV website. For this fee you get standard, expected amenities: wifi, beach towels, in-room safe, bottled water, etc. By the way, you get 2 bottles of water for the entire stay - not each day even though the fee is per day. They obviously charge this fee this to make it appear that their rates are lower. What this resort fee does not include are standard amenities of daily housekeeping (unless requested) or a continental breakfast.

There are better options in the area.

I think for the money it could have been more impressive. The view is gorgeous from the patio and the private beach is perfect. The restaurant is not open every day so that was disappointing and the public restrooms in the foyer definitely needed some attention. My room itself was poolside and very clean. The pool also looked very clean and well maintained. On the patio itself there was some fruit from a cocktail I imagine and a fork discarded from dinner the night before. The hotel is also further down Atlantic which I liked...away from louder crowds. It really was a peaceful stay, just minor details..I would recommend overall.

The reason to stay is location, which can’t be beat. We’ve stayed here before it became ‘corporate’. It’s now almost impossible to call ahead and speak to someone actually at the hotel (persistence will pay off however’). Once there, the staff on site are friendly and helpful. The building given its seafront location requires constant maintenance and some of this was lacking: our door lock was jammed and keycard never worked the 2 days/nights we were there, the pool was also non functioning. The restaurant had limited hours and NO breakfast. There is coffee in the lobby which I guess is covered by the $50/night result fee we were billed after check out. Not sure what else that’s supposed to cover. A huge plus would be an outdoor shower or at least foot shower to keep from tracking in pounds of sand after time on the beach

Our room had an ant infestation and we found crumbs under our bed. We asked the front desk to please send up someone to vacuum the room and spray for the ants while we went out for the night. It was not done. We had to clean up under the bed when we got back late and keep killing the ants. Ew! We showed them videos of all the ants, but still nothing was done. No elevator and I have a very hard time with stairs. They offered for us to move from the 1st floor (which is one flight up already), to the second or third floor. I would have gladly taken them up on their offer, but my knees would not allow it. Also, guests would leave garbage around. A drinking cup here, Andes candies wrappers there, which I am sure happens, but not enough staff to keep up with the keep up.

We have been to the Pleasant View Inn in Westerly 3 times, now, and it never disappoints. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are clean and the pool was warm and crystal clear. We had requested a bottle of champagne in our room the day of arrival to celebrate our 37th year anniversary and there it was chilling in the fridge with two glass champagne flutes as we asked. The free coffee in the lobby was delicious and a nice touch. We had an oceanview room (highly recommend) and had the glass door opened at night with the screen door in place so we could feel the cool breeze and hear the waves crashing against the shore. It was wonderful to sip our champagne or coffee on the 2 person balcony. Just beware that there is no elevator… so if you want the 3rd floor… know that you will have to carry your luggage up a few flights of stairs. Otherwise, we highly recommend the Pleasant View in for a simple, beautiful spring, summer or fall escape. We will definitely be back… the Coleys

PVI’s main attraction is its proximity to the ocean right at its doorstep. Beautiful views and plenty of beach to walk makes it an ideal stay destination in RI.

The amenities are fairly limited prior to late May, as the heated pool isn’t available and the restaurant/bar is closed some days. Still, the beach area and nearby Westerly, Stonington, and Mystic have plenty of charm to make late April and early May worth the stay.

I will say that once upon a time this would have been a lovely property. It is just ok now.

You get hit by a $50 resort fee, which I dont understand. They offer you two free rum punches and I suppose that makes it a resort.
Westerly Beach is beautiful and the setting is great. I can't say any other of the hotels looked much better but this place couod use some TLC.

We’ve stayed here for the past 4-5 summers. It’s a great location to that gives the option of pool or beach as you choose. Good location for fire work displays along the beach and the dining is usually decent to good at the facility. The only glitch this year was that the pool water level was filled too high which made the covers of the filters pop off. This resulted in one of our party who was distracted while helping a child with shoes stepping back and because the filter cover had popped up, she ended up having a fall and getting a painful and serious bruise to her leg muscle. The staff gave ice and checked back in later on, but the injury did end up causing pain and bother for a couple of months. We’re not the litigious type and just handled the inconvenience with our own coverage, but mentioning so others are aware to be careful of the their proximity to the pool filters. Again, that is the only hiccup in multiple years of staying here… It is a delightful location. Only other not would be that there is no elevator and that bags will need to be carried up stairs to rooms. The staff will help with this upon request but since there isn’t an elevator and the layout of the facility has many levels and need to navigate stairs… People with physical challenges may want to visit in person to assess the accessibility before booking.

The location is unbeatable. Absolutely stunning right alongside Misquamicut beach. The amenities seemed great too -- the pool looked nice, there was a lovely entryway area, and it appeared that there was some breakfast and coffee available. The staff were also super friendly.

The only downside was the room itself. It smelled musty and the carpet was stained. If there are better rooms to stay in I'd highly recommend this location with an ocean view. If the other rooms are like ours then I couldn't recommend it unless room cleanliness is a low priority.

The way the rooms are portrayed in Orbitz is very misleading. The room I booked showed a balcony with a water view, yet the room that was booked through Orbitz was not a water view.

Very overpriced but paying for location.
Restaurant was decent too, only had dinner.
I do think for 400- $500 / night in the summer they can upgrade their cheap plastic lawn chairs to nicer more comfortable ones and even the table & chairs at the restaurant are cheap plastic. It would make a ton of difference. Maybe some more flowers around the property and water the lawn a bit so it’s not dead looking at those prices. People want to look at pretty things.

Just got back from a weekend stay at this oceanfront gem, and wow—talk about coastal magic. From the moment I opened the balcony doors and heard the waves crashing like nature’s own playlist, I knew I was in for something special. Hurricane Erin was doing her dramatic thing offshore, so we skipped the ocean dip and took up residence on the loungers. And yes, the entire day was spent there soaking up the sun!

This place is nestled in a sweet spot where everything you need is just a flip-flop stroll away. Morning lattes from cozy coffee shops? Check. Cocktails at buzzing bars? Double check. Cute boutiques for spontaneous retail therapy? You bet. Visit Andreas and order the lobster roll, you'll thank me later.

If you’re craving a mix of laid-back beach vibes and easy access to local flavor, this hotel hits the sweet spot. Perfect for couples, solo adventurers, or anyone who wants to soak up the salty air without sacrificing convenience.

Love that the hotel is right on the beach and had beach front rooms.

Room is a little dated, could have been cleaner and better maintained. No housekeeping services are provided unless you call and request. Could have provided better service and cleaner rooms for the amount they charge for small rooms. You’re paying for beach view and location which we knew when we booked. Maggie’s gift store was great. Owner was very friendly and offered some really cute clothing, jewelry, etc. The hotel charges a resort fee which this hotel in my opinion isn’t a resort and not much different than the other beach hotels in the area which don’t charge the resort fee.
