Matthew
Quite literally the best kept secret on adquidneck island. As I’m writing this review I can tell I won’t get to stay here again. The world is going to find out about this and either the prices are going to go up or they will always be booked. These mini homes are air cooled, with an option for heat, there’s a private bedroom, a sitting area with a pill out couch.. a microwave and mini fridge. And a full size bathroom.. beautifully manicured yard with large bushes and flowering trees. There’s a beach literally 3 blocks in one direction.
Madera
This place is our secret; it is quaint, well-run, and just a delightful stay.
Kelly
The bed was a little lumpy and the air conditioner turning on and off was annoying
Janelle
Wonderful property! The room was super cute and clean. In a great location and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend this place.
Alec
Clean property, friendly staff, only issue is located far from downtown.
luis j
Always clean rooms, beautiful property, and the owners are very nice.. Go there every year.
Preston
One of the best hidden gems I’ve ever seen. Truly a great bang for buck
Alexis
Very clean and the staff are very friendly.
Reid

Duffy
Room is a fantastic location. Highly recommend for anyone trying to explore Bristol and Newport
Amanda
Location was central to the area, room was extremely clean with a cute vibe. Useful amenities in the bathroom, bed was very comfortable. Air conditioner kept room cool, sitting area was nice to have.
Veronica
This place was amazing!! Very peaceful. The staff was kind and very informative.
Alison
We had a great stay at Founders Brook. The motel suites are clearly recently renovated; the appliances worked fine, shower pressure was good, the bed was firm but comfortable. The landscaping was lovely and the location was very accessible and surprisingly quiet despite its proximity to highways. Our only gripe - would be nice to have a TV in the bedroom as the couch wasn't the most comfortable.
Alan
Everything was all good and everyone enjoy staying there
Sue
Good
Lisa
This place is a jewel. It is clean and so well kept. The flowers are beautiful this year! I found it a few years ago and its close proximity to the Hope bridge back into Bristol. The staff are helpful and attentive.
This where I will stay any time I come to RI.

I loved staying here!! I felt like i was staying at my home and not in a large uncomfortable hotel. It was very clean and comfortable. It felt like a spa. The staff were very friendly as well
I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends!!

A hotel was very clean and they let us check in very early.

Best of Both Worlds
Founder's Brook looks like a 1950's motel village but looks are deceiving. The setting is lovely, beautifully maintained grounds with flowering plants and picnic tables. The units are nicely updated and immaculate with AC, TV, mini fridges, microwaves and Keurig coffee makers. It's a very well-run operation with a welcoming staff.
The location is great, about 2 minutes from the Route 24/138 exit. Newport and beaches are less than a half-hour away making a Portsmouth stay a low-key (and lower cost) alternative to Newport.
There are many great restaurants close by (Tiverton 's Boat House Restaurant is exceptional).
Activities include the Newport Car Museum, a dinner/mystery train and Rail Explorer (a pedal car excursion along old railroad tracks).
You're also close to Bristol, a charming historic, waterfront town with many great restaurants and shops, Blithewood gardens, and a cool state park fronted by a pair of stone lions. It's worth a day trip.

Diane
The hotel is sort of in the middle of nowhere, but it's very cute and nice and quiet. We liked the space. My only complaint is that the smell of Fabuloso was very strong. That's a product, I would prefer never to encounter, but aside from that, the stay was great.
donna
Wonderful property with lots of peacefulness. Quiet and spacious. Staff was very friendly.
James
Nicely remodeled property and very clean
Bracken
Simple clean motel, recently renovated. Staff are friendly. Thin walls but nice living space in the suite with fridge, freezer. Microwave and coffee.
Grace
Some dead and alive stink bugs had a terrible back ache the next morning from the bed and the couch was noisy the table fell apart on us when we put a drink down but overall it was fine for one night very doable very friendly staff offered water good amount of space. Would stay here again
Deborah
Property looked great , the bed & pull out couch mattress 's should really be updated . Otherwise it was a cute place
michael
Clean room. Pleasant staff. Only the air conditioner was a little loud stayed there last year , this year,and plan a return for next year.
Michael
Room was an end unit with bright lights outside. Arrived, noted to make sure doors locked. Behind blackout curtains, all windows opened and unlocked, locks look like they had been forced, or could be broken into. Hot time of year, AC turned on while in the room, turned off when returned, loud when running, near busy highways, also noisy, and room hot; made sleeping difficult. Went to discuss concerns with staff a number of times, no one in office. Not the bungalow like as presented on site, more typical motel, not worth premium motel pricing.
Jose
Clean room great location
MICHAEL
Clean and well equipped, comfortable stay. Will rebook.
FIONA
Place is clean and well maintained with cozy coastal themed rooms!!
Denise
Very clean room - comfortable beds - very quiet
Huaining
Comfortable bed, great free self parking,
Thomas
The refrigerator wasn’t working and they had no ability to fix it. The water in the shower would only get lukewarm.
Denise
Always stay there when visiting family. Great room, love the suites, parking is very easy, and AC worked perfect.
Phaoola
Clean room and comfortable! I’d stay again for sure
Gail
It was a very nice Inn I will make sure to visit again.
Mark
Great as usual we stay here very often
Michelle
The room was so cute and clean. I've been in several \"suites\" at other hotels that basically had a bed and a couch in the same room. This has a little living room and the bedroom is separate.
Everything was clean and it smelled clean when I walked in.
They have designated parking in front of your door, which is great because you don't have to search for a parking spot and not end up far from your room.
There are no amenities at this hotel or food. However, you know this information when you researched the hotel.
It is perfect for a family to come and stay and spend their day out and about exploring the area. Even for multiple nights.
We will stay here again if we decide to have a close getaway.

Clean rooms…parking close to room.
Alan
Nice location, very convenient. Our suite was cozy and warm, though the heater (between the two rooms was noisy). The room was showing a little bit of wear and tear but nothing dramatic. All in all a very nice place to stay, we will stay there again.
Carol
Very updated clean and convenient location.
Jose
Clean rooms and a well maintained property.n the rooms were spacious and comfortable..

This was my second time staying for a quick trip to see our son at college. Always clean and welcoming. Will be back

When I arrived (for business) I was a bit skeptical. However, once I got into my room, I was pleasantly surprised. Happy to return.
Ellen

OK in overall
Pauline
I've been here several times since my daughter goes to Roger Williams University It's only a very short distance away and it's reasonably priced. The only negative thing that I have to say is the rooms book up early if the college has an event going on.
Patti
Room was clean, property was nice and quiet.
Paul
parking was safe, room clean I enjoyed my stay
Grace
Parking was safe and easy. Room was clean and smelled clean. Beds were comfortable. The shower had good pressure and temperature. The heater worked well.
Patrick
Visited mother-in-law in March. Got a terrific deal on four nights due to offseason. Arrival was a smooth process. Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Recommend and will stay, again.
Jennifer
Lean and cute
Rachel
Well kept
Jessica
I’ve stayed here 3 times. Everything about this place is lovely. 3 different rooms and each as comfortable as the last. Parking is convenient for you have an empty space is right in front of your room. Rooms are also super clean with a nice mounted TV, fridge, and coffee station. Also the staff at the front desk is always great. Worth every penny. Thank you for your consistency Founders Brook
Butler
Greet place that is clean and updated. Would stay again if in town - great price too.
Jessica
Wonderful place. You can tell they take a lot of pride with this property. The room was really comfortable and exceptionally clean. The decor was pleasing and unlike any other motel I have stayed in. Check in was easy and during my 3 night stay it was very quiet. Which was greatly appreciated. I’d recommend Founders Brook Motel and Suites to everyone. Thank you for this gem. I’ll definitely be back
Jesse
Gross didn’t even stay the night
Deanna
The decor is nice, 2nd time here. Pleasant staff, easy check in / out. Called to inquire arrival time, which was nice. Only suggestion, turn heat on when you know someone’s coming. Room took 3 hours or so to really warm up due to location of heat. Worked great once room was warm. Otherwise GREAT!!
Jason
Everything was great :)
Kathy
We were visiting family in Bristol for the holidays and used Founders Brook as our home base for five nights. The property is close to Portsmouth’s downtown area and a hop over the bridge to Bristol. We had some of the best sleep we’ve had in years and felt very at home. This is the fourth time we have stayed here and each time we notice improvements. Love the complimentary toiletries!!
Elizabeth
Clean updated room with great amenities. Nice motel. Good area. One criticism; the water was not hot.
Robert
Very nice grounds, lovely older place.
Nicola
This was our 2nd time staying here and it was great! Super friendly, very clean! Will be back next year!
Linda
The room was clean and the heat/ac unit responsive. The only minor issue was that room was a little overly scented — it had a likely well-intentioned but intense fabric softener smell.
Jessica
This was a great place to stay. Very clean and the staff were great. I would definitely stay here again.
Tracy
Easy check in, kind and accommodating staff.
4th time staying and will return

Location to RWU, welcoming and courteous staff, very clean and spacious.
Christine
Stayed here for weekend to visit Roger Williams University and Bristol RI. Very quiet, convenient, and clean location. The suite was comfortable and just enough room. Great price. Easy 6-8mins drive over bridge to the University.
Michele
A family-run, beautifully renovated old motel in a quiet spot near a busy road. This was a great find when visiting a local friend recovering from surgery - close enough to visit, but not imposing as a guest. Once across the busy road, it's a 10-minute walk to a beach and casual restaurants. Easy to get in and out of on your visits in the area. I had a room with two double beds another friend and I shared. Great air conditioning, a nice living room area with modern applicances made it very homey. Everything was very clean, which we appreciated.
Nicholas
I really liked Founders. It's a modest motel, but had everything I would expect from a higher end spot. The rooms are 3-4 to single story building, so you can park less than 10 feet from your door. I rated the cleanliness a 5 out of 5, but I want to emphasize... it was spotless. The staff was friendly and helpful when I called to ask for late check-in since I was not sure what time I would arrive. Bed was very comfortable and I slept well both nights. Shower was a tad small, but no issue, and surprisingly good water pressure. I know both rooms either side of mine were occupied, but I heard not so much as a peep from either side. (so thick walls, civil guests, or both.) I had to do a bit of work while I was there, and Wifi was no issue. Not a whole lot to do in the neighborhood within walking distance, but Bristol town center is a ~10m drive away.
Bruce
Clean and spacious room, very safe surroundings. With easy highway access.
Brian
Clean
Stephanie
Great stay.
Jody
Older place but rooms updated inside nicely.
Jonathan
I had great stay but left my AirPods. The hotel staff kindly mailed them back to me in California.
Todd
Room was quite small (no closet) but very clean and comfortable. Mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker were appreciated. Lovely grounds as well. We stayed two nights and would have appreciated clean towels the second night, but overall a good place to stay and convenient for what we needed.
Peter
Simple, clean, quiet, friendly
Giselle
Small space but comfortable enough for the price.
Michelle
Convenient location; spacious separate living and bedroom; very simple accommodations but clean/new; keurig and fridge; great price! Highly recommend if you don’t need fancy.
nicolas

Dale

Karen E.

Kevin
Adorable Cottages
These are comfortable and quaint cottages set in a residential area with great lanscaping. Its like being in your own little cottage. It is relatively newly renovated and it is clean! We love it here and would definitely stay again when visiting family. Its a gem!
Robin
Convenient easy place to stay. No frills but clean. Sometimes a little too heavy on the cleaning products. Staff couldn’t be nicer.
Marilyn
Loved the mini fridge that included a freezer. Only downside is the office is irregularly staffed. Bed was comfy and bathroom had a walk in shower rather than a tub, which was a major plus for me.
Thomas
It was very clean and quiet and beautifully landscaped

Kenneth
Excellent location quick I and out. Clean comfortable rooms. Noting really to do on site, but if you are spending your days out and about this is a perfect spot.
Amy
The bed gave me a very bad rash
Eric
Would not recommend.
My wife and I were disappointed in our stay. The man in the office was not very welcoming. The office was rather disheveled. There were all kinds of tools piled up behind the counter. Ot was just untidy.
The room was meh. The mattress was very flat and in needs to be replaced. The pillows were lumpy and seemed beyond there usefulness also. When we laid in bed and looked up at the lamps above the bed they were very dusty and there were cobwebs on them.
The bathroom was clean and met our expectations.
