Al at the front desk is awesome, very friendly, very accomodating! Room was not fancy but very clean, plenty of towels and the constant sounds of the ocean are very relaxing. Downtown Westerly and Watch Hill are closeby.

Stayed only one night and it was THE best! The ability to hear the lullaby of the waves at night priceless. The staff present, polite, and professional. Thank you from Albany, NY ( prior Rhody , too)

The staff was beyond nice! Rooms are clean and affordable. Right on the water with “private to the hotel” beach access right outside the elevator doors. We have been coming for 3 years now, and we will continue to come back!

It was okay. Very, very strict & price gouging for an 8x10 room- $450.00 a night charging an additional $25.00 for an ocean view which was hindered by their parking lot. Good water pressure & hot water; freezer that needed to be defrosted but DIDN'T FREEZE ice! Air conditioning worked; beds pushed up against the walls so you could only roll off one way. . 2 full beds; I can only compare the owners to the soup nazi on the Jerry Steinfield episode. No coffee in the room; baggies of ice; quiet period from 10 pm to 7 am; no guests; all kinds of fines. The nail in the coffin was: check out was 11:00 am and I wanted to use the beach until 5 or so.When I asked the "Hotel Nazi" if I could continue to park my car there, he said:"It's an additional $20.00". To wit, I said, "I just handed you $450.00."And, he said, "that was for the room." And that's why I rated it one-star. It's all about the $$$$$$! They did not go over or beyond. Mediocre place. The ocean is majestic; God gave us that without a chsrg

First of all, I want to say that some of the older reviews have complaints that are not true at this time. Reserved parking for one car per room is included in the price. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were very nice. The hotel is very clean and the management and staff are just amazing....friendly, helpful, accommodating, but they do have rules to keep the hotel pleasant for everyone. The rooms are comfortable and basic, but they include a mini fridge and microwave. You are not paying for the room, you are paying to be on the beach...the parking lot is sandy because once you walk past the spaces, you are on the beach. You can hear the crashes of the waves and if you are on the oceanside of the hotel, the balcony is almost as good as being right on the sand!!! This hotel is for true beach lovers, not those who want spa tubs and luxurious amenities. Those who complained that the price was high obviously didn't look at the other oceanfront beaches priced at $900 and way up from there. I will be back because it is the closest beach experience to the oceanfront house my best friend's parents owned in Nag's Head NC. I had to walk about 10 times farther to hit the sand and only the master bedroom allowed you to hear the waves...and only faintly. Your opinion of the MBFI will depend on your priorities...beach lovers....10 stars!

Their WIFI is horrible. You connect, but absolutely limited bandwidth. Rooms are small and no closets. Very expensive for what you get. But you can have a great ocean viewRooms: Small, showing wear. No closet. Beds are soft and too close together. Electric is inconvenient if you have a CPAP.

Hotel was in a great location and rooms were nice as described. Unfortunately we came in 2 cars and were met by a rude parking attendant who told us there was only 1 parking spot per room. When we inquired if there was any other public parking he stated "it was not his problem". I looked through my booking info through a third party site and NO WHERE did it state that there was only 1 vehicle per room allowed, had we known we definitely would have car pooled. When I went up to speak to the man at check in he insisted it is was stated policy but again I could not find it on my booking info. The only way we could park there was to pay and additional $50 for the night plus tax in addition to the room cost which was already overpriced. Since we had no other options and neither gentlemen would assist us with alternatives we paid for the additional parking spot. Come to find out later they have plenty of parking but sell those spots to daily beachgoers for $20-$40 a day. Really disappointed in the misinformation that was advertised, then to top it off they were extremely unhelpful and just wanted to make an extra buck! Not the kind of people I want to do business with again.

Nice, very friendly staff. Clean room, with a wonderful beach view. Sturdy metal balconies. Our favorite thing was the sound of the waves ... definitely a beach inn!As some reviews mention, it's not the Ritz, but they've done a very nice job with this beach side hotel. The room had a small fridge, microwave, TV, table, two chairs, and two plastic Adirondacks on the balcony. And, again, you can't beat the view!!

Overall disappointing. Highlights were the location and the gentleman running the parking lot. He was wonderful. There is no housekeeping. If you want new towels, you have to chase down a housekeeper between 11am-2pm and ask. The rooms are like dorms - all white walls and ill-fitting, mismatched furniture. They have area rugs in them that desperately need to be cleaned. They offer complimentary coffee... on a dirty table in the parking area. If you're doing just a night or two, you can make it. Otherwise, no way. And this is not a place for families.

We arrived on Sunday and had I known that If you get there before check in you have to use a disgusting porta john, I would not have stayed there. Also, says the beach is private but they will allow non motel guests to pay $20 and park and stay on their tiny beach. On the day we arrived, the motel next door had a DJ blasting music so loud, I could not hear my husband talking right next to me. The DJ was not there Monday-Thursday. Bed/pillows uncomfortable, no room cleaning service, no phone in room, no peep hole on door, no closet or safe in room. If you don't find the cleaning lady in the hall between 11 and 2 you will have to use the same dirty towels all week or go to the desk to get some. Same thing if you want ice - no ice machine you have to go to the desk and ask for a small bag of ice. For $370/night I really expected more. Staff was nice and room was clean & quiet but other than that I would expect more for the price.
