Best Western Providence-Seekonk Inn

Regular hotel, friendly staff

Exceptionally warm (but not ingratiating) staff. Although I didn't use them, there's a decent pool and fitness center. My room was clean and comfortable.

At the free breakfast, eggs were runny and home fries were hard and overcooked. You get what you pay for, I guess. Although the room was comfortable, it and the bathroom could use some updating.

Location is key

I was visiting my closest friend after the loss of her father. The BW Seekonk was conveniently located to Barrington, Warren, and Bristol Rhode Island, as well as the neighboring Massachusetts towns. It was the nearest available hotel to where I needed to be. Staff (primarily the front desk clerk) was very friendly and helpful. As some reviews noted, the bed was up on risers, which was odd, but I'm only 5'4", and I had no problem sitting on the edge of the bed. It probably gave the room a cleaner look.

The price I paid for this hotel was ridiculous given the property. There was apparently a soccer tournament in Barrington, RI, and I think that made the rooms fill up quickly, and raised the price. This was not a two hundred and twenty dollar a night hotel, but, like I said, it was the location I needed, and in this instance, I was glad to pay it to be near my friend. The carpet, while somewhat recent, looked horribly '70s at a distance. I never go barefoot while in hotels in general, so this was purely a cosmetic thing for me. Also, the pool was located very close to the elevator, resulting in wet floor near and in the elevator, which could be a slip hazard.

It was a little noisy in the morning's but other than that it was good
