Sad hotel

We were very disappointed with our stay at The Coonamessett. First, I found it odd that the front desk closes at 8:00 p.m. That was not terrible - they called and told us so, and that they would leave the room key for us. But then the room was up a very old and narrow staircase. Worse, there was some kind of flood or problem in the room prior to our arrival (rug was wet and they had an ozone machine set up in the hallway). It was a terrible smell and so we asked if our room could be changed the next day. It was a little disconcerting that they seemed aware of the room's condition and weren't surprised by our request to move. The new room was better but I would note that they don't have desks in their rooms, which makes it very uncomfortable if you have any business to do. Breakfast was minimal and they don't let you into the building until 7:30. Thankfully the weather wasn't bad as we had to wait outside. Decor is very sad - like they are trying for a more modern look but haven't quite hit the mark. It all seems like just a veneer. I've known the property for years - decades - and while I was excited to see what they've done with it, it actually just felt depressing.

The hotel is very nice. Our room was wonderful and the location is great. Unfortunately, we were given a room facing the very busy road and rush hour traffic starts very early, before 5 a.m. so make sure that you request a room not facing the road.
