Bristol Harbor Inn

Best place to get stranded in a blizzard (ask me how I know…). Vincent and his team went above and beyond to make our stay during the Blizzard of 2026 unforgettable and - dare I say - fun. Our rooms were perfect, the hotel was spotless, and they were wonderful hosts. All the charm of a small town inn, but a really elevated experience that lets you know you’re somewhere special. I’ve stayed here many times - amazing coffee right next door, and the world’s greatest bagels a few steps beyond. With gorgeous waterfront views, every season here is perfection. I’ll return again and again. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

Very nice inn. Location was great to where we were looking for. Right by downtown Bristol, RI. ||||We were able to walk around and go into the stores and there were a lot of options for dining. We were able to find a restaurant for. We were able to find a reservation for New Year’s Eve dinner in town. Would recommend driving into downtown Newport if you were looking for more options and things to do. About 30 minutes drive. ||||Only thing was the location of our room, which was on the first floor overlooking the Main Street. Could not open the blinds as everyone would be able to see into our room so there was no privacy. Would recommend upper floors for privacy. Besides that, we enjoyed our stay. Staff was very friendly.

DO NOT BOOK HERE during the winter. They will not give you your money back if there are dangerous weather conditions. My wife and I were supposed to go to Bristol for a 40th birthday party. There is a winter weather advisory in effect all day including snow, ice, strong wind, and temperatures below 0 degrees with wind chill. We are looking to stay safe and not have our lives put at risk. Furthermore, the birthday party with all locals was even canceled due to this weather. When I called the front desk the manager was out for at least a couple hours preparing for these conditions. So even though they had to prepare for this I still was not entertained. I have never experienced being treated with such little empathy and I am sorry for anyone else that has to deal with this. My only recom

Had a wonderful experience at the Bristol Harbor Inn! Right from the start the GM, Vincent, created an elevated experience and went out of his way to create a welcoming and hospitable environment during the check in process. The hotel was great and the town is quaint and gorgeous. Highly recommend a stay here while visiting the Bristol area!

This is a very nice hotel, especially for the price. It is in the middle of town where there are a lot of nice places to grab a bite and meet with friends. The staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the the Dewolf Tavern. While there are some very fun bars with bands etc.. nearby, we found a quiet refuge from all of the hubbub here. The bar is well stocked and the bartenders were very friendly.
