The Surfside Motel

We recently visited our kids who were camping in Narragansett. We are NOT campers ourselves and decided to see if there were dog-friendly accommodations nearby. We were happy to find that The Surfside did allow dogs. Our room was very clean, had plenty of drawers for clothing, a good size refrigerator, kitchenette with a microwave, toaster and drip coffee maker. Dishes, glasses and utensils are provided. The bathroom had plenty of towels and hair and body products, although we did not use them, preferring our own. Debbie the manager checked us in and told us to hang the "services needed" sign on the door in the am if we wanted anything. We did and were provided with fresh towels, which is exactly what we wanted. The king size bed had nice, crisp percale sheets and new comfort

Very small shower with no bathtub in room 8. Had special needs child with us that doesn't take showers. Had trouble getting cold water. But it was a nice place to stay! Spent 3 days there. We would stay again.

Wanted to do a girls weekend in Newport and found the SurfSide, a reasonably priced family owned establishment within an easy travel distance to Newport.||||Looked like the room had been recently updated. Pleasant and restful colors. Very clean. Room was a bit small but an ok size for two, especially since most of our time was travelling about.||Power outlets could have been better placed for access to charge electronics...2 phones, two Kindles. Bathroom very clean but the shower was a bit small as I am a larger sized person.||||The setting reminded us of a nice backyard. Could sleep with open windows and not much sound to disturb you. Found the other guests be friendly, kind of like a neighborhood. Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, gas grill and fire pit available.||||Went to school in

We got to the Motel early and headed to the beach as checking was not possible. After the beach - Check in was a breeze with Debbie. ||Our room was on the 2nd level and was very, very clean and cozy. Everything worked in the room; and the AC is very good. || I would have preferred the ground level, as they had adirondack chairs and the picnic tables out front - and because I live on a 4 floor walk up; I really did not want to climb any stairs..lol.||You need to make sure that you put the sign outside of your room for the room to be serviced the next day. We did not do this, but Debbie gave us our fresh towels, so all was good. ||The location is so great. The beaches are beautiful and Debbie gave us a great recommendation for a spot on the water for dinner - Oyster Farm.||I will definit

We hosted a large party this summer and our out-of-town guests needed a place close by to stay. The Surfside was able to offer us a block of ten rooms at $179/night, minimum of two nights. This is a good deal for the area in July and $20 off their regular price. There's not much competition in Charlestown, so these places don't have to try too hard. Starting with my guests trying to book their rooms, they could never reach anyone! I kept getting texts from my family, "are you sure they're open?" No one answers the phone." "I left a message...no one's called me back!" Once my guests arrived, they were disappointed. The rooms are very small and while some did get a small kitchenette, as pictured on the website, some didn't though they paid the same price. I heard about the trickle of
