Property was nice. They advertised for early check-in, but they charge an additional $35 for the convenience. Appears to be a bit deceptive. Polite staff and great location.

Hello Richard, you had asked for an early check in time at 10 AM, check in time is 3 PM. You had agreed to pay the early check in fee, which is what the fixed fee is for everyone who checks in early. We hope you enjoyed your time at our ocean front motel. We look forward to seeing you again.

The room smelled like bleach. Which led us to believe the room was clean. There dirty fingerprint marks on the walls next to the toilet. There brown/red smudges on the bathroom door and door frame. The pillows were extremely flat and uncomfortable. The odor of bleach was so strong we both woke up with headaches. Neither of us felt comfortable showering based on what the shower looked like. The room was way too expensive for the condition it was in. We stayed in multiple inns and hotels in the area over a week that were cheaper and a 100 times cleaner and nicer.

Crap no flexibility to handle problems
I booked a non-refundable room. The day before my trip my wife tests positive for Covid. The fishing boat I was going on won’t let me on board. The fishing capt allowed me to postpone. I call the hotel. Nope. Can’t reschedule. Call hotels.com. They call hotel. Nope. Then I get a note saying we charged you for one night which was all I booked. Hope we get your business again. Right.

Hi Jeff, We are sorry that your wife tested positive for COVID and hope everyone is doing well. Our cancellation policy states (in the email confirmation/receipt that you received) modifications can be made a week prior to arrival, but in the 7 days before arrival, changes may not be made without incurring a cancellation fee. We are one of the few convenient hotels around for the many fisherman who stay with us for their outings. We understand you are upset, and even though you disparaged us, you are welcome at the Scarborough Beach Motel for your next fishing trip, as you may find it difficult to find accommodations in the area. Again, we are sorry your plans did not work out.

Great location and stay!
We stayed for one night in October to visit our daughter at URI. The room had an amazing ocean view, and the sunrise was gorgeous! Although quite small, the room was very clean and updated. The staff were friendly and thorough. The breakfast was underwhelming, but did the trick! We would definitely stay again!

A hidden treasure
After staying in several good hotels this trip, I have to say the Scarbrough beach motel was my absolute favorite. The owner was attentive, friendly and full of hospitality. The hotel was cozy, very clean, and we’ll kept. The property is in tiptop shape, and attention to detail was an added bonus. We all loved it. The beach across the street was the icing on the cake. Our room was an efficiency. It was well stocked, well organized and very clean. The grab and go breakfast was fresh and convenient. I highly recommend this hotel.
Three minute walk from our room to the beach
Cute comfortable and super clean efficiencies and minutes from shopping and restaurants
Walk on the beach or enjoy the view from the Lookout point

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The owner was cheerful, accommodating, and helpful. The location is right across the road from a beautiful beach. The town is charming, and when we were there in early September, it was nearly empty. We had the beach to ourselves. I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice vacation next to the beach with a friendly hotel.
