I"ll start with the good. The seashell location is very convenient to both Misquamicut state beach and town beach. Its also close to many restaurants and bars. Its also one of the only hotels that doesnt require a 2 night minimum. However, for the price you would hope they could make some effort in the areas of the room. We... more

The pink palace is nice little motel less than 1 block from the beach. The rates are a bit less than the beachfront motels and the room was comfortable. It won't compare to a 5 star resort in NYC or Boston, but it is pet friendly and family friendly. The TV's are flat screen. The bathrooms are really small, but... more

The Sea Shell Motel is a good place to stay at Misquamicut beach with your pet. The motel changed owners last year and the new owners have done a good job of trying to update the rooms and furnishings, but they still have a little more work left to do. The bathroom in our room (not yet renovated) suffered from... more

The Sea Shell Motel is a perfect place to crash for the weekend at the beach. The rooms are small but very clean and give you everything you need (TV, cable, HBO, sink, shower, A/C (in season), heat). Since you are at the beach, you don't spend much time inside the room. There is an outside hot tub (inseason), and... more

We stayed here on two occasions and only because the beach is nice and the rooms were only $99/night before the new owner. Last year the new owners raised the rates $40+/night but made no improvements (except adding a microwave). The downfall was that you had to unplug your airconditioner each time you wanted to use the microwave. Rooms are... more

My wife and I purchased the Sea Shell Motel in April of 2006. We've made a lot of changes and improvements to the motel since then. The rooms are small, that's true. There are two double beds in each room and no space to add a cot or anything. We did free up some space by removing the big old...

Rooms are small but clean. Hop, skip and a jump to the ocean. Only place I know that allows pets (extra charge). Paddleboat was fun. Nice bikes available to ride, no need to lug ours. Jacuzzi is always nice. Staying there again this year. more
