“Nice place-Friendly people-just around the corner to the beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 3, 2012

A very nice place to stay. Very Clean! Very friendly staff. A little tight on space but we didn't spend a lot of time in the room. Beautiful view of Salt Pond in back. Five minute walk to beach. If we go back to Westerly would definitely go back again.

Room Tip: Bring an iron with you. Welcomed pets.

“Old timey beach hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 30, 2012

I was a little worried when we pulled up, all we could hear was loud bass from the bar up the street. Once in our room though, it was blissfully quiet. The room was small but very clean with a fridge and microwave. The bathroom is small but the shower had great pressure and was also very clean. The staff is outstanding, friendly, informative, extremely helpful. We didn't use the paddleboat or canoe but they are available and free. The hotel is right on the salt pond with a nice common area out back with picnic tables and grills for guest use. We'll definitely be back.

“Beach Motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 15, 2012

The hotel was pretty good. I thought the room and bathroom were very small. But was clean. I was a little disappointed that the motel really was not on the beach, but it was not very far. We were able to walk there in a couple minutes. The weather was very rainy so there was not a ton of people there. I don't care for beaches that are covered with people. So I'm not sure how it would be in great weather. Also I felt that the motel was a bit expensive for what it was.

Room Tip: The bathroom and shower were very small so if anyone is the least bit on the large side, there will...

“Quintessential beach motel.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 27, 2012 via mobile

This was our first stay and the Sea Shell is everything prior reviews indicated. Clean , simple and inexpensive. The staff is super friendly, the town in general is very friendly. Misquamicut is like Cape May, NJ. Perfect for kids, nice ocean beach with decent surf. We would go back.

“Awesome Place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 18, 2012

Sea Shell is my favorite place to stay when coming up to misquamicut for a night or weekend beach trip. The Sea Shell has a great staff who are willing to help you with anything you need. The backyard is awesome for hanging out after the beach. I have used the grill in the back as well as the awesome paddle boat that you can take around the lake. Its extremely nice and relaxing at the Sea Shell. The rooms are very clean and the price is reasonable. I won't stay anywhere else!
