Our family stayed at the Willows for two nights last summer, and we were very disapponted. We stayed in one of the rooms near the road. Although the room was large, it was incredibly outdated and musty; exactly what you think of when you think of the term "cheap motel," though I don't consider their rates cheap. The entire facility... More

This is an unassuming place you would not likely swerve off the road to engage. My stay was in shoulder season when the restaurant was already closed and the resort was not so busy. It is the serenity of the place that attracts me. There is an expansive lawn with a pond only a stone's throw away. A family of... More

We have been going to RI forever...I have no idea why we never tried the Willows. First of all the owners and staff are WONDERFUL!!!! The grounds are kept just beautiful. We had a efficiency right across from the pool, beautiful patio with a picnic table. My son and his family and my daughter in laws family were also there.... More

The willows for the price is way over rated. The buildings are old and need work. The dock is old and falling apart. The restaurants service is poor and the food marginal. We did some research and found next year we could do much better for less money elsewhere. Good luck!!!!

We stayed at the Willows for 2 nights in the middle of September for a wedding. We stayed in a separated building (near the tennis courts) a distance away from the main check-in building. We got there late at night and the roads were not very well lighted. The rooms themselves were quite large and clean, with two queen size... More

Spent two nights in late August with my husbands whole family-29 total ranging in age from 2 -76 years of age. When you drive up it does look dated and checking in can be a chore. But once you get past all of that it really wasn't so bad. I never really noticed a musty smell and if anyone else... More

Basic motel type accommodations near Ninigret Park. Prices are a bit inflated, but so are others in the area. Pleasant restaurant for breakfast, with a lake view. Extra sink and small refrigerator in room. Bring your own hair dryer and shampoo. They only supply soap.

We just got back from our first trip to RI. Chose Willows for price and the grounds sounded nice and decided to chance the room (due to neg. reviews) We are a family of 4 with 2 young boys and I really wanted to take them to the ocean. The first impression of the office is a bit dreary and... More

We chose this resort because of the excellent price. We came with other families, all different rooms. We stayed in a family efficiency unit & the others stayed in a regular double room. My efficiency was smaller than the regular rooms and more out dated than their rooms. I was completely misled with the discription of the unit. I thought... More

We stayed here for one night on our trip between Cape Cod and NYC and had a good time. The staff could not have been sweeter. They were more helpful then we expected in taking care of our bicycles, giving directions, and helping us with equipment. There us access to a large inlet and the kayaking was wonderful. We would...
