East Bay Bed & Breakfast

I have travelled all over the world and as a woman of color, have never experienced the prejudice I did at this hotel. From the moment the owner Rebecca met me, she was unwelcoming. When I booked the room with her over the phone, she described it as a two-bedroom suite. She did not explain the suite was actually two separate rooms and a separate shared bathroom which was essentially located in a hotel common space. The setup is on the third floor but any guest can walk up and access the space. I have two young kids who I did not feel safe leaving in a separate room. So when I questioned Rebecca about moving some bedding around because I felt unsafe leaving my children in the room alone, she incredulously asked me ‘where are you from?, as if I must be from a third world place with such a question. I told her I’m from CT and explained that it was unclear in her description that the setup is two separate rooms, but that we will manage. She then told me I could leave and she would return my deposit. I told her that I had nowhere else to go, it’s late at night, and I picked her place because it seemed nice, and that I’ll make the sleeping arrangement work. She was also offended because I sprayed the doorknobs of our rooms with Lysol (you would think Hotel owners would be understanding of guests taking extra precautions during a pandemic).nnA few minutes later I come downstairs and Rebecca was mocking me out loud to her husband. I was insulted but wished her a good night and walked out to my car to drive to my family who were at dinner. Before I got into my car Rebecca came outside and gave me a nasty look. I explained to her that she need not get offended when a guest asks questions or makes comments. Rebecca just mockingly laughed at me. I told her there is no need to laugh at me and that I’m not trying to offend her in anyway. I got in my car but before I drove away, Rebecca’s husband Mike tapped my window and said, ‘you don’t need to stay at our hotel. Please get your things from your rooms and make sure you leave everything else in tact’. I was shocked but silently stepped out of my car, got my things, wished them a good night, and departed. I spent the next two hours finding a place for my family on Labor Day Saturday night.nnI cannot imagine how any hotel owner has the audacity to treat guests the way I was treated, especially at $450/night, unless they are prejudiced. It was truly a hurtful and humiliating experience.

Loved this place. I felt welcomed, wanted and Diane went out of her way to make me feel this way. From the late night arrival to the early departure.nnWe had a homemade breakfast every morning. We were waited on like we were royalty. We were also told the great places to see. As well as some great coupon saving ideas for the mansions.nnThe home is very clean and beautiful inside. It showed the meticulous detail they have paid to make people's visit a home from home. With biscotti and chocolates available all the time and coupons to local deals I highly recommend this my new home from home in Rhode Island.

Come here for an charming, comfortable stay. Don't come here if you dislike amazing breakfasts.

Absolutely first rate experience. We stay as often as we can, great location, comfortable rooms, breakfast always delicious. They treat us like family.

We've been guests at the EBB&B several times - usually while in town visiting family down the coast. This really is the place to stay in Jamestown. The location is within walking distance of several local favorites and of course the 4th of July fireworks over the water. The proprietors of this warm and cozy home, make you feel as if you're part of their extended family. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms updated. We can't say enough good things. Be sure to book a month or more in advance as they stay fairly booked up especially around major holidays.
