The decor is nice, 2nd time here. Pleasant staff, easy check in / out. Called to inquire arrival time, which was nice. Only suggestion, turn heat on when you know someone’s coming. Room took 3 hours or so to really warm up due to location of heat. Worked great once room was warm. Otherwise GREAT!!

We were visiting family in Bristol for the holidays and used Founders Brook as our home base for five nights. The property is close to Portsmouth’s downtown area and a hop over the bridge to Bristol. We had some of the best sleep we’ve had in years and felt very at home. This is the fourth time we have stayed here and each time we notice improvements. Love the complimentary toiletries!!

The room was clean and the heat/ac unit responsive. The only minor issue was that room was a little overly scented — it had a likely well-intentioned but intense fabric softener smell.

Stayed here for weekend to visit Roger Williams University and Bristol RI. Very quiet, convenient, and clean location. The suite was comfortable and just enough room. Great price. Easy 6-8mins drive over bridge to the University.

A family-run, beautifully renovated old motel in a quiet spot near a busy road. This was a great find when visiting a local friend recovering from surgery - close enough to visit, but not imposing as a guest. Once across the busy road, it's a 10-minute walk to a beach and casual restaurants. Easy to get in and out of on your visits in the area. I had a room with two double beds another friend and I shared. Great air conditioning, a nice living room area with modern applicances made it very homey. Everything was very clean, which we appreciated.

I really liked Founders. It's a modest motel, but had everything I would expect from a higher end spot. The rooms are 3-4 to single story building, so you can park less than 10 feet from your door. I rated the cleanliness a 5 out of 5, but I want to emphasize... it was spotless. The staff was friendly and helpful when I called to ask for late check-in since I was not sure what time I would arrive. Bed was very comfortable and I slept well both nights. Shower was a tad small, but no issue, and surprisingly good water pressure. I know both rooms either side of mine were occupied, but I heard not so much as a peep from either side. (so thick walls, civil guests, or both.) I had to do a bit of work while I was there, and Wifi was no issue. Not a whole lot to do in the neighborhood within walking distance, but Bristol town center is a ~10m drive away.
